Economy Of Greater Sudbury
The economy of Greater Sudbury, Ontario was dominated by the mining industry for much of the city's history.

Many of these industries reflect the city's position as a regional service centre for Northeastern Ontario.
The city's economy and politics have also been strongly influenced by a history of labour unionism.
