Growing Sarnia
For years, Sarnia has been known for its reliance on the petrochemical industry. But like many places in Ontario, it's grappling with a slowdown in its major industry, and stagnating population growth. The city is working hard to change these challenging factors. The Agenda visits Sarnia to discuss solutions to these issues.

A popular local fashion show is going to the dogs – and that’s not a bad thing.
Unleashed is a fundraiser for the Sarnia Humane Society that’s returning July 8 following a multi-year hiatus.
“In the past, we always just focused on the fashion side of things,” said organizer Trista Lowe. “But this year we want to implement the animal side of it, and being outdoors we can do that.”
The licensed show will be on the lawn beside Stoke’s Bay and feature a 100-foot runway on which models and shelter dogs will strut their stuff.
It will begin with a standard fashion show followed by a procession of the classy canines, all of them available for adoption, Lowe said.
“We’re anticipating a large influx of dogs in the weeks leading up to the event, and those dogs will be featured in our fashion show.”
Two-legged models will showcase wardrobes of all types, including offerings from local shops, while the canines will take the stage fresh from a groomer that operates out of the Exmouth Street shelter.
Previous shows attracted about 800 people and Lowe expects at least that many again this summer. The event is unique in that it’s the only city fashion show in which all proceeds benefit a local non-profit.
“In the past, Unleashed has raised $10,000 and this year we hope we can double that,” she said.
Following the show, an after party and DJ will carry the 18-plus crowd into the night.

Sarnia Lambton History Rocks - 1996 Blue Water Bridge Second Span
The Bluewater Bridge was originally built with two lanes for vehicles, and sidewalks for passengers on foot; the sidewalks were later removed to make way for a three lane expansion. Construction on the first bridge was completed in 1938. Prior to the twinning project, the customs and toll collection booths on both the Canadian and U.S. sides were extensively reconfigured in the early 1990s. This entailed the demolition of the original booths which had been used on the Canadian side since 1938. In 1992, bridge authorities determined that traffic on the bridge had exceeded its rated capacity, and thus the idea to add a second span in order to accommodate a higher volume of traffic was hatched.
In 1994-1995 public discussions over the form of the second span yielded five possible designs, with over half the public favoring a duplicate of the first bridge. The Blue Water Bridge Authority rejected the design due to the duplicate bridge creating a false sense of history. The continuous-tied arch design was chosen because it blended well with the original span yet stood out on its own, and had lower maintenance costs. However the continuous-tied arch lacked public support and engineers struggled to make the two bridges compliment each other. They overcame the challenge by using concrete piers and steel tower supporting the anchor span, rather than using the traditional concrete tower, to better ease the difficult transition between the approach, anchor and main spans. To make the main span of the bridge attractive, engineers settled on the low arch design, to match the old bridge while merging the traffic deck with the bottom supporting steel for the portion of the bridge suspended over the water.
The twinning project was a combined effort between U.S. engineers, Modjeski & Masters and Canadian engineers, Buckland & Taylor Ltd. Due to the two country’s manufacturing differences, the U.S. engineers used six beams for each segment for the approaches while the Canadians used three box girders per segment. Despite these distinctions, the differing approach spans are identical from the side view.
In June 1995, pile driving had begun and by February 1996 the aerial steel work was underway. The final piece of steel was lowered into place on November 1996, linking the centre span together 160 feet above the St. Clair River. At the top of the centre span, both bridges are 125 feet apart.
The second three-lane bridge, south of the first bridge, opened on July 22, 1997.
WHERE DO INDIANS LIVE IN CANADA?
India is, without a doubt, one of the marvels of the 21st century from an economic standpoint, especially when viewed in the context of where it was just a century ago. In 1917, India was still part of the British Empire, same as Canada. For hundreds of years, India had been under British control, and had served as the crown jewel for the Eastern portion of the Empire in many ways, a great many of which did not, in turn, benefit the local Indians all that much. Even following the incredible success of the immortal Mahatma Gandhi’s revolutionary non-violent form of protest which in turn let to, well, a revolution, there were doubts about whether or not a nation with such a massive population and internal strife could even feed itself, let alone compete.
And here we are, in 2017, when the question isn’t if India can compete with Canada, the US, the UK, and the rest of the West, but, indeed, how those nations can keep up with the massive manufacturing boom that’s occurring in India. To be clear, not all the manufacturing jobs in the region benefit the overall economy rather than Western interests, but that’s a story for another day. Today, we’re focusing on what happens after just about any nation undergoes the sort of radical transformation India has in the last century—immigration and emigration. The forces of change have led many to leave India as foreign businesses have arrived.
So, what are the best locations for Indian nationals looking to immigrate to Canada? Let’s take a look.
First of all, it should be noted that even the term “Indian-Canadian” is something of a misnomer. India is such a huge and vast subcontinent and country that there are a litany of different ethnicities, languages, cultures, religions and traditions within that overarching umbrella term of “Indian.” That being said, the Canadian government largely tags these groups as all being “Indian-Canadian,” and in any case, no matter what Indian culture you belong to, you’re sure to find a community waiting for you in Toronto. One of the most immigrant-friendly cities in North America, more than half of the entire Indian-Canadian population resides in Toronto. It is home to a wide variety of different Indian cultures, meaning that you have a good chance of finding fellow Indian nationals who more closely fit your own linguistic, cultural, and religious background, rather than merely immigrating somewhere with the semi-helpful moniker of “Indian-Canadian” to guide you.
As English-speaking Canada’s most world-renowned city, Toronto is home to not just the majority of the nation’s Indian-Canadian population—and all the subcultures therein—but likewise has some of the largest and most important Indian structures in the nation. The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Toronto is the nation’s largest Hindu Temple, while the Ontario Khalsa Darbar is Canada's largest Sikh gurdwara.
Vancouver is one of the most popular North American immigration locales, period. This is especially true of individuals looking to immigrate to the Pacific Northwest, Canada, or both.
Vancouver is home to a large Punjabi and Sikh minority. This is notable, as the latter in particular has had difficulty assimilating into American and Canadian society. Hindus are also welcome in Vancouver. Festivals, temples, and large-scale public celebrations of all different forms of Indian heritage and culture are present in the crown jewel of British Columbia. The nearby town of Abbotsford is home to the Gur Sikh Temple. Constructed in 1911, it is the oldest Sikh temple in North America.
One of the many reasons the Pacific Northwest has sprung to life over the past few decades has been its booming computer and tech industries, both of which are likewise huge in India as well. As such, if you’re looking to immigrate to the Pacific Northwest for business opportunities in these fields but do not wish to move to a larger city such as Vancouver or Seattle in the United States, you may want to try Surrey, a smaller but Indian-friendly locale also located in British Columbia.
Surrey is especially welcoming to Indian Sikhs, with as much as 16.3% of the population reporting as such, an impressive number anywhere in North America, especially in the Great White North. April 13th is given over to the celebration of Vaisakhi, an important festival for both Sikhs and the Punjab region of India as a whole, and one which historically commemorates the start of the harvest while carrying strong religious undertones for those of practising Sikhism. In 2008, as many as 100,000 attended. As such, if you’re a Sikh looking to immigrate to the Pacific Northwest for a fresh start or to take advantage of the booming tech sector, Surrey may prove to be a terrific fit.
