Camden

206 km²

Daily life in Camden is shaped by a landscape where most people live within easy reach of a park, but few can walk to basic services. This sprawling community has a significant First Nations population that stands out for its youth and strong economic outcomes. While the area feels open and green, the lack of nearby shops and health services means many residents rely on cars to get around. It is a place of contrasts, combining a relaxed rural feel with high achievement among its Indigenous residents.
