This is National AccessAbility Week, an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the ongoing efforts of those who are working to remove barriers in our community.
For the past 14 years, the City of Stratford’s Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) has presented its Accessibility Award to acknowledge one business, organization or individual in Stratford that has worked hard to make their space or service more accessible to everyone.
Nominations are now open for the 2025 award.
The AAC is looking for assistance in choosing and honouring someone locally that supports the idea that all citizens should move freely and without restriction through our city.
Nomination will be accepted until Friday, October 3, and can be submitted to adviscom@stratford.ca
Past nominees are welcome to apply again.
More information about the Accessibility Award, along with an online nomination form, is also available on our Accessibility page.
