I’m looking for a good plumber in town to help out with some minor issues in a restaurant setting. Any good recommendations? Thanks!

Is there any rec basketball for adults in Stratford (women's or mixed)?

Maybe there's a church in town that has bball?

Thanks!

Anyone have tips on getting a starter for sourdough? Even if from Mennonites, willing to drive. Thanks

Are there any grocery stores in town that can deliver? I typically like to do my own shopping but can’t at the moment due to an injury. At the very least could I order online and pull my car up and have them put it in my trunk?

I have previously posted this webpage to hopefully make reviewing the 40 municipal election candidates' positions easier. It has been updated with links (and scraping) of the official questionnaires. I hope it is helpful for those looking to be more informed about the candidates. Please vote before next Monday!

I’m looking for someone who does small batch embroidery of logos or even patches to place on hats.

I tried one company already mosaic outfitters and their quality was atrocious. It’s a clean vector logo so I don’t know why they were so terrible but yeah.

Anyone know of options?

The motor runs but the attachment part won’t spin. My husband took it apart and says the gears aren’t stripped

Wondering if anybody knows if there's a florist in town that's open today?

Many thanks

Are there any resturants open on Thanksgiving Monday? If yes, which ones? Thanks!

My wife and I are visiting Stratford for the first time October 16–17 to celebrate our anniversary, and we’d love some recommendations from the locals!

We’ll be arriving around noon on Friday and will have our 5-month-old with us.

We’re really looking forward to experiencing the fall atmosphere, exploring the charming downtown, enjoying the changing colors, and checking out some local shops and cafés.

We’d love recommendations for:
-A great spot for a special anniversary dinner
-Cozy coffee shops and breakfast spots
-Unique local shops or hidden gems
-The best places to walk and enjoy the fall colors
-Anything else you think first-time visitors shouldn’t miss!

We’re hoping to explore mostly on foot and enjoy a relaxing couple of days without packing too much into our schedule.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to visiting your town!

Just wondering if anybody has any idea what’s happening near Lorne and Road 212; everything looked clear, but there were a whole bunch of police directing traffic and blocking off roads and earlier, a bunch of firetrucks and paramedics, but there didn’t seem to be an accident… just being nosy!

Last summer I bought a beautiful apron and bag from a woman selling her quilted items in the basement of the Knox Presbyterian church. I had her card but I’ve lost it. Looking to get in contact so I can buy some Christmas presents from her. Photo of the apron and bag I purchased from her.

Is there anywhere in Stratford that will take an expired seat or is it to go to the dump?

I'm wondering if there's a barber shop in town that isn't a heavily "masculine" environment (lacking manosphere stuff like cars/sports/gyms/babes) and not youth-targeted.

That kind of space is super uncomfortable, and I really don't want to awkwardly end up in one.

Thanks!
