Sudbury District, Ontario (582 words) |
 | A district in Ontario is a division which is similar to a county, but which does not have its own level of government. |
 | Districts are found in Northern Ontario, which is much more sparsely populated than the southern portion of the province, and hence districts do not have the population base to provide county-level services (roads, etc.) on their own. |
 | The Sudbury District is served by Trans-Canada Highways 17, which leads from the community of Walford (Sables-Spanish Rivers) in the west to the community of Warren (Markstay-Warren) in the east, and 69, which enters the district at French River and exits at the southern boundary of Greater Sudbury. |
