“What I’ve found to be one of the most appealing characteristics of urban living however, is the ability for one to observe, to engage, and to connect with other people. Downtown Sudbury is a melting pot of ideas and conversations, and by taking a simple walk to the corner store for a newspaper, I’m able to experience all of it. I couldn’t imagine wanting to live anywhere else.”

Kate Bowman,
Project Manager, Northern Ontario School of Architecture
