MyStratford Portal

MyStratford is a web-based tool that makes it easier for residents to find municipal information that matters to them.

It's a secure portal that allows users to build and personalize their own unique home page with a customizable set of “widgets.” Those widgets, which are linked to our website, provide up-to-date information like public notices, news releases, forms, registrations, events and public engagement opportunities.

Visit MyStratford to create a new account.

After creating a MyStratford account, users can view information and receive notifications that are relevant to their specific neighbourhood, or to the city as a whole, based on their particular municipal interests. You can choose to see all of the widgets, or only those that interest you.
