Do you have a good story?
The Heritage Stratford Advisory Committee is looking to recognize properties with significant historical events or figures for the Blue Plaque program.
The first Blue Plaque was installed in 2014 at 46 Ontario Street to recognize inventor Thomas A Edison, with second being installed in 2019 for surgeon Dr. Robert Salter.
Here are the criteria for the Blue Plaque:
The person should be of significant public standing and understood to have made an important positive contribution to human welfare or happiness, and has made an impact or is regarded as eminent and distinguished in their profession.
They must have resided in Stratford at least 3 months, and have been deceased for at least 5 years.
For a building only, there must have been an historical event of special importance that occurred there.
A nomination form for the Blue Plaque program can be submitted online through the nomination form on our website.
Deadline for submissions is June 11. Questions can be directed to adviscom@stratford.ca
