Lively, Ontario

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lively is a community in the Ontario city of Greater Sudbury.

The community was established in the 1950s as a company townsite for employees of INCO's Creighton facilities. It was named for an early settler, Charles Lively.

Prior to the community's establishment, a few family farms were located in the area. The most notable of these, the Anderson Farm, is now a community museum.

From 1973 to 2000, Lively was part of the town of Walden, in the Regional Municipality of Sudbury. On January 1, 2001, the Regional Municipality was dissolved into the single-tier city of Greater Sudbury.
