Dartmouth, NS is like this, although it's no longer an independent city so maybe it doesn't count by some standards. But it has its own downtown, inner city, etc. I'm not overly familiar with either but I got the impression that Esquimault and parts of Gatineau (Hull?) are like this as well.

The newer and further-flung parts of Dartmouth certainly have a "typical Canadian suburb" vibe and then there's a large middle ground of streetcar suburb-ish/"NS dense small town" areas in between.
