Sudbury serves as an international hub for mining technology and research, hosting the planet's biggest clusters for mineral exploration and mining services. The city boasts two of the globe's deepest mines and serves as the corporate base for multiple multinational mining corporations. After suffering from industrial pollution for years, Sudbury has gained UN recognition for its remarkable environmental recovery efforts, now known as the Sudbury Protocol.
Today, Sudbury leads the way in environmental solutions. Laurentian University's close access to mining operations by Vale, Glencore, Kidd Creek, Hemlo, Red Lake, Goldcorp, Placer Dome, and northwestern Quebec mines, along with E.B. Eddy's extensive wood processing plants in Espanola, creates an ideal setting for researching environmental effects, management strategies, and ecosystem restoration.
