It's a two hour drive to Ottawa so it's fairly close to a large city but not extremely close.
A place like that is an extreme outlier, though... Manitoba had the same thing in Pinawa with its AECL research facilities. Basically a town full of scientists... not really the typical scenario by any stretch.
