The Town of Stratford is located in Queens County, Prince Edward Island, approximately 5 km away from Charlottetown and 67 km away from Summerside. Stratford is by no means a typical PEI or Atlantic Canadian community; its population is growing strongly with an influx of new residents – both new to Stratford and new immigrants to the country. Stratford is favoured by the ongoing urbanization of the Island and has exhibited robust growth since its formation in the mid-1990s.
