City staff continues to work closely with Huron Perth Public Health and other community partners.  In a press release, the City says the COVID-19 situation is rapidly evolving and town officials are constantly assessing and reassessing their response.

Extra precautionary measures have been taken to limit the spread of the virus in the community:

Effective Monday, March 16, all City of Stratford recreational facilities will be closed. That includes:
• Rotary Complex (ice rinks, walking track, meeting rooms)
• Burnside Agriplex
• Dufferin Arena

The annual Swan Parade scheduled for Sunday, April 5 has been cancelled. The swans will be moved from their winter quarters to Lake Victoria by City staff at an appropriate time.
