lyrics

Home to the Ojibwe, the Crown took control as part of the Robinson Huron Treaty. CP Rail set up a temporary work camp during its westward expansion in 1883. Sudbury was established after the discovery of nickel ore.

Mining dominated the economy for over a century. The area was decimated by the practice: acid rain stained the Canadian shield and led to devastating loss of vegetation.

Inco built the superstack in 1970 to spread the damage of air pollution. Sudbury is now celebrated for its efforts to bring back the local environment to its former glory.

As of June 2020, the superstack is dormant, said to be retired and slated for demolition.
