Stratford is proud of its continuous commitment to reduce its effects on the natural environment. Named the Best Blooming Community in Canada, with over a thousand acres of parkland, Stratford can boast the highest per capita parklands in Canada.

The Avon River, home to the world famous Stratford swans, flows through the picturesque Queen's Park. One of the frontrunners with its stringent pesticide ban and the idling ban, the City of Stratford has set lofty goals for its residents to reduce their impact on the environment.
