The City of Stratford is in the midst of determining what’s next for the former Grand Trunk Locomotive Repair Shops, known more recently as The Cooper Site.
The 18 acre property is on the cusp of Stratford’s downtown and this generational project will be integral to the City’s next 50 years.
John Kastner, former General Manager of the Stratford Perth Museum and great friend to the museum will provide a summary of THE SHOPS impact not only economically but socially.
The talk will be approximately 1 hour. It’s also an opportunity, before or after the presentation, to visit the Museum’s outstanding exhibit about the history of the Grand Trunk and CNR Locomotive Repair Shops in Stratford, Railway Century.
This will be a licensed event with snacks, and includes admission to the museum.
