Retirement living in Stratford

Residents have easy access to nearby full-service medical centres, naturopath, massage, and physiotherapy clinics, and the Stratford General Hospital. Both the GO Train and Via Rail service Stratford, and the town is less than a two-hour drive to Toronto.

Things to do in Stratford

One of the true gems of small-town living in Southwestern Ontario, Stratford has it all: a blend of arts and culture, outdoor amenities, shopping, dining, and entertainment attractions and activities to nourish body, mind, and soul.

Of course, the Stratford Festival is the town’s marquee event, with classic Shakespearean plays, as well as other more contemporary productions. The Festival is just the beginning: there is a new summer event, World in a Weekend, offering fun family entertainment, not to mention several food and drink festivals, and popular self-guided tours. Would you prefer the “Bacon & Ale Trail” or the “Chocolate Trail” to explore delectable destinations throughout Perth County?

Stratford is a gardener’s paradise; be sure to visit Shakespeare Gardens, featuring flora found in the bard’s plays, or Memorial Gardens, a peaceful place to relax, reflect, and enjoy. In the heart of Stratford, the Avon River is for walkers, picknickers, canoeists, kayakers and paddle-boaters, all enjoying the tranquil waters. Nature is everywhere in the town, and you’ll find the TJ Dolan and Avon Loop Trails an easy stroll to enjoy the outdoors, while the Avon Trail is more challenging.

Stratford’s downtown, with its stunning Victorian City Hall, is at the centre of a busy shopping district. Stop by Bradshaws, a Stratford institution, or the numerous specialty boutiques featuring local fashions, gifts, and handicrafts. Stratford also attracts top culinary talent, and it shows in the abundance of restaurants, bistros, gourmet coffee shops, bakeries, craft breweries, pubs, and many more businesses devoted to pleasing the palate.
