The Heritage Stratford Advisory Committee is looking for a few good stories.

As part of its Blue Plaque program, the committee is once again looking to recognize specific Stratford properties with ties to a significant historical figure or event.

The City of Stratford’s Public Works division reminds residents that during the month of May, winter sand that has accumulated can be raked or brushed to the edge of the road or the street gutter.

You can help street sweeping operations by spreading the sand out in the gutter area.

Please do not place the sand in large piles in the gutter or along the road, as the piles can restrict water flow, and can be a traffic hazard.

The City of Stratford has been recognized by the Share the Road Cycling Coalition with an honourable mention as part of its Bicycle Friendly Communities award program.
