I grew up in the small city of Sarnia, Ont. Small is relative. In Nova Scotia, where I live now, a place like Sarnia with a population of 72,000 people would never be called “small,” but in southern Ontario, where most of the population of Canada lives crowded along the border to the United States, Sarnia is small.
But really what makes Sarnia small is how it feels to be there.
