In the United States, I’d probably name Oregon City, the famous end of the Oregon Trail and the first city founded west of the Rocky Mountains during the pioneer era. Its population is only 37,000.

Dildo, Newfoundland.
Not really though.
Off the top of my head I’d say places like Gander, Churchill, Iqaluit - places known maybe for their location as much as their people and unique situations?
Banff is what I was looking for in this list (pop ~8300). Not many places in this country are ‘acting Canadian’ anymore.
Omg…i spent 4 hours in Gander one evening, so it took about 20 hours to go Dallas -> Chicago -> Gander-> Chicago.
“A week in Gander one day.”
The smallest Canadian city that I’d think most people around the world might know about is Niagara Falls, although they might only know about the falls and not know that it’s also a city.
Edit: I thought the question meant people around the world but I guess it could also mean just the people in your own country…
Man, I was struggling with this. The one I landed on is Halifax, just given its role as a port city and the story of the Halifax Explosion. But I’m having a hard time justifying that position.
There’s much smaller, even more interesting places but not much about them that’d attract international notice unless you’re visiting here or specifically curious about Canada.
Charlottetown is a good answer actually. Bigger than I thought though, 40k people.
Nope
Yellowknife has a population of 20,000. Is that considered small enough?
I’d say no in the context of the OP. That’s one of our major cities in our own way. And a territorial capital.
