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:

Stratford, Ontario, Canada, is a magnet for the arts-inclined traveller. Home to the world-famous Stratford Festival, the largest repertory company in North America, our beautiful small city of 34,000 full-time residents also boasts other, smaller seasonal theatre troupes, a symphony, an art gallery, outdoor summer cinema, a summer music festival, and some of the best restaurants in Canada.
