Dorchester is a major centre to the east of London in Middlesex. We have a pop. of at least 7000, we just got a major new factory, and we may soon get some other new retail developments. A new bridge is under construction to replace the 90 year old span across the Thames, we have a decent ammount of new subdivisions, and 2 401 interchanges!
Yes, Dorchester is part of Thames Centre, along with Thorndale (also a growing bedroom community). The total population of TC is around 14 000.

Yeah, the school boards lump Elgin, Middlesex, and Oxford counties together as one. Woodstock is more connected to London than it is to Kitchener.
Brantford is more connected to Hamilton (the Hamilton newspaper is found throughout town there).
They're strangely close. One day back when I first moved to Dundas I took a drive on the backroads west of Dundas and saw a bunch of new houses. I followed the streets for a bit and was surprised to have "discovered" Brantford.

Blur? They're separated by a 10 or 15 minute drive, that's all.
You can hike or bike on the rail trail between Dundas and Brantford too.
