Sydney Mines (Mi'kmawi'simk: Klmuejuapskwe'katik; Scottish Gaelic: Mèinnean Shidni) is a community and former town in Cape Breton Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada. Founded in 1784 and incorporated as a town in 1889, Sydney Mines has a rich history in coal production although mining activity has now ceased.
The GMA developed some mines in the Eastern Cape Breton but mostly concentrated on the mainland part of Nova Scotia. In 1858, the GMA's monopoly was broken and many American-financed mining companies were developed in the area, particularly in Glace Bay, New Waterford, Sydney Mines and surrounding areas.

Sydney is a former city and urban community on the east coast of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada within the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.

By the early 1960s DOSCO was in a continuous slide and sought to halt its decline by shutting various poorly performing mines in the Pictou and Sydney coal fields; from 9 in 1960 to 5 in 1965. Despite shedding other money-losing subsidiaries it was still losing money and under pressure from Hawker Siddeley Canada to reduce red ink.

The first truly industrial mining operation in what is now Canada was an iron mine at Forges du Saint-Maurice near Trois-Rivières in Quebec, which remained a going concern from 1738 to 1883. [1] Copper mining in Bruce Mines, Ontario—the first industrial-scale mine of a substance other than iron—followed in 1848. [2]
In 1920, DISCO, the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Company (SCOTIA) in Sydney Mines, and the Wabana ore mine on Bell Island were acquired by the British Empire Steel Corporation (BESCO). [3] In 1930, BESCO reorganized as Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation (DOSCO). [1] Hawker Siddeley Canada purchased DOSCO in 1957. [4]
