That was a fantastically well put together and researched film Doug, one of your finest historical videos to date. It's very clear you love your city.
Thank you so much Si! Appreciate you watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
I totally agree. Wonderful video, Doug!
@@jacquiblanchard3131 Thanks Jacqui! 😊
Can see the family resemblance in those photos. Very cool
Thanks for sharing many great memories! My father worked for CPR as a welder for over 25 years at the shop in Sudbury. Though I don't live in Sudbury anymore I often miss my hometown. ❤️❤️
You’re welcome Marc! Your father made a great contribution to our community. Appreciate you watching!
Great video brother! Really well put together with a fascinating narrative.
Very interesting to hear of your family's historic ties to this development project and location, Doug - building the dream with some help from the Queen! 😃🙌🙌. Have a great weekend 🙏
Thanks so much Leon! We have been fortunate to have had Royal visits here since 1939 including having Queen Elizabeth II in 1959 and 1984. Charles and Diana were here in 1991 along with William and Harry. Cool history for a mining town in Northern Ontario. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
I absolutely can’t get enough of the history from these small towns! Very interesting to hear how your family shaped the great land of yours. Awesome video my friend
Thanks so much my friend! Just proud that our family played a part in it. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻
Wow Doug, that was a very interesting story. You should be very proud of your heritage as I know you are
Thanks so much John! Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Very interesting facts about the history and lineage of the town and your family! Great job putting it all together in a quick and fascinating Video. Appreciate you sharing with us all!
Thanks so Brandon! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch my Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Well done Doug - thanks for sharing your families history and Sudbury history - Ice Ice baby!!
Ice Ice Baby for sure Rob 😂. Appreciate you watching this one Brother!! 👍🏻👊🏻
What a wonderful video: very educational, thank you..I’m can proudly say I’m from Sudbury..🥰
Thanks so much Anne-Marie! We can all be proud of our amazing history right here in Sudbury.
I remember them harvesting ice on the canal in Cornwall. Thank you for the history lesson, Doug. Stay safe and stay cool
Very cool how they used to do the ice harvesting Sean. Thanks for watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
That was pretty awesome to watch Doug. In all my 30 years in Sudbury I have never been to Queens Athletic Field. You did a great job!!
Thanks so much Vicky! Maybe this winter Marc can bring you there for a skate. 😊🤗
@@PinetreeLine yeah I’d probably break a hip. I haven’t been on skates in like 40 years or more. 😂
@@vickyleriche3800 It’s like riding a bike 😜
Hi Doug..
I found this very interesting.
Thanks for sharing your family history.
Cheers Tony 👍🍻🤓
Thanks Tony! Appreciate you talking the time to watch brother! 👍🏻👊🏻🍻
Nice to see the old footage. Proud of your roots and heritage, I have a friend who's dad was from Sudbury, I almost made it that far up north for me, earlier this year, liked the old baseball pictures, good looking stadium, have a good day, all the best.
Perhaps you will get up here in the near future my friend. Thanks so much for watching! 👍🏻👊🏻
I don't know how I missed this. Great job with great graphics! Interesting history, personalized!
Thanks so much Don! I know you appreciate your community as much as I do! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thú vị lắm bạn ơi cảm ơn chia sẻ video đẹp hay tuyệt vời cảm ơn
Thank you so much for watching my friend! 👍🏻😊
Beautiful Family history and Footage, Thanks for sharing With us,💜👍🏾
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching! 👍🏻😊
Great history lesson. I've not been to Sudbury but passed through that area on a cross-Canada drive 30 years ago this year. We wanted to avoid southern Ontario and all the bigger cities so we drove the northern route and came down by Thunder Bay before moving on to Manitoba and the west. I remember all the French communities up there and was surprised that there were store-fronts and businesses advertising in French in what I always thought was English Ontario. I am always interested in history and like that you showed vintage clips and photos including the ice-harvesting from the past. It is amazing to think that before mechanical refrigeration, ice was THE way to keep food from spoiling. Great introduction showing the huge nickel, etc. I've been to places that have HUge Axes, the world's largest hockey stick, a giant Perogie, giant Moose and more oversized landmarks deliniating the history of that particular area. Sudbury was immortilized in Stompin' Toms. "Sudbury Saturday Night"..."there'll be no talk of Inco..." I think every Canadian can sing a few bars from that song. Sudbury sounds like a great place! I love the video, Doug. Great Job!
We have been rocking the Big Nickel since 1963 lol. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and the kind words Craig. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Very interesting,many things I never heard before
But only been here for20 years. Great info Doug as always.
Thanks, wasn't sure if you were still here. Have a great day.
A little local history once I a while is good for my soul Wade. I’m still here, been a challenging couple of months. Appreciate you my Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Well done Doug. An interesting video of some of the history of Sudbury and this athletic field landmark that started out as a gravel pit. I enjoyed seeing some of the old footage and photos. Thank you my friend.
Thanks so much Dave! It was a passion project for me. Appreciate taking the time to watch! 👍🏻👊🏻
Once bought a pizza in Sudbury and ate it at the greyhound station. Good memories, haha. I think your tribute is better.
Haha thanks Smitty! Hopefully the pizza was good. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻🇨🇦
Very Interesting video! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks so much! Appreciate you taking the time to watch! 👍🏻

Thanks Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
love the History.
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching! 👍🏻👊🏻
great history and wow awesome historical film clips! thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Brother! Appreciate you watching! 👍🏻👊🏻
Fantastic story Doug about family, town and sport. Now that place has seen some great times - memorable moments that no doubt lived on in the consciousness. If there was an equivalent in Hereford it might the King George IV playing fields. Thanks for sharing. Mark
Thanks so much Mark! You understand the value of documenting local history before it is forgotten. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
@@PinetreeLine A pleasure Doug. yeah, these areas are part of our soul. Have a good week ahead bro.
I recognize a lot of the landmarks in the intro..but didn't know about the gravel pit...looks like a lot of fun in the winter type with the oval skate rink!
As you know Mattias, Sudbury is known for the landmarks at the beginning of the video but not for this historical landmark that originally brought this community together. Skating on the oval is a lot of fun even for an old guy like me 😂. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
@@PinetreeLine ovals are a blast, we have one by the school I teach at...so great to take the kids at recess, gym, etc... We have a few tracks through the bush here as well...lots of turns small hills etc..kind of a single track thing..has Sudbury started that as well? Enjoy the best time of the year, up here!
@@21Swayzee Yes we have a place here called Kivi Park and it has skating through the bush. It’s also lit so people can skate in the dark.
@@PinetreeLine that is cool, going to have to check that out!
Interesting video Doug, and well put together.
Thanks Dan! Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Well done
Thanks so much Sue! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch. 😊
Very cool vid Doug 👍 I go way back so the one thing I remember the most in the Sunbury area besides Inco was the Town House Tavern and the Sudbury Wolves hockey team and the over 20 players that went into the NHL . Sudbury is an awesome city 👍🇨🇦
Cool memories Steve! Appreciate you watching Buddy! 👍🏻👊🏻
Interesting.....I can only imagine the time it took to put this vid together......
Thanks so much SK! Yes it was a long time in the making and a passion project for me. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks for the great video my friend
Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Awesome video Doug
Thanks so much Marilyn! Appreciate you watching! 👍🏻😊
Very nicely done brother🤘😎🤘
Thanks Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻🍻
Thanks for this. Grew up in the west end and spent some good time at QAF.
You’re very welcome John. Really glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻
This is a very interesting video.
Thanks Tracy! Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Hi Doug, hope your doing well buddy, I totally understand how you connect with Sudbury,
I love history and you got that going for you, talking about sports I’m heading off to watch an Australian rules football game this evening, try and get some food before 90 thousand people get it all lol 😂,
Great video brother thank you for sharing your great town of Sudbury 👍🍻
Thanks so much Jim! That’s going to be a wild game as it is a wild sport! Hope it was fun! Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻🍻
55 👍 hi new friend here, thanks for sharing, let’s keep in touch 😄
Thanks so much my new friend! 👍🏻😊
Excellent Documentary, Bravo
Thanks so much! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch! Doug
Excellent Doug. Great to see the touchback to the great baseball days in Sudbury. I think people have a hard time envisioning Sudbury as a baseball hotbed and the history around it in the area. Always remember catching the games in Garson at Tigers(inco) field by the mine. From a fellow baseball parent to another lol. Great Job
Thanks so much Al! I know that us, being part of the baseball community, know some of the rich baseball history in Sudbury but many do not. Love Tiger field! Appreciate you watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Great job man. I LOVE to see old clippings and the like. I think we have video somewhere of when the Queen came to the dedication of the Big Nickel and I believe it as the "Majorettes" performed for her. That was in the first few years of the CORPS inception ( Sudbury's own Blue Saints Drum and Bugle CORPS). They were at that time out of Sudbury tech . I believe there is an INCO TRIANGLE article that details it. Thumbs up for sure. Sub f for sure .
Thanks so much Chris and for sharing some more history with us too! Appreciate your support!! 👍🏻Doug
Did your family bottle Wishing well drink???? If so I found a bottle at moose mountain mine. I still have it. What a wonderful video.
Thanks so much!! Appreciate you watching! I believe Wishing Well was out of London Ontario but a cool find for sure!
New subscriber and you ✅
Thank you my new friend! 👍🏻😊
The nickle is impressive
Oddly enough I’m still impressed by it all these years later. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
In what year was this done ???
Hi Frank. The video was created over the last two years and put out a couple of months ago. I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
@@PinetreeLine...On the list of credits you listed Frank Scott. Can you give me info on him and or his contribution ?? Thanks
@@FrankScott-wz1vn What I can tell you is many of pictures that were used in the video were gathered from social media historical groups and community groups. It is always unclear when using social media platforms if the pictures are actually from the owner of the picture or copied by group members and shared with said groups given that multiple people may have posted the same picture at one time or another. I gave credit in the video to anyone that appeared to be associated with any of the pictures in some way or another and in some cases more than one person or media outlet. My only intent was to further share these pictures with our community within the context of a video detailing some of the lesser known history of our great city. I apologize for any confusion.
@@PinetreeLine ......There was no problem here. I thought my father may have been tied in somehow with the softball picture used at 6:13 of the video thus the original question.
I also believe an uncle is in the picture.
