Northern Ontario - Communities

Communities

Northern Ontario has nine cities. In order of population (2006), they are:

  • Greater Sudbury (pop. 160,274; CMA 160,770)
  • Thunder Bay (pop. 108,359; CMA 121,596)
  • Sault Ste. Marie (pop. 75,141; CA 79,800)
  • North Bay (pop. 53,651; CA 64,043)
  • Timmins (pop. 43,165)
  • Kenora (pop. 15,348)
  • Elliot Lake (pop. 11,348)
  • Temiskaming Shores (pop. 10,732; CA 13,566)
  • Dryden (pop. 7,617)

Until the City of Greater Sudbury was created in 2001, Thunder Bay had a larger population than the old city of Sudbury, but the Regional Municipality of Sudbury was the larger Census Metropolitan Area as Sudbury had a much more populous suburban belt (including the city of Valley East, formerly the region's sixth-largest city.) However, as the former Regional Municipality of Sudbury is now governed as a single city, it is both the region's largest city and the region's largest CMA.

Famous quotes containing the word communities:

    “The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal.”
    —Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)

    “Culture is the name for what people are interested in, their thoughts, their models, the books they read and the speeches they hear, their table-talk, gossip, controversies, historical sense and scientific training, the values they appreciate, the quality of life they admire. All communities have a culture. It is the climate of their civilization.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
    —A.J. (Arthur James)
