Where is everyone from? Who are our Canucks?
I want to learn about where you all are from...Tell me about your city/town.
My name is Theresa and I am originally from Sudbury, Ontario. Sudbury is in North Eastern Ontario, between Sault Ste. Marie and Toronto. It is a mining town, home of Falconbridge Ltd. and INCO (International Nickel Company). It is a city of rocks and lakes...my favourite part of it is Ramsey Lake, which is a lake smack dab in the center of the city, surrounded by beautiful homes, and rocks and it is the heart of the city. In the winter everyone ski-doos on the lake, skis, skates and we have an annual festival on it called the Snowflake Festival which is a carnival and has ice scuplture contests, skating, sledding and tons of food!! In the summer everyone jet skis, sails, swims and walks around the lake (on the "Boardwalk").
Sudbury and its surrounding area has about 150 000 people and it used to be a big mining town but the industry has slowed down a lot so the city is trying to make tourism the next big industry. Sudbury is also famous for its wild blueberries (yummy) and its Blueberry Festival, great camping and hunting and fishing. It's has a lot of diversity, italians, ukranians, german, french, aboriginal people, almost every nationality you can think of. There are a few negatives to Sudbury: high incidence of alcoholism, the cold weather (summers are gorgeous though), the downtown is dead, the buses are horrible and not a lot for teenagers to do. Well, that's where I am from....tell me about where you are from!! Maybe we can interest and inform the Americans here about where we are from and they might come visit us!!!!
(and they can do the same for us, I hope!!)
