In an effort to provide citizens with a better understanding of how the City of Stratford operates, including the role of Council and administration, we held a series of interactive public information sessions in September and October.

Ian McCormack, a local government expert and author of Who’s Driving the Grader and Other Governance Questions, spent some time with interested citizens talking about the role of local government in our lives.

Mr. McCormack is a Certified Management Consultant (CMC), and has a broad range of experience including work in government, for-profit and non-profit sectors. He is also an occasional author for Canada’s local government magazine Municipal World.

He led a free four-part interactive series online through Zoom, and the slide presentations and videos of those sessions are available below.

  • SESSION ONE: Overview of City Government – what the City can and can’t do
    (held Wednesday, Sept. 15)

    Slide presentation for this session



  • SESSION TWO: Understanding Roles in the City – what the Mayor, Council, CAO and administration do
    (held Tuesday, Sept. 28)

  • SESSION THREE: Engagement in Local Government – how citizens can get involved and have a positive impact
