Cultural Hub

In November 2023, Greater Sudbury City Council approved plans for the development of a Cultural Hub at Tom Davies Square. This new Cultural Hub will provide residents with a convenient, central location to connect with their community and access a variety of services. It reinforces the City’s commitment to accessibility, environmental sustainability, multiculturalism, social inclusion and culture.

The construction of the Cultural Hub will involve retrofitting both 200 Brady St. and 199 Larch St. to include:

  • a new Central Library branch of the Greater Sudbury Public Library
  • a new location for the Art Gallery of Sudbury
  • a new location for the Sudbury Multicultural and Folk Arts Association
