City Profiles > Sudbury Home 
Sudbury, Ontario Sudbury is a largely bilingual city located in Northern Ontario. It is the only city in Ontario with two official names: Greater Sudbury, and Grand-Sudbury (French). With a 2006 population of 157,857, about 30% of the population is Franco-Ontarian. There is a greater proportion of francophones in Sudbury than the general population of any city in Ontario. However, Sudbury has been experiencing a slight decline in population during recent years. In 2001, the population was 155,219—a drop from 2001 population of 165,336. This is mainly due to young ‘Sudburians’ moving to other parts of Canada, especially southern Ontario.
Sudbury has two major tourist attraction that reflect the city's mining heritage: Science North, and Dynamic Earth. Dynamic Earth is also home to the Big Nickel (pictured above) which is one of the city's most famous landmarks. Sudbury is sometimes referred to as "Nickel City" or "the Mining Capital of Canada" because of its nickel and copper mines known as the Sudbury Basin.

As of June 23, 2008, your REALTOR® will have to ask for identification, as in picture I.D. In June 2007, the federal government approved amendments to regulations under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering)and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA). The amendments, which come into effect on June 23, 2008, are designed to broaden the scope of record keeping and reporting requirements. This means that real estate salespersons and brokers will have new obligations under the PCMLTFA.
Requirements as of June 23, 2008 will include a receipt of funds record for all transactions regardless of the amount of funds received (unless funds are received from a financial entity or public body). In addition, a client identification record will be required to be completed with respect to every purchase and sale regardless of the existence of a cash deposit. Salespersons and brokers will be required to verify and record the identification of each client involved in a particular sale.
The Ontario Government has set the rent increase guideline at 1.8% for 2009.
