r/Sudbury

Any recomendations.

is anyone else stuck in this massive traffic jam on highway 69 near French River? been here for hours. what happened??

My partner is recovering from a serious illness and needs a nap every 2 or 3 hours. Still, he's getting really bored of being home and around town so I'm trying to plan a little road trip. I'm picturing driving for about an hour, getting a sweet treat (or maybe even a bit of lunch) to eat somewhere outside and nice to look at. Then we'd go home for his nap. Does anyone have any ideas for some place close to Sudbury, but not too close? TIA

Moving to Sudbury and trying to learn more about different neighborhoods/areas before deciding where to live.

One thing I’m curious about is long-term environmental/water quality considerations, especially in areas closer to historical or active mining activity (for example around Copper Cliff/Copper Street areas).

Are there neighborhoods in Greater Sudbury that locals generally consider better for:

• water quality / less concern about contamination
• newer infrastructure or pipes
• overall family living
• good resale value and long-term stability

Not trying to offend anyone — just genuinely trying to understand the area better as someone relocating. Would appreciate honest local insight from people who know Sudbury well.

Hi! I really like to feed birds and squirrels in my backyard. I want to know if there is some budget friendly way to feed them? Is there any place that sells them at better price in bulks other than Costco or Canadian tire?

Hey there I'm 45m and was put on the injury list....

This is what I'm here to ask...

What do u guys who are on this and free all day do...been so bored...lol

Any ideas would be amazing thanks

Best places to go fishing in Sudbury?

Anybody recommend a good less crowded spots to sit and enjoy nature near a water body or a scenic view. A bench to sit would be great too. Any suggestions?

I'm looking to start or join a walking group now that the nice weather is here. Anybody interested?

I just came across this article about the current removal of the Superstack, and was thrown off by their goals of hiw much they want to remove this year.

As someone that spent over a decade keeping that thing together while it was needed.

I find this year's goal to remove over 280' unrealistic to last year's 105' of stack removal.

The reason is because the concrete gets thicker as you come down.

The top 105' is the thinnest. And while there are some hollow points in the stack above 900' from the ground that were never fixed during my tenure even though we pushed to get them fixed.

Unless I'm unaware of some new equipment that will go through concrete faster even though it's thicker. I believe their goal of removal this year is unrealistic.

There is a fire truck and police car - with what I saw was a car loaded up pn a tow on the 2 lanes going south (towards Copper Cliff).

I had to detour around the west end to get back onto Lorne from Douglas, Whittaker, Haig, and Edna.

Edit: I did this at approximately 6:10 pm. I don't know details because I ain't gonna looky-lou. Don't know how long it will be like whatever it is.

What is happening in our city? I was walking home from work this evening, walking past the rainbow center when one of the many drug addicts around the bus depot saw fit to start harassing me and threatening my life unprovoked. He started following me, shouting "Hey white man, hey white dude fuck you! I'm going to fucking kill you!". He kept shouting at me for about 5 minutes until I managed to walk fast enough to get out of his eyeline.

What the hell is wrong with people?

Anyway, be careful out there folks. The guy was about 5'8 and had a thin mustache and goatee and longish, greasy hair. Dirty, baggy red jacket or hoodie. Was pacing in front of the Chinese restaurant outside of the mall.

Four northern Ontario cities ranked in the top 10 for opioid deaths in 2025, with Thunder Bay leading. In response Sudbury launches a plan to reduce overdoses.

So I’ve been going down a rabbit hole of proposal photos from Banff and I’m fully obsessed. The ones where the photographer is hidden somewhere nearby and just captures the whole thing as it happens — no posing, no awkward “okay now look at each other” stuff. Just the real moment.
I want to do something like that but in Northern Ontario. We’re based in Toronto and I’ve been scouting spots around Killarney (The Crack specifically), Manitoulin Island, and the Sault / Algoma Highlands area. Open to other suggestions if you know a spot that would blow someone’s mind.
Has anyone done something like this up there? Or know a photographer who actually hikes and isn’t just doing backyard engagement shoots? Ideally someone who knows the trails, can get into position without being obvious, and is good at candid work.
Not looking for anything super formal — just someone who can capture that one moment properly without her knowing they’re there.
Any recs appreciated, DMs open too
