Sarnia-Lambton is situated directly on major highway, rail, water and air corridors, providing efficient global access for people and products. Located on the Ontario-Michigan border, Sarnia-Lambton provides immediate access to the Great Lakes industrial corridor, and nearly half of North America’s population.

Through the North American free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), companies in Sarnia-Lambton have direct highway access to a market of nearly 400 million people.

Being in one of the most southerly parts of Canada (further south then some parts of the contiguous United States), we enjoy one of the mildest climates in all of Canada.
