1. The Keith A. Culliton Dome Marker

Inscription. The dome atop this historical building is named in honour of Keith A. Culliton, who has served this community in exemplary fashion.

Through his terms as a School Board Trustee, Public Utilities Commissioner, City Councillor and Mayor, he has employed the same focus and commitment that have made him successful in business.

Known for his straightforward manner, his sense of fairness and his optimism, he has also been a Governor on the Board of the Stratford Festival and is a Paul Harris Fellow with the Stratford Rotary Club, of which he is a past President.

Born and raised on a farm in nearby North Easthope Township, Mr. Culliton has lived his adult life in Stratford, where he has been able to pursue his passion for business and politics.

On the occasion of his 75th birthday, the dome was dedicated to Mr. Culliton at a ceremony in June 2002, attended by his family and officials of The Discovery Center.

Culliton Brothers Limited is pleased to pay this tribute to Mr. Culliton. In addition to lighting the dome and the building, the company that bears his name is also committed to maintaining that illumination.
