TALES & TRAILS: "This is the Rink Where Jack Plays"

Join us on this self-guided story trail as you read This Is The Rink Where Jack Plays written by Stella Partheniou Grasso and Illustrated By Chris Jones.

Step onto the Heritage Trails at the Stratford Perth Museum to read the awesome hockey-themed picture book and discover an activity that is the perfect combination of literacy, learning, and nature appreciation. As you follow the path, each page will invite you into Jack's energetic rink-side world, celebrating skating, friendship, and community cheer. 

This book is a perfect read aloud for hockey fans of all ages. Families can wander, read and even spot wildlife along the trail together from December 12 - April 30, 2026. 

Discover the magic of a great book while out in nature this winter on the heritage trails of the Stratford Perth Museum. Then grab one of our Wonder Passes for free admission to explore INSIDE the museum, too.
