Stratford's first LGBTQ+ community centre serving what has been called "Canada's gayest small city".
The SPCC serves people living in Stratford and Perth County — those who are visiting/plan to visit and those who are looking for a welcoming place to move permanently.
SPCC works to advance our community as a progressive, inclusive, and welcoming place to live, work, visit, or do business.
The centre is a valuable resource for businesses and organizations wanting to learn how to be more LGBTQ-positive in their interactions with both clients/customers and staff.
Our two meeting rooms are available for booking by related organizations or individuals seeking meeting space. For information:
