The Strawberry Festival continues to pursue sustainable options and welcomes the community to participate in these greening efforts. We no longer permit the use of plastic balloons and Styrofoam containers, and promote the use of reusable water bottles through our popular Water Stations. Look for these other green features at our 2024 festival: Sustainable Stouffville booth In 2023, we introduced Sustainable Stouffville – a project aimed at raising awareness and coordinating action on environmental issues in our community. Visit our booth this year to learn how this project is advancing and how you can get involved. VIEW/DOWNLOAD SUSTAINABLE STOUFFVILLE REPORT What Does sustainability mean to me?
