The City of Stratford, Ontario, is currently accepting applications for its 2026 Green Recognition Program until the deadline on March 15. This initiative honors local residents, businesses, and organizations that have made significant efforts toward sustainability and protecting the environment.
The program is managed by the City of Stratford Energy and Environment Advisory Committee. It focuses on several key areas, including waste reduction and diversion, energy management, green building improvements, and sustainable tourism practices.
These awards are designed to support the city’s long-term environmental goals, which include a 30 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The city also aims to reach a net-zero emission status by the year 2050.
Winners of the 2026 awards are typically celebrated during Earth Week, which takes place in April. This event provides a way for the community to see real-world examples of how to help fight climate change through everyday actions.
Any local group or individual who has completed a project involving energy conservation or waste diversion is encouraged to submit their details before the window closes this weekend.
