The third edition of the Welcome to Stittsville Newcomer’s Guide is available now! We’ve expanded the booklet to 36 pages, full of information on topics such as housing, healthcare, education, employment, city services, and more.
It’s designed to help people who are new to Stittsville during their first few days, weeks, and months in our community. Whether you’re moving from another country, another province, or even from another neighbourhood in Ottawa, this guide will help you get started.
You can download the booklet at glengower.ca/welcome/ or you can pick up a copy at our Stittsville ward office at CARDELREC at 1500 Shea Road. Please share with people you know who are new to the community, or moving here soon!
The booklet was written and produced by Councillor Glen’s team, and was developed based on a recommendation from the Stittsville Diversity Committee. The committee is made up of representatives from various cultural groups. The committee advises our office on community issues relating to diversity and anti-racism in Stittsville and, more broadly, in the City of Ottawa. They are also involved in developing projects and initiatives that support and celebrate newcomers and promote multiculturalism in Stittsville to enable a safe and welcoming community for everyone.
