Back to SearchThe City of Stratford’s Energy and Environment Advisory Committee has launched the 2026 edition of its Green Recognition Program to continue highlighting the efforts of those who are helping Stratford move towards its target of a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
The Green Recognition Program is intended to support our green leaders, promote a variety of sustainable practices, and raise awareness of how the community is working toward a net-zero future.
Submissions are being accepted from individuals, businesses, industries, and organizations in the following categories:
Waste Reduction and Diversion: Show how you have minimized waste and diverted it from the landfill, through innovative waste management practices.
Energy Management and Electrification: Tell us how you have significantly reduced your energy consumption. If you have switched from natural gas to electricity or low carbon fuel, please tell us about your energy and/or cost savings.
Green Building Award: Highlight steps you’ve taken to promote sustainability in the building stock through building envelope improvements, passive design strategies and energy efficient retrofits, adhering to green building standards beyond the Ontario Building Code. This category will include new and existing buildings in residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial building types.
Tourism: Have you made conscious efforts to make the visitor economy low-carbon? Your efforts can be anything from local food production or eliminating single-use plastic use in your premises.
Applications can be submitted through an online form available on the City of Stratford’s website at www.stratford.ca/green
The deadline for submissions is March 15, 2026.
