Winter Wonders

Best known for its annual summer festivities, Stratford is also a joy to behold and experience in wintertime

- George McDermott

After growing up in and then living in Toronto for many years, my wife Audrey and I moved to Stratford, Ont. Both cities are great but Stratford in the wintertime has a completely di‚erent look and feel than a big city like Toronto. You will find a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere here. There are many older heritage homes and buildings that were constructed in a variety of architectural styles, and when they are covered in snow during winter, it makes the city look less modern, almost as if a small town has blended together with a big city.
