Blueprint of Lambton County

Future Community Blueprint

What do you imagine life in Sarnia Lambton might be like in the future? 

Over the past months, this question has been used to direct visitors at JNAAG to consider how we as a community might design the future. Visitors drew representations of Sarnia-Lambton using this question as a guide. A selection of designs were then transformed to create a virtual visualization of what we as a community have drafted for our future and can be experienced below.

Over 200 Future Community Blueprint designs were submitted. Click the buttons below to view the designs submissions from our community:
