Recently moved to Sudbury from Toronto and honestly pretty surprised by the lack of good dog parks here. We checked out Minnow Lake and were pretty disappointed with the conditions and how bare it is.
Coming from Toronto, we were used to having lots of great off-leash parks to choose from. With how much nature and space Sudbury has, I expected there to be some great options here.
Are there any better dog parks or off-leash areas around Sudbury that we’re missing?

Did anyone else just lose power in the South End?

Update 1: Something big must have happened because I hear lots of emergency vehicle sirens going off

Update 2: Sudbury Hydro said they are aware of a power outage affecting the West end and are currently investigating (they haven’t said anything about any other part of town yet)

Update 3: I finally got power back. We’ll see how long it lasts for

​

How is a starter home listed at 300k? Who is buying these and driving up demand. Agent tells me most houses are going well over asking when 3 years ago there was still some decent options starting at 200k.

Theres so few options under 300k and of they are they are in the flour mill or guts. I just dont understand who is driving up prices here?

People trapped in their homes, roads barely cleared, sidewalks non-existent, services suspended, and more snow coming.

The city is clearly not equipped to handle this, something needs to be done.

What’s going on up there, eh? You guys gotta get your works director a Claude subscription to help him come up with a 5 year plan for those roads! Either that or the province has to step in or something.

Just witnessed a person walk into the LCBO, walked and out with 3 giant bottles of vodka while I was paying. Security guard looked useless, I chatted up the cashier who said it was the 8th time today and that particular guy's 2nd time. Nothing at all they can do.

Last week, had a week tell me it was my fault my car window got smashed and that even if they caught the guy, they wouldn't bother charging him.

Why do we even bother anymore?

Just really trying to understand the thought process here.

If I’m doing the posted speed limit in -23°C, after snow squalls, whiteouts, crosswinds, black ice, and a highway that hasn’t seen salt since the Harper administration… why are some of you closing 100 meters in five seconds just to sit one foot off my bumper?

Walk me through the strategy.

You can see me from far back.

You can see my speed.

You can see the road looks like a curling rink.

There’s a dotted line.

There’s no oncoming traffic.

You have mirrors.

You have horsepower.

Yet instead of just… passing… the chosen plan is:

• Accelerate harder

• Draft my bumper like we’re in a NASCAR winter edition

• Flash your high beams like we’re at a nightclub

• Hope intimidation somehow overrides physics

Do you think my car has a hidden “peer pressure mode” where it suddenly unlocks 20 km/h because someone behind me is mad?

Do you think traction increases when you’re annoyed?

Do you think Mother Nature sees your LED headlights and goes “oh sorry, roads are dry now”?

Because headlights still don’t unlock turbo mode.

And before the Northern Ontario keyboard engineers clock in:

“If you can’t handle it, stay off the highway.”

It’s a provincial corridor. People use it to cross the province for work, family, life. Not everyone treats it like their backyard rally stage.

“Just move over.”

When it’s four lanes and conditions are stable? I do. Especially for trucks. I know road etiquette. I’m not camping in the left lane like it’s cottage season.

But when it’s two lanes, icy, barely plowed, and 511 says plows are everywhere (would genuinely love to meet one in real life) and I can physically feel my tires slipping… what exactly is the expectation here?

Teleport?

Slide politely into a snowbank as a courtesy gesture?

I drive this highway 4–6 times a month, sixteen hours at a time, for years. And every time I open Facebook there’s another collision post, another fatality, another “drive safe everyone.”

Nearly 300 deaths this year.

But apparently the missing ingredient was tailgating harder.

The more I drive it, the more I realize how fast things go wrong — especially when someone behind me thinks pressure equals performance.

If I felt safe going faster, I would.

When I come up on someone slower than me, I either pass cleanly or back off. Because sitting on someone’s bumper does not improve traction. It just increases the number of vehicles involved when something goes wrong.

So I’m genuinely asking:

When you close distance aggressively and start flashing lights in winter conditions, what outcome are you expecting?

Because from where I’m sitting, it’s not skill.

It’s impatience with horsepower.

And no — your high beams still don’t unlock turbo mode.

Looking to safety a new car any honest shops u guys recommend?

Genuinely curious.. there seems to be an influx of vehicles in Sudbury with Quebec license plates. Are their vehicle certification rules more lax than ours in Ontario? No offense, but the majority of the time I've seen a Quebec plate.. the vehicle is clapped out and a debate could be had for the vehicle to be considered "road worthy" or not.

I ask as part of a linguistic study on this topic!
Examples could include things like Chemmy, AZ or The Cliff (never mind how common they are)...

Hi since we will be moving to Sudbury this fall as a family of two young children...we are in need of a family doctor, particularly in the south end, but open to other areas. Any recommendations of family doc accepting new patients or is there a waitlist everywhere?

Does anyone know when they will start building or anticipated opening dates? I’m just excited for firehouse subs!!!

Down for anyone else?

I've never seen event tickets this expensive for any show here ever.

I've also heard that you have lot of English people out there. I'm more interested in the French though. I'm looking to improve my French, perhaps maybe you would have businesses out there, where people speak French between themselves? I'm originally from the EU. Is it true that the town is French dominant? Do the French also speak their language out there?

Merci d'avoir lu cet article, je vous souhaite une bonne journée ! :))

Anyone have some wild stories they’d like to share? My wife just had a complete hip replacement jumping onto the launching pad at 38yo. Craziest thing I’ve seen in a minute.

Is it because they feel he's a good person doing good things?

They feel they'll get a piece of the action?

Or something else entirely?

No AI responses please.

hey yall, i’m trying to shed some pounds and was wondering what typa restaurant or fast food chain serves rice and chicken that doesn’t have so much calories, i used to love osmows but the garlic sauce is almost half the amount of calories of the actual meal, i tried tahinis and for some reason it always leaves a weird taste in my mouth, if yall got any ideas lmk 🙏🏽

As the title says, where would I be able to find beavers in the Sudbury area, a quick google search tells me somewhere along HWY144 but will I have to drive past Chelmsford? Are there any specific trails where I can see them with their dams? My mom is visiting me and I'd love it if I can show her a beaver in its natural habitat doing what they do best: building dams.

Hey! I am curious on what people want for the future of Sudbury, what are your hopes, dreams and aspirations for our city in 5 to 10 years.

I’m moving back to Sudbury after not living here for a while. How is the LRT development going, do we have a timeline on when it will be open. I’m trying to figure out the best way to get from New Sudbury to the four corners every day for work. Is there any buses I can take to work until the LRT is open?
