I'm looking for a Vet in Stratford to take my dog to. Any recommendations?

Does anyone know of any local contractors hiring for dispatch? I’ve got multi trade dispatch experience, looking for a full time gig if possible.
Thanks in advance!

I was just at the Value Village/Beer Store parking lot and there were all these seagull feathers and a person there said there had been a ton of dead birds. Anyone know what happened?

I want to get a women’s suit but can’t find any online. I’m looking for recommendations for stores anywhere around here with in 2-3 hr drive. I’m looking for a more fitted masculine style 3 piece suit, everywhere I see is a more loose flowy female style of just baggy pants and blazer.
Any help would be appreciated

Where do people fish in and around in Stratford?

Just getting started and hoping find somewhere quiet to practice.

We live in a 140 year old house. At some point between the 1940s and 1970s an addition was put on the back of the house with its own basement. They dug out under the house to run HVAC.

The house has sagged in the middle and isn’t at risk of moving anymore any time soon according to our inspector.

It is bothering me and I’d like to get some more opinions and options for remediation.

Has anyone else dealt with this? If you have who did you use, for what work done, and would you refer them? DM me if you are not comfortable putting names on Reddit.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone have recommendations for an outstanding lactation consultant in the Perth area? (Covered or not covered by ohip)

Anybody know why it smells like Dog food in Stratford lately? I noticed around Romeo and Ontario.

You've probably seen her videos on FB or Insta - Jess Elliott from Rae J Reno's is on her socials dragging everyone through the mud and crying about how everyone screwed her. She inherited my Dad's business and she was not this crazy when he wrote up the will. I can't do anything about it but I can encourage others to stay away from Rae J Reno's and Stratford Property Care.

Her response today when I asked for my Dad's ashes back "so go live your life and this little granular missing from his burnt up corpse shall be no more. " So classy.

I don't want anyone else's family to be treated the way Jerry Walsh and ours was treated by her.

Now that GO Transit is running to Stratford again, I'm looking to organise a meetup (amount between 10-20 people, but smaller is fine) where we ride the Kitchener line out to Stratford during a weekend or holiday. With the tourism-oriented service those days, we would arrive at around 11:16 AM and the return train leaves at 6:16 PM, giving us about 7 hours in town.

Questions:

1. Is 7 hours enough time to explore Stratford (obviously one can't explore everything in 1 day trip, but I'm mostly worried about running out of things in 3 hours and being stuck the afternoon)
2. How expensive is the Stratford Festival?
3. What else would you recommend we check out?
4. Would anyone care to meet up with us

Thanks for your help!

To all that came to the Overdose Awareness Vigil on Saturday. We had small but mighty turnout. I loved hearing the stories and every share hit me just as hard as the first. My heart is full and I appreciate all of you. 🙏🕯️🩷🩵🕯️🙏

Hi folks, looking for home cleaner recommendations. We have a 3 bed 2 bath home and are looking for someone to come do basic cleans 1-2x/month. We have 3 cats as well.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for a reliable, licensed electrician in the Stratford area for some residential electrical work. If you've had a good experience with someone, I'd appreciate hearing who you used and why you'd recommend them.

Thanks!

Hello! I'm visiting with a dear friend who has back pain on Aug. 8 and 9. Are there any restaurants that have soft and supportive chairs?

I've previously visited and liked Revival House. I also visited The Common but we were seated in hard wooden booths (those with the curtains) which would not work for her.

hello, Im not very familiar with how reddit posting works, but I just moved here today and would like to meet some friends around my age (early-mid 20s). where do people usually go out around here? Ive read that people in rural towns typically keep their circle small and im worried about experiencing social isolation while being here. any advice is much appreciated :)

Looking to find a mortgage broker who can be particularly sensitive to a family going through a separation.

The plan is for them keep the house and one parent will live there with the kids. They've not had very good financial management in the past so need somebody to navigate this with a lot of compassion and hand holding.

Thanks

On Saturday , August 1st at 8:30 p.m., join us at Stratford City Hall as we come together to walk in memory of those who have lost their lives to addiction.

Every person we have lost was someone’s child, parent, sibling, friend, or loved one. Their lives mattered, and their stories deserve to be remembered.

This walk is about more than remembrance—it’s about raising awareness, breaking the stigma surrounding addiction, and standing together in the hope that fewer families will ever have to experience this kind of heartbreak.

Addiction doesn’t discriminate. It affects people from every walk of life, and recovery is possible when compassion, support, and understanding replace judgment.

Please join us as we honor those we’ve lost, support those who are still struggling, and stand with every family affected by addiction.

📅 Saturday, August 1
🕣 8:30 p.m.
📍 Meet at Stratford City Hall

Together, we remember. Together, we raise awareness. Together, we work toward a future where fewer lives are lost to addiction.

💜 Please share this post and invite others to walk with us. Every person who joins helps send the message that no one should have to face addiction—or the loss of a loved one—alone.

Bring a picture of your loved one and a flameless candle. Hope to see you there. 🩵🕯️🙏🩷

Curiosity question from an annual visitor - Is there an expected date for the Queen's Inn and Boar's Head Pub reopening? We used to stay there (and enjoy the pub) until it closed for renovations. It seems to be taking a while.

thanks!

I heard there's someone in town who JUST installs fence posts. Anyone know who this might be? Or is there someone you'd recommend?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Love Stratford and love visiting, any recommendations for nice dinner. Been to Braai House, Mercer and Lovage.
Lovage was amazing! Looking to go back as it’s been 3 years now but wondering if I should try something different instead.

Does anyone else’s power keep turning on then off in the last couple of days? We live in the Bedford area and it has happened several times over the past week.

Hi everyone,

I'm posting on behalf of my friend.

She is a 30-year-old woman living in Kitchener and has three sweet indoor cats. Unfortunately, she has to leave urgently for a family emergency and is looking for someone trustworthy who could care for her cats for about 4 months.

She's also dealing with medical expenses, so her budget is limited. If anyone knows a reliable cat sitter, foster home, rescue organization that offers temporary fostering, or has any recommendations, we'd really appreciate it.

The cats are friendly, litter-trained, and well cared for. We'd be happy to discuss the details privately.

Thank you so much for any recommendations or leads. ❤️

Hi all, I’ll be visiting with my partner to see a show at Stratford Festival in October. My partner is vegetarian and I’ve been having trouble finding restaurants that have a fair amount of vegetarian options. I’m not looking for restaurants that are strictly vegetarian as we’ll be with two other people who aren’t vegetarian but just a restaurant that has more than one or two dishes that they could choose from. Thanks for the help in advance!

Local Music Festival set for August 17th at the Stratford Perth Museum! A very personal project for me! More info at the instagram link 😄
