Did you know we have 8 little libraries?

There are 8 little libraries in Stratford, chances are good that there is one just a 10 minute walk from your home. The one pictured here is the Stratford Youth Council Little Library in the Cotton Centre.

A fun challenge this summer might be to try to visit every little library in Stratford!

Do you use Google Maps or Google Earth?

Google updated the satellite photos they use for most of Stratford recently. They new photos were taken sometime this spring. Does your house look different?

Are your property taxes too high?

I've been digging through how property taxes work, and here's something I don't think a lot of people realize.

Your property tax isn't based on what your home is worth. It's based on a separate "taxable value" that can only rise a little each year. It follows inflation, and never by more than 5%. So the longer you own your home, the further that taxable value falls behind what the home is actually worth. But the moment a home sells, the cap resets, and the new owner starts being taxed on the full, current value.

Here's a real Stratford example, the same house, worth about $500,000 today:

• Owned since 2016 → pays about $3,700/year
• Bought in 2026 → pays about $5,700/year

Same house. The only difference is how long each owner has held it. So if you've owned your home in Stratford for more than 5 years, you're very likely paying significantly less property tax than a newer owner would, even for an identical home.

I just think it's worth understanding how the system actually works.

Do you think this is fair?

Do recognize where this is?

This is Fullerton's Creek Conservation Park, Stratford's largest park!

If you want to explore this, or any of the other 30 parks I have mapped, check out the Parks / Shore Access map at www.stratfordmaps.ca

Have you heard of Sundance Park?

The 2 green parcels of land in the middle of the picture belong to the town. I have seen a couple references to this area as Sundance Park, but nothing recent.

If you are the adventuring type, there are a few trails you can explore here. There is the remains of an old bridge from when Spinnaker Drive connected to Foxwood Lane, before either of those roads were named that I think. There is also a large, overgrown concrete slab, remnants of the Wood's Poultry Farm that used to be located here.

There are 3 ways to access this area, directly off of Keppoch Road from the north, or 2 points off of Sundance Lane from the east or the south. I would recommend the eastern entrance because it is not as overgrown.

I don't have this park on my Parks & Shore access map because it is not a typical park. If those are more your style you can check them out at www.stratfordmaps.ca

Did you know Stratford is Getting a Wellness Centre?

This is just a conceptual drawing, not actual blueprints, but still exciting to look at!

o Twin ice surfaces
o Cultural, social, arts and wellness spaces
o Indoor turf space
o Library
o Indoor walking track
o Youth and community rooms
o Multi-purpose spaces
o Administrative offices
o Outdoor/green connectivity features

Lots to look forward to! And the plan is for construction to start this year!

As soon as actual blueprints are public, I will post them here.

A different perspective of Town Hall.

Look closer and you can see the new high-school being built in the background.

With the warmer weather, you can expect to see more drone pictures from me in the future.

Here is a map not many people see.

This is the Strava Global Heatmap. It shows how frequently different routes are used by walkers, runners, cyclists, and more. You can filter by the kind of transportation you want to see. The darker areas are the most used.

This can be useful to see where other people tend to go. If you want to plan a bike trip in town you can see the routes other people frequently use, and the routes they avoid. Or you could discover a walking path that your neighbours use but you didn't know about.

Check out the Strava Global Heatmap on the resources tab of my website: www.stratfordmaps.ca

Check out the Stratford Community Garden!

I was trying to get a picture of Robert Cotton Park yesterday evening, but it was too windy. This was the best of the few pictures I got. I will try again soon.

The Community Garden is one of several resources on my Community Resources map. If you know of something else that should be on this map, please let me know!

Is your rent too high?

Did you know there is a website where you can check what the monthly rent was for your apartment in the past. If your rent is significantly more than it was in the past, your landlord might be overcharging you. If you are overpaying your rent you can file a dispute and your landlord might be forced to lower your rent to the legal amount and pay you back!

If you are currently renting, or have in the past, be sure to add your information to the registry to help out future renters.

You can check out the website at: https://myoldapartment.org/

It is one of the many useful websites linked on my websites resources page: www.stratfordmaps.ca
