Good question!  Looks like they're hosting an "Ecotourism Conference and Trade Show" this year - see
http://www.eco-north2002eco-nord.ca/english/0010.lasso.  Carefully arranged tours, perhaps?

I just got a bass sax and I'm in need of a mouthpiece. I'd prefer an old
Buescher or Conn bass mouthpiece with the round chamber. If anybody has any
they'd like to sell or know where I could find some it would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
Andrew

Yes, the Sudbury smokestack is the world's largest, a quarter-mile tall.
For more information on the nickel-toxicity situation there, go to
