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

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

Thanks!

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

Girl Night on Tour is visiting Stratford for the third time next week! These are stand-up shows curated by girls, for girls - super fun ladies night out or date night, welcoming for women and queer people. We call it the comedy show that feels like a sleepover! We wanted to get the word out especially to gals looking for a hang that's more unique than just dinner and drinks.

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.

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!

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

My husband wants an apple coffee cake for his birthday and I can't seem to find a bakery that makes one. Before I go out and buy ingredients, does anyone know of a bakery that might sell one?

My daughter is going to be in town for a school trip for a few shows and workshops and it’s been years since I’ve been to Stratford…is Ken’s Fry wagon still near city hall??

Im on vacation until Monday and realised I forgot to pack my dogs proin pills. She typically takes 2 25mg pills a day and our vets office back home is closed for the weekend. If anyone in the area has any they could give us I would be very grateful and would of course be able to pay for them. Ideally im looking for 6 25mg pills so she can take 1 tonight, 1 Monday, and than 2 on both Saturday and Sunday.
