Join the Stratford Poppy Project!

Have you heard of the Stratford Poppy Project? It’s a beautiful community art initiative where volunteers crochet poppies to honour our veterans. For the past two years, these stunning poppies have graced the William Hutt Bridge in early November, creating a breathtaking tribute.

This year, Stratford Public Library is proud to support this incredible project by hosting workshops and providing a drop-off location for finished poppies. Over the next few months, we’ll be offering workshops to help you get started on your own crocheted poppy.

Want to join our team of poppy-making crafters?

And potentially earn volunteer hours if you're a teen?

Join us on the following dates to learn crochet skills and create poppies:

  • Thursday, June 5 (6:30 - 8:00 PM)
  • Saturday, June 7 (1:00 - 4:00 PM)
  • Thursday, June 19 (6:30 - 8:00 PM)

This program is designed for adults and teens interested in crocheting (all levels welcome). No need to register. But if you're interested in future poppy events please leave your details.
