										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>We’re launching a new Stittsville event called <em>&#8220;Stittsville Neighbour Days&#8221;</em> to encourage residents to organize small get-togethers in their neighbourhood. </strong> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; font-size: large;">Get to know the people on your street with a potluck, a movie night, a park clean-up, or anything else that brings your street together.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>The goal:</strong> </span>Encourage new connections between neighbours, and build community spirit in Stittsville. Because strong neighbourhoods – and strong connections – are incredibly important for our overall health and well-being.</p>
<h3></h3>
<hr />
<h3><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Getting started</strong></span></h3>
<ol>
<li>Talk to a few of your neighbours on the street, and pick a date and time for your event. It can be any day between <strong>September 18-27, 2026</strong></li>
<li>Need some inspiration? See our list below of activity ideas.</li>
<li>Pick a location. (If it’s a small event in your driveway or yard, no permit is required. If you want to close a street, you will need a <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/living-ottawa/laws-licences-and-permits/planning-outdoor-special-event/event-permits-and-applications/residential-block-party-permit">residential block party permit</a>. If you’re holding an event at a local park, it’s a good idea to <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/recreation-and-parks/parks-facilities-and-rentals/rental-information/outdoor-rentals-parks-sports-fields-ball-diamonds-tennis-and-pickleball/park-rentals">obtain a rental permit</a> to reserve your spot and avoid double-booking.)</li>
<li><a href="https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=PQPM34ffbkyhuI6qc_G3Lp1ALJehXr5Pgpbgxcd5wpVURVBIRTlNQU1MOTFWWFk4UVAyNFhIVjBZTC4u"><strong>Click here to register your event.</strong></a> We’ll provide you with a lawn sign, plus design templates so you can create a flyer or poster.</li>
</ol>
<h3><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Planning your event</strong></span></h3>
<p>Sharing responsibilities can increase participation and creates more possibilities for the event. Invite neighbours to gather around a dinner table, fire pit, porch, or deck, or start a group chat. Discuss activities, responsibilities, and contributions.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Getting the word out</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Hand-delivered flyers are the most effective. Flyers should include the date, time, location, description of activities, and contact information.</li>
<li>A neighbourhood Facebook group or WhatsApp group can be a good tool for communicating about the event, but remember that not everyone has access to social media platforms.</li>
<li>Attendance may be lower than expected, especially for a first event. But don’t get discouraged &#8211; the goal is to ensure everyone feels welcome, no matter how many people take part.</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Safety considerations</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Recruit responsible neighbours to help monitor activities, especially with kids.</li>
<li>Alcoholic beverages are not permitted on roads or in parks, and must remain on private property.</li>
<li>Ensure water is available if your event is held on a hot day. Monitor weather forecasts for special advisories.</li>
<li>Have a basic first aid kit handy.</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>After the event</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Remember to take a photo of your group and send it to us for our photo collage!</li>
<li>Clean up the event area and pick up any garbage.</li>
<li>Talk to your neighbours about what went well and what could be improved for next time.</li>
<li>Start planning for Stittsville Neighbour Days in 2027!</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Dates importantes :</strong></p>
<p><strong>Fête du Canada (1</strong>er juillet) – Canadiens<br />
Le 1<sup>er</sup> juillet 1867, le Canada est devenu un dominion autonome de la Grande-Bretagne et une fédération de quatre provinces : la Nouvelle-Écosse, le Nouveau-Brunswick, l’Ontario et le Québec. L’anniversaire de cette date a été appelé fête du Dominion jusqu’en 1982. Depuis 1983, le 1<sup>er</sup> juillet est officiellement appelé fête du Canada.</p>
<p><strong>Fête de l’indépendance du Burundi (1</strong>er juillet) – Burundais<br />
La fête de l’indépendance, célébrée le 1<sup>er</sup> juillet, marque la libération du Burundi de la domination coloniale belge en 1962. Cette journée symbolise la résilience du pays et la détermination du peuple burundais dans sa quête d’autonomie. Elle rappelle l’espoir et la fierté qui ont accompagné la fin de la domination coloniale et le début d’un nouveau chapitre de l’histoire du Burundi.</p>
<p><strong>Anniversaire du martyre du Báb (10 juillet) – Bahaïsme<br />
</strong>Du jeudi 9 juillet au vendredi 10 juillet au soir, les baha’is du monde entier observeront l’anniversaire du martyre du Báb. Cette fête commémore l’exécution, en 1850, du cofondateur de la foi bahá’íe, le Báb, en Perse.</p>
<p><strong>Journée internationale des personnes non binaires (14 juillet)<br />
</strong>Cette journée vise à rendre hommage aux personnes qui s’identifient comme non binaires partout dans le monde et à célébrer la riche diversité de la communauté. Les personnes non binaires peuvent s’identifier comme un homme et une femme ou encore comme étant complètement à l’extérieur de ces catégories.</p>
<p><strong>Journée internationale Nelson Mandela (18 juillet)<br />
</strong>La Journée internationale Nelson Mandela (ou Journée Mandela) vise à honorer la contribution de Nelson Mandela, ancien président d’Afrique du Sud, en raison de ses valeurs et de son combat pour la justice sociale, par l’entremise du bénévolat et de la participation communautaire.</p>
<p><strong>Tisha Be’Av (22 et 23 juillet) – Judaïsme<br />
</strong>Tisha Be’Av est une fête juive soulignée chaque année le neuvième jour du mois d’Av. En 2026, elle commencera le 22 juillet au coucher du soleil et se poursuivra jusqu’à la tombée de la nuit le lendemain. Il s’agit d’un jour de deuil et de jeûne, car le peuple juif aurait connu de nombreux malheurs en ce jour.</p>
<p><strong>Journée de commémoration du Grand Dérangement (28 juillet)<br />
</strong>La Journée de commémoration du Grand Dérangement vise à honorer la mémoire des victimes du Grand Dérangement et à souligner leur résilience et leur persévérance, qui ont permis d’assurer la survie de la culture et du patrimoine acadiens.</p>
<p><strong>Tou BeAv (les 28 et 29 juillet) – Judaïsme</strong><br />
Tou BeAv, le 15<sup>e</sup> jour du mois hébreu d’Av, est une joyeuse fête juive mineure souvent appelée la Journée juive de l’amour. Elle commence au coucher du soleil le mardi 28 juillet et se termine à la tombée de la nuit le mercredi 29 juillet. Tou BeAv est une fête juive mineure. De nos jours, elle est célébrée en Israël comme une fête d’amour et d’affection. On dit que c’est un jour propice aux mariages.</p>
<p><strong>Asalha Puja (29 juillet) – Bouddhisme<br />
</strong>Asalha Puja, également connu sous le nom de jour du Dhamma, est l’un des festivals les plus importants du bouddhisme theravāda. Il célèbre en effet le premier sermon du Bouddha, le Sermon dans le Deer Park à Sarnath, dans lequel il a exposé à ses cinq anciens associés la doctrine qui s’est révélée à lui après son illumination.</p>

<p>A great morning for our 5th annual Stittsville Family Bike Ride!</p>
<p>We had big bikes, little bikes, mountain bikes, road bikes, electric bikes, bike trailers… and people of all ages.</p>
<p>To celebrate our 5th year we cycled 5 kilometres around Stittsville, along the Trans Canada Trail, past the weekly Market @ The Barn, past a baseball game at Alexander Grove, and through streets and pathways in Wyldewood and Amberwood. A great way to celebrate <a href="https://letsbike.ca/">Let’s Bike Month</a>, thank you to everyone who joined us!</p>

<h2>PHOTOS : Randonnée familiale à vélo de Stittsville (2026)</h2>
<p>Quelle belle matinée pour notre cinquième édition annuelle de la randonnée familiale à vélo de Stittsville!</p>
<p>Nous avons vu des vélos de toutes tailles, des vélos tout-terrain, des vélos de route, des vélos électriques, des remorques de vélos… et des personnes de tous âges.</p>
<p>Pour célébrer notre cinquième année, nous avons pédalé sur cinq kilomètres dans Stittsville; nous avons longé le Sentier transcanadien, sommes passés devant le marché hebdomadaire @ The Barn et devant un match de baseball au parc Alexander-Grove, et avons sillonné les rues et les sentiers des quartiers Wyldewood et Amberwood. Ce fut une formidable façon de souligner le <a href="https://letsbike.ca/">Mois à vélo</a>. Merci à toutes les personnes qui ont participé à cette sortie!</p>
