Is the Sudbury Slag Pour still a thing?

Yes. It still happens, but in the interior of the pit, so you cannot view it from a public access point.

As you’ve noted, Wikivoyage says:

This was a highly popular draw all the way up until the 1990s, when
the mining company no longer publicized the location of the slag
dumps. It is now impossible to view a slag dump from a public spot due
to a green reclamation of the slag hills, and it is considered foolish
and dangerous to try and trespass onto the grounds.

Indeed, according to a geocaching site that used to go to the public spot best suited for viewing this, the actual pouring has moved as part of re-greening efforts.

However, the slag pours are still happening, and as some have shown as recently as September, it’s possible to fly over the slag pours for a photo.

Some mentions on the net appear about business tours, but evidently the company no longer gives tours.

However, you could try contacting them directly and see if there’s any chance – via the official site.
