Wallaceburg suffered many job losses and the closure of many businessess in the past 10-15 years. Things seem to have stabilized somewhat.
Wallaceburg has always had a repuation as a rough town. It's always been a blue collar town and culturally may be closer to a small Michigan town than many Canadian towns. Hunting, fishing, country music, and anything with a motor in it are popular. I would advise you take a good visit and see if it's your cup of tea or not.
On the positive side, it is quiet and the cost of living is very low. It is very close to Detroit for sports, concerts, shows, etc. The natural surroundings are unique, with some of the richest farmland in Canada, excellent fishing and lots of opportunity for boating and watersports. Winters are among the least severe in Canada and summers are long, hot and humid (by Canadian standards).
Here are my other Wallaceburg photos:
