I originally hail from Sudbury,
Ontario, which is a mid-size (100K) city located in Northern
Ontario.
Sudbury's claim to fame of late is their re-greening project, which has
made the city somewhat less barren, vegetation-wise. Many of the
original
white pines were cut down to help rebuild Chicago
(you know, that place with the big fire a while back), and many more
were
killed by sulphur dioxide pollution emanating from the nickel-producing
industry Sudbury is based on. Hence, the need to re-vegetate the many
barren
areas. Sudbury also boasts large Italian, Finnish and Hungarian
communities.
I have been known to play bass guitar in a band called Blenderhead,
which played loud, fast, and poorly. The performing side of me comes
from
an interest in campus
and community radio, and indie music in general. Visit
my favorite radio station!
