Sarnia’s Population to Grow Slowly

Sarnia’s population is expected to grow slowly over the next few years, reaching nearly 79,700 by ’26, according to new Lambton County projections. While the county as a whole is forecast to rise to about 140,500 residents, Sarnia’s growth remains modest compared to nearby communities like Lambton Shores and St. Clair Township. The report highlights that past growth has been limited, and the city’s population increase is not expected to surge. City planners are advised to base future development on these steady, gradual trends.
