Driving to Stratford for a day trip this weekend. Would love suggestions for making the most of it.
Looking for recommendations on must see spots, good lunch places, or any hidden gems.
Hi everyone, I work with a cat rescue based out of Tillsonburg and we are desperately seeking foster homes as our shelter is currently at max capacity, as well as every other local rescue or shelter, and we have been receiving an extraordinary amount of pleas for help every single day. It breaks our heart to have to leave these vulnerable cats outside because we simply do not have the room.
We are overflowing with kittens along with every other rescue and need help from the community to continue saving these precious kitties. Yesterday we had a member of the community bring us a mom and her 4 tiny babies. Today we have two moms with a total of 8 kittens coming in. Thankfully a foster space opened up or we would not have been able to get these sweeties out of the heat and into a safe and loving environment to raise their kittens.
Whether you are able to foster a single cat or a whole family it makes a world of a difference. All it takes is a spare room, it doesn’t have to be large, a small space can actually be beneficial for cats as large unfamiliar rooms can feel overwhelming to a nervous cat. We provide all supplies and vet care, all that’s required is your love, time, and a bit of driving (to pick up supplies and for vet appointments).
I will attach some photos of some cats and kittens from a woman who contacted us needing help, but we need foster homes to do so. Please pm me if you would like some further info or would like to see more photos of some cats in our shelter needing fosters as this also opens up space for us to help more kitties. We have some absolute cuties 😉
Hey Stratford, I'm wondering if there are any local groups that play stuff like Warhammer here in town?
Ideally a group that is old-person friendly and welcomes 50+ players who are not up to date on the current rules and miniatures...
I've been going through my stuff with the intent to sell it off but figured I'd check first if there's a chance to use them.
Thanks :)
My teen is going to be babysitting my 8 year old, while my other teen and I see a show at the Festival Theatre. What can they do together during a matinee that is near the theatre for 2-3 hours? We are staying at a hotel not walking distance to the theatre, which they may just stay at and swim, but want to see what other options there may be.
I got these tickets a few months ago and unfortunately cannot attend now. I have two tickets to Importance of Being Earnest on July 4, 8:00 pm (selling for $30) and a few tickets to Guys and Dolls on July 15, 8:00 pm (selling for $35). Let me know if you're interested!
Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I will be visiting Stratford on July 11–12 to celebrate his birthday, and we'd love some recommendations from locals.
What are your favourite places in Stratford? We love cafés and a nice restaurant for a birthday dinner.
I'm planning to get him a small birthday cake as well—he loves tiramisu and cheesecake. Does anyone have recommendations for bakeries or places that make great tiramisu or cheesecake?
Thanks so much! 😊
My bus went into limp mode at the bayfield golf course and I need it for tomorrow. The red stop check engine light came on and the bus won't go more than 8kmh. Can anyone delete the emissions on it tonight or before 10am tomorrow?
Or does anyone have a 9 passenger van they would rent for tomorrow?
Saw an unhoused/struggling lady looking for food in the trash cans when I was in line at Burger King drive through this evening. It broke my heart, no one should be subjected to doing this, especially a woman in her 50s alone. I fished out whatever bit of cash I had on me at the time and gave it to her.
My question is as follows, after that documentary about homelessness in Stratford came out, has anything been done to tackle the problem? Any responses from city officials? Looking to get input from people that would be in the know, like people who are working at programs that help, volunteers at St Paul's, or people who work with the city. Are we any closer to getting a dedicated women's and men's shelter?
Not looking for the usual trolls that blame people's circumstances on """bad choices and drugs""" or the usual "they ship them out to other cities" responses.
From indie hackers to professional devs, Stratford Dev is where imagination meets execution. Submit what you want to demo now and so I can create a schedule for the night of. Doesn't matter if its nothing fancy, if I feel like we have more than enough I'll just pick some of them. Dive into live demos, show off your code and connect with other techies. Bring your repo or your latest experiment - this is a space for showing off what you've built, sharing insights, and learning from others. Whether it's a side project or or something cool from work, it's welcome here. Bring a demo if you have it, your curiosity, and your appetite to the 3rd Rail and enjoy a night of innovation. Pizza will be available and we have a screen to for you to show off what your working on/have built.
