<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how do we dispose of thee?</p>
<p>Again this year, when it comes time for residents to take down their <em>real</em> tree, we are encouraging them to consider reuse or donate options. We have various options outlined on our website at <u><a href="http://ottawa.ca/christmastrees" data-outlook-id="d4a69e84-5484-43c3-8f96-d4e3ba7b8a42">Ottawa.ca/ChristmasTrees</a></u>, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reuse options:
<ul>
<li>Leave the evergreen in your backyard to help provide shelter for wildlife and improve your soil as it decomposes.</li>
<li>Use trimmed branches as garden stakes and supports for vegetable vines, flowers and bushes.</li>
<li>Use branches or pieces of tree trunk to make rustic garden edging.</li>
<li>Cut pieces bend and shape sticks to make tea candle bases, play dough stamps or hanging ornaments.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Donate options:
<ul>
<li>Beginning December 23, you can bring your tree to the National Capital Commission so that it can be <u><a href="https://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/blog/must-see-features-ottawa-community-winter-trails#ottawa-west-winter-trail" data-outlook-id="ca88094f-50d8-4557-b89e-d394045061f1">used along the Rideau Canal Skateway</a></u>. The drop off location will be indicated with signage on Colonel By Drive, just west of the Bronson Avenue bridge.</li>
<li>Reach out to the <u><a href="https://thebarnyardzoo.com/" data-outlook-id="18857891-6f51-4b59-941a-cd16d1fec15c">Vanderlaand Barnyard Zoo</a></u> who accept Christmas trees for their animals to enjoy.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Undecorated Christmas trees can also be placed at the curb alongside the green bin no later than 7 am on their scheduled collection day. Setting out waste before collection day during the winter increases the risk of items becoming frozen in snowbanks. Trees that are still decorated, wrapped in plastic, or frozen in snowbanks will not be collected.</p>
<p><strong>What happens to Christmas trees at the curb?</strong></p>
<p>Christmas trees placed at the curbside for collection are taken to either the City’s contracted organics processing facility or the Trail Waste Facility Landfill. They are either composted, or they are mulched and used on the landfill’s tipping face as a beneficial cover material – a regulatory requirement for the City.</p>

<p>Mon beau sapin, que puis-je faire de toi?</p>
<p>Après les fêtes de fin d’année, nous encourageons cette année encore les résidents à faire don de leur sapin de Noël naturel ou à lui donner une deuxième vie.

</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Les sapins de Noël dépouillés de leurs décorations peuvent également être déposés en bordure de rue, à côté du bac vert, au plus tard à 7 h le jour de la collecte. En hiver, le risque que les déchets gèlent dans les bancs de neige augmente si on les sort avant le jour de la collecte. Les arbres encore décorés, emballés dans du plastique ou pris dans un banc de neige ne seront pas ramassés.</p>
<p><strong>Qu’advient-il des sapins de Noël déposés en bordure de rue?</strong></p>
<p>Les sapins de Noël déposés en bordure de rue pour la collecte sont acheminés vers l’installation de traitement des déchets organiques sous contrat avec la Ville ou à la décharge du chemin Trail. Ils sont soit compostés, soit réduits en paillis, puis utilisés comme matériau de recouvrement dans la zone de déversement, conformément aux exigences réglementaires de la Ville.</p>

<p>The Stittsville Parade of Lights takes place on Saturday, <strong>December 6, 2025.</strong></p>
<p>It starts at 6:00 pm and runs along Stittsville Main Street from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer to Carleton Cathcart Street.<br />
<strong>Please note: </strong>Stittsville Main Street will close to traffic at 5:45 pm.</p>
<p>The Stittsville Village Association is the organizer of the parade. It&#8217;s an annual tradition that draws thousands of spectators to Stittsville Main Street. Each year, dozens of beautifully decorated community floats set the tone for Santa’s much-anticipated arrival at the end of the parade. Merry makers are also encouraged to stay for the lighting of Village Square Park, and to share in some hot chocolate, cookies, musical entertainment, tree lighting, and a visit with Santa immediately following the parade.</p>

<h2>6 DÉCEMBRE 2025 : Défilé des lumières de Stittsville</h2>
<p>Le Défilé des lumières de Stittsville aura lieu le samedi <strong>6 décembre 2025</strong>. Il commencera à 18 h et se déroulera sur la rue Stittsville Main, entre le magasin Brown’s Your Independent Grocer et la rue Carleton Cathcart.</p>
<p><strong>N.B. :</strong> La rue Stittsville Main sera fermée à la circulation à partir de 17 h 45.</p>
<p>Organisé par la Stittsville Village Association, le défilé est une tradition annuelle qui attire des milliers de spectatrices et spectateurs sur la rue Stittsville Main. Chaque année, des dizaines de chars magnifiquement décorés donnent le ton à l’arrivée très attendue du père Noël à la fin du défilé. Nous invitons également les personnes qui le souhaitent à rester pour admirer les lumières du parc Village Square et profiter d’un chocolat chaud, de biscuits, de prestations musicales et de la visite du père Noël immédiatement après le défilé.<br />

Les résidentes et résidents peuvent soumettre la candidature de Stittsville en se rendant sur la <a href="https://www.coca-cola.com/ca/fr">page du concours</a>. Nous pourrions ainsi recevoir 100 000 $ de Coca-Cola pour une initiative locale ou des projets d’améliorations communautaires. À Stittsville, Coca-Cola participera à l’événement communautaire des Fêtes de Brown’s Your Independent Grocer ainsi qu’au Défilé des lumières.</p>

<p>The SVA’s annual Parade of Lights is a community favourite, drawing thousands of spectators along the Stittsville Main Street parade route. Each year, dozens of beautifully decorated community floats set the tone for Santa’s much-anticipated arrival at the end of the parade. Merry makers are also encouraged to stay for the lighting of Village Square Park, and to share in some hot chocolate, cookies, musical entertainment, and a visit with Santa immediately following the parade.</p>

<p>Volunteers are needed for this year&#8217;s Parade of Lights, happening on Saturday, December 3, 2022. The parade is an annual event organized by the Stittsville Village Association.</p>
<p>Volunteers are needed to help supervise barricades along Stittsville Main Street. Individuals, families, groups, businesses, neighbours, etc. can “adopt an Intersection” to get a front row spot. For more information, please contact <a class="" title="mailto:stittsvillevillage@gmail.com" contenteditable="false" href="mailto:stittsvillevillage@gmail.com">stittsvillevillage@gmail.com</a>.</p>
<p>Organizations and businesses who want to enter a float in the parade should also contact <span class=""><a class="" title="mailto:stittsvillevillage@gmail.com" contenteditable="false" href="mailto:stittsvillevillage@gmail.com">stittsvillevillage@gmail.com</a>.</span> There&#8217;s no charge to participate but donations are encouraged.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s parade will run from approximately 6:00pm-8:00pm along Stittsville Main, starting at Brown&#8217;s Independent and ending at Village Square Park.  The SVA is organizing Christmas carols, tree-lighting, treats and Santa at the park at the conclusion of the parade. The parade was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, so we&#8217;re all looking forward to its return this year.</p>

<h2 style="font-weight: 400;">Bénévoles recherchés pour le Défilé des lumières du 3 décembre</h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Nous recherchons des bénévoles pour le Défilé des lumières qui aura lieu le samedi 3 décembre 2022. Le défilé est un événement annuel organisé par l’Association du Village de Stittsville.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On a besoin de bénévoles pour aider à surveiller les barricades le long de la rue Stittsville Main. Les particuliers, familles, groupes, entreprises, voisins et autres intéressés peuvent « adopter une intersection » de façon à être au premier rang. Pour obtenir plus de renseignements, veuillez envoyer un courriel à <a href="mailto:stittsvillevillage@gmail.com">stittsvillevillage@gmail.com</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Les organismes et les entreprises qui souhaitent avoir un char dans le Défilé sont également invités à écrire à <a href="mailto:stittsvillevillage@gmail.com">stittsvillevillage@gmail.com</a>. La participation est gratuite, mais les dons sont les bienvenus.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le défilé de cette année se déroulera de 18 h à 20 h le long de la rue Stittsville Main, commençant au magasin Brown’s Independent et se terminant au parc Village Square. L&#8217;Association du Village de Stittsville organise les chants de Noël, l&#8217;illumination de l’arbre, la distribution de gâteries et la présence du père Noël au parc à la fin du défilé. Le défilé a été annulé en 2020 et 2021 en raison de la pandémie, alors nous attendons tous avec impatience son retour cette année.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Pour obtenir plus de renseignements, veuillez envoyer un courriel à <a href="mailto:stittsvillevillage@gmail.com">stittsvillevillage@gmail.com</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we reach the end of 2020, our team wants to take this opportunity to send Season&#8217;s Greetings to you and your family. We hope you get a chance over the next couple of weeks to celebrate and spend some time with your loved ones.</p>
<p>We are so lucky to live in such a great community. We&#8217;re seeing a record number of houses decorated with Christmas lights. You&#8217;ve been making donations to local charitable organizations such as the Stittsville Food Bank and Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre.  You&#8217;ve been helping neighbours with shoveling snow or flooding a local rink.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve all come together to support each other during a very challenging year. We are all thankful for the generosity and spirit we see every day from the residents here in Stittsville.</p>
<div><em>Merry Christmas! • Happy Hannukah! • Happy Holidays!</em></div>
<div></div>
<hr />
<p>With COVID-19 still present in our City, we can expect the holidays to be a little different this year. We&#8217;d like to encourage Stittsville residents to come together and to step outside your home on Christmas Eve at 6 o’clock and ring a bell for one minute. This is something the whole family can participate in by sending a fun message to Santa that our community is COVID Wise and we are taking all precautions to keep our community safe, remaining hopeful and looking forward to Christmas Day and the New Year.  We look forward to hearing the bells ringing at 6:00p.m. on Christmas Eve!</p>
