Avon Crest, Stratford’s first public hospital is threatened with demolition

Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) owns the building and intends to demolish it by Spring 2023. They have no plans for the site.

Heritage Stratford proposed that Avon Crest be designated, under the Ontario Heritage Act. In July 2022, Stratford City Council voted 9-2 NOT to designate.
