Stratford Branch

Our Stratford Branch formed in 1954 (2 years before Provincial).

We welcome all women in this area who have worked in education for any length of time in or outside of Ontario. Stratford Branch members attend from as far east as New Hamburg to Goderich in the west, and from St Marys in the south to Milverton in the north.

In 2026, Stratford Branch remains a very active branch with a focus on Caring, Sharing and having Fun. Members enjoy 3 meetings a year, monthly luncheons and a wide variety of activities. In addition, a wide variety of interest groups meet regularly, that strive to meet the interests of our membership and encourage new ideas.
