SHOP

There’s no shortage of solid places in Sarnia that support and sell locally made items, and @riverbankandco is my favourite! @commemoiboutique has chic women’s apparel and Urban Escape Inc has Hamptons-esque home decor.

I stayed at the @theinsigniahotel (it’s pet-friendly) which is an elegant Tribute Portfolio Hotel downtown. The hotel has a tropical pool, infrared saunas, fitness centre, cocktail lounge, Italian/ French restaurant and more.
