Actual small towns in Ontario have populations of no more than 5000. 50000 is a small city. Relative to its surroundings, Kitchener-Waterloo is a medium-large-sized city. Very few Canadian cities reach the million mark (it used to be only Toronto, but I'm pretty sure Vancouver is there now too, and maybe one or two others).

    Vancouver only has 662,248 however the Greater Vancouver Area has 2.6 million people (that area would include Surrey, Richmond, Burnady, etc). Just like how the Greater Toronto Area has Oshawa, Mississauga, Brampton included.
