What Sudbury Has to Offer
For the most up-to-date information on the city's COVID-19 response, see the official Sudbury COVID-19 page.
At the heart of Northern Ontario’s production renaissance, Sudbury is blessed with film-friendly civic policies and an abundance of resources—from urban locations to gorgeous outdoor vistas, state-of-the-art production facilities and experienced crews. Only an hour’s flight from Toronto, Sudbury has hosted dozens of major productions and is ready to welcome yours.

Urban
Sudbury's downtown includes heritage buildings and modern multi-level offices. Streets can be cheated to show almost any time period, with graffiti-covered alleys, clean sidewalks, or industrial landscapes. Unique destinations like Science North or the underground mine at Dynamic Earth offer something different, and lakes, forests and cliffs are all within a few minutes drive of virtually any downtown location. Residential homes from the turn of the century compliment neighbourhoods from the 60s, 70s and 80s, along with a some larger modern homes overlooking the boreal forest.

Winter
Sudbury experiences all four seasons, and there's never any lack of snow, which comes early and leaves late. Whether you need a snow-covered field close to your in-town locations, or want slushy urban streets, Sudbury delivers authentic Canadian winter, year after year. In town, there are several lakes, including ice skating ponds, and just outside of the city limits are snowmobile trails, quiet winter forests and frozen lakes in every direction.
