The 2005 population and land area that were added to this article are both problematic figures, because the provided source is clearly not paying attention to the fact that the city of Greater Sudbury is not part of the Sudbury District. A 2005 population estimate of 183,543 for the district would clearly only be possible if the city were part of the district, but at the same time until we can get a sourced city-specific population estimate for the same year we could only give the district's population figure as "District in 2005" minus "City in 2001", which would clearly be a distorted figure. And for the land area, it's actually not clear whether the figure they've given is inclusive of Greater Sudbury or not; if it is, it also has to be chopped down to 38,361.
The 2006 census data should be released soon; in the meantime, please don't readd the 2005 estimates until we can source them back to the original StatsCan report that the MNDM marketing pamphlet's figures were taken from. Bearcat 08:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Quality Rating
I have assigned an initial assessment of "Start", but the article needs content; perhaps something about how the District is governed, its major industries, recreation and attractions would help. PKT (talk) 13:40, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
