Video of downtown Sudbury, Ontario, Canada taken not long after sunrise on August 16, 2017. Covered is most of the downtown core, along with a drive at the end south on Paris Street to Science North.
Sudbury, Ontario is a city of around 160,000 located 410 kilometres north of Toronto via highway 400/69. By area, this is the largest city in Ontario and the seventh largest in Canada. By population, it is the 24th largest metro area in Canada.
The city was established in the late 1800's with the discovery of nickel ore. Incorporated as a town in 1893, at one point in the 1970's, 25% of the population worked for nickel mining company Inco. Seen in the background at times during the video is the 380 metre tall Inco Superstack, the second tallest structure in Canada after the CN Tower.
Other landmarks that can be seen in the video include the Sudbury Community Arena, home of the OHL's Sudbury Wolves, a venue that opened in 1951 (look for the statue of Stompin' Tom Connors out front). Ramsey Lake is seen near the end. The lake is the largest lake in the world that is located entirely within the boundaries of a single city. Bell Park is also seen, a previous stop on the Amazing Race Canada. Across Ramsey Lake from Bell Park is the campus of Laurentian University.
Background music: Drankin' Song, Guts and Bourbon, Bumba Crossing, all by Kevin MacLeod.

Tom I am planning to move to Sudbury at a location your drove by on Larch Street that tall building where only seniors are allowed to move there. You have to be 50+ and I am 52. All my doctors are in Sudbury and I need to closer to them. Right now I live in French River and I have to depend on my landlord to drive me there to get to my appointments. I miss the city living I am fed up with the country living. No place to go when you don't have a vehicle. I used to live in Oshawa, so I know about small City living and coming from the largest city in Canada Toronto which I would never go back there to live too expensive. Anyways Tom I just wanted to say thanks for sharing this video. Oh and I've been on that bridge of International flags couple of times.....

That water tower is iconic. Downtown Sudbury, like a lot of Ontario downtowns has lots of addiction issues, poverty. You needed to drive by Deluxe Hamburgers on Regent St. next time, also that crazy intersection by the train tracks at Regent & Lorne, I got totally mixed up there. I don't find the place to be that miserable though, interesting spots, Bell Lake etc. Lots of history, next time up there I want to see the Toe Blake Arena in Coniston, just because!

Should show it during the winter months. The when elderly cant put money in the meter because of snow banks 6 feet high. They still get a ticket though. It's not a jewel. Downtown is not maintained, every other corner has a drug dealer wanting to sell to you. The other corners have homeless begging for change or smokes. Sudbury is a beautiful town, the downtown core is not, when the city refuses to clean it up, by removing the homeless, drug dealers or even snowbanks the rest of the city turns their backs. This is exactly what has happened here.

I believe you. I've never lived there, only visited many times, so my view of the city is tainted. The city might have these issues, but they're not entirely unique to Sudbury. I've put up many of these downtown videos from cities in Ontario and Quebec. Almost always, there are similar comments to yours from people who live in those places. I think the bigger picture is our government. We must be the only country in the world that profits off addiction. Please, buy alcohol, drugs and gamble your paycheck away. Then, come to us for treatment. All the while, we'll misspend your money to make the rich voters happy and convince the rest of the world how great we are.

Apartments are typically around CAD $600 a month at the cheapest to $1200 for the most expensive for a 1 bedroom. You can expect to pay around $100 a month for good internet and about $150 for food. Gas is currently around $1.30 per litre so fuel of around $60 per month is normal. Bus passes are free if you are a student at LU and very cheap if you are at Cambrian. The city is very spread out but if you stay in the student areas there's lots of things close by.

Homeless have work to do too. Many homeless in North America choose addiction and irresponsibility over getting clean. In the USA and Canada there is a sub culture of youth who actually chose to not work or live by any rules. This adds to the overall problem.
