										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit </em></p>
<p>From the youngest helpers to entire groups, Stittsville residents are showing what it means to care for our community. Do like Levi Dias (4yo) and Arthur Monteiro (3yo), who joined family and friends at the Cleanup Day in W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park. Or follow the example of Sebastiao Sala, who brought his family together for a cleanup along Harmattan Avenue and Maple Grove Road, focusing on sidewalks and sideroads — a meaningful way to give back to the neighbourhood they are proud to call home. Or take inspiration from the Stittsville Maple Colony Beavers, who rolled up their sleeves to clean Wyldwood Park, and by the Amberwood Village Recreation Association, whose members came together to refresh Paul Lindsay Park — a true reflection of community spirit in action.</p>
<p>Now it’s your turn! Registration for Fall Cleaning the Capital 2025 is open until tomorrow, September 30, and cleanup projects can be completed until October 15.</p>
<p>How to Participate: Choose your spot — parks, green spaces, roadsides, shorelines, or bus stops — and use the interactive map to avoid duplicate registrations. Pick up your kit with gloves and garbage bags, available until October 12 at participating City facilities (bring your registration code). Show your impact by sending photos to <em>Glen.Gower@ottawa.ca</em> and submitting your cleanup report by October 31.</p>
<p>High school students: Cleaning the Capital is also a flexible and rewarding way to earn volunteer hours while making a difference in your community.</p>
<p>Let’s keep Stittsville clean and green — register your project today at <a href="http://ottawa.ca/clean">ottawa.ca/clean</a>.</p>

<h2>L’inspiration est partout autour de nous — à vous de jouer!</h2>
<p>Des plus jeunes bénévoles aux groupes tout entiers, les résidents de Stittsville démontrent ce que signifie prendre soin de notre communauté. Faites comme Levi Dias (4 ans) et Arthur Monteiro (3 ans) qui se sont joints à leur famille et à leurs amis lors de la journée de nettoyage au Parc de la paix du Rotary Club WJ-Bell. Ou suivez l’exemple de Sebastiao Sala qui a réuni sa famille pour nettoyer l’avenue Harmattan et le chemin Maple Grove, en se concentrant sur les trottoirs et les routes secondaires. Il s’agit là d’une merveilleuse façon de redonner au quartier où ils sont fiers de résider. Ou encore, inspirez-vous de la colonie de castors Maple de Stittsville qui a retroussé ses manches pour nettoyer le parc Wyldwood; de l’Amberwood Village Recreation Association, dont les membres se sont réunis pour revitaliser le parc Paul Lindsay. Il s’agit là d’un véritable exemple de l’esprit communautaire en action.</p>
<p>À vous de jouer! L’inscription au Grand ménage de la capitale de l’automne 2025 est ouverte jusqu’à demain, le 30 septembre. Les projets de nettoyage peuvent être réalisés jusqu’au 15 octobre.</p>
<p>Comment participer : Choisissez votre emplacement (parcs, espaces verts, routes, berges ou arrêts d’autobus) et consultez la carte interactive pour éviter les inscriptions en double. Passez à l’une des installations municipales participantes d’ici le 12 octobre pour récupérer votre trousse contenant des gants et des sacs à ordures (apportez votre code d’inscription). Affichez votre contribution en transmettant quelques photos à l’adresse <em>Glen.Gower@ottawa.ca</em> et en soumettant votre rapport de nettoyage au plus tard le 31 octobre.</p>
<p>Élèves du secondaire : Le Grand ménage de la capitale constitue également un moyen flexible et gratifiant d’accumuler des heures de bénévolat tout en contribuant à améliorer votre communauté.</p>
<p>Gardons Stittsville propre et verte — inscrivez votre projet dès aujourd’hui en visitant <a href="http://ottawa.ca/menage">ottawa.ca/menage</a>.</p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">On Saturday, September 20, Stittsville joined a global movement. As millions of people in over 180 countries marked World Cleanup Day 2025, our community welcomed the United Nations to W.J. Bell Rotary Peace Park.</span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Guests included Anacláudia Rosbach, UN-Habitat Under‑Secretary‑General and Executive Director, Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe, Councillor Tim Tierney, Chair of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, Member of Parliament for Carleton Bruce Fanjoy, members of Councillor Glen Gower’s team, Margus Rava, Ambassador of Estonia to Canada, and representatives of the Rotary Club of Ottawa–Stittsville, co‑organizers of the event. Alongside them were dozens of local volunteers from our community ready to clean up with gloves and garbage bags in hand.</span></p>

Only days after opening UN-Habitat’s office in Montreal, she connected Stittsville’s local action to the global mission: “From this place, from Stittsville, from Ottawa, from Canada, we join hands to ensure World Habitat Day is observed.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335572079&quot;:6,&quot;335572080&quot;:1,&quot;335572081&quot;:0,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;single&quot;}"> </span></p>

Every year, 92 million tons of textiles are discarded — enough to fill a garbage truck every second.

In 2025, more than 21 million people answered that call. Here in Stittsville, every bag filled, and every volunteer’s effort brought us closer to that vision, proving once again why our community has led Ottawa’s Cleaning the Capital campaign for three consecutive years.  </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335572079&quot;:6,&quot;335572080&quot;:1,&quot;335572081&quot;:0,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;single&quot;}"> </span></p>

<p>Le samedi 20 septembre, Stittsville a rejoint un mouvement mondial. Alors que des millions de personnes dans plus de 180 pays célébraient la Journée mondiale du nettoyage de 2025, notre communauté a accueilli les Nations Unies au Parc de la paix du Rotary Club WJ-Bell.</p>
<p>Les invités comprenaient Anacláudia Rosbach, sous-secrétaire générale et directrice générale d’ONU-Habitat, le maire d’Ottawa Mark Sutcliffe, le conseiller Tim Tierney, président du Comité de l’infrastructure et des travaux publics, le député de Carleton Bruce Fanjoy, des membres de l’équipe du conseiller Glen Gower, Margus Rava, ambassadrice de l’Estonie au Canada, ainsi que des représentants du Rotary Club d’Ottawa–Stittsville, coorganisateurs de l’événement. À leurs côtés, des dizaines de bénévoles locaux de notre communauté étaient prêts à nettoyer, gants et sacs à ordures en main.</p>
<p>Le maire Sutcliffe nous a rappelé pourquoi cette tradition est importante, notant que plus de 1,5 million de bénévoles ont participé au Grand ménage de la capitale depuis 1994. « Nous avons la grande chance de vivre dans une communauté où les gens se soucient de notre ville et sont prêts à donner de leur temps. »</p>
<p>Pour la directrice exécutive d’ONU-Habitat, Anacláudia Rosbach, ce fut plus qu’un simple nettoyage. Quelques jours seulement après l’ouverture du bureau d’ONU-Habitat à Montréal, elle a relié l’action locale de Stittsville à la mission mondiale : « De cet endroit, de Stittsville, d’Ottawa, du Canada, nous unissons nos forces pour que la Journée mondiale de l’habitat soit observée. »</p>
<p>Le thème de cette année – « Lutter contre les déchets textiles et de mode par la mode circulaire » – met en lumière l’une des menaces environnementales à la croissance la plus rapide. Chaque année, 92 millions de tonnes de textiles sont jetées – assez pour remplir un camion à ordures chaque seconde. Moins de 15 % sont recyclées; le reste est brûlé ou enterré.</p>
<p>La Journée mondiale du nettoyage porte aussi un objectif mondial ambitieux : le défi « Viser cinq » –  mobiliser seulement 5 % de la population mondiale comme point de bascule pour opérer un véritable changement. En 2025, plus de 21 millions de personnes ont répondu à cet appel. Ici à Stittsville, chaque sac rempli et chaque effort bénévole nous a rapprochés de cette vision, prouvant une fois de plus pourquoi notre communauté a mené la campagne Grand ménage de la capitale pendant trois années consécutives.</p>
<p>Samedi, le Parc de la paix du Rotary Club, qui abrite un labyrinthe et une promenade commémorative construits il y a dix ans pour inspirer la paix et la réflexion, est devenu un lieu où le dévouement local a rencontré le leadership mondial – pour rappeler que durabilité et paix sont profondément liées.</p>

<hr />
<p><strong>Puis-je, seul ou en groupe (p. ex. avec ma famille), nettoyer un parc, une route ou notre propriété?</strong></p>
<p>En raison de la pandémie actuelle de COVID-19, vous ne pouvez pas vous adonner à des travaux de nettoyage hors des limites de votre propriété. Nous recommandons aux résidents de rester à la maison et de restreindre toutes les activités non essentielles à l’extérieur de leur maison et des limites de leur propriété. Vous comprendrez que cette décision a été difficile à prendre pour la Ville d’Ottawa qui, en temps normal, est toujours très reconnaissante de toute l’aide que les membres de la collectivité peuvent lui apporter dans le cadre de ces travaux de nettoyage. N’oubliez pas que tous les parcs sont fermés et que les résidents ne sont autorisés qu’à les traverser tout en respectant les mesures d’éloignement physique exigées.</p>
<p>Si vous-mêmes ou des membres de votre foyer souhaitez entreprendre des travaux de nettoyage sur votre propre propriété, veuillez respecter les directives et les mesures connexes suivantes qui sont prescrites par la loi.</p>
<ul>
<li>Les résidents sont invités à rester à la maison et à limiter leurs interactions physiques aux seuls membres de leur foyer.</li>
<li>Seuls les rassemblements d’au plus cinq personnes à un seul endroit sont autorisés.</li>
<li>Les gens qui ont voyagé récemment ou qui sont malades doivent s’isoler en restant à l’intérieur de leur maison et en évitant de participer à des activités extérieures où ils risqueraient d’entrer en contact avec d’autres personnes, comme des voisins.</li>
<li>Éloignement physique : il est recommandé de maintenir une distance de deux mètres (six pieds) entre vous et les gens qui vous entourent en tout temps. Cela inclut les autres personnes qui peuvent passer devant votre maison et vos voisins qui pourraient se trouver sur leur propriété.</li>
<li>Si vous vivez dans une habitation à logements multiples, il est recommandé de NE PAS participer à des activités de nettoyage extérieur, à moins que vous puissiez vous assurer qu’une distance de deux mètres (six pieds) peut être maintenue en TOUT temps.</li>
<li>Il est recommandé aux personnes de plus de 70 ans de s’isoler et de ne pas participer à des activités de nettoyage en plein air.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Veuillez également prendre les précautions ci-dessous lors du nettoyage.</p>
<ul>
<li>Restez sur votre propriété en tout temps.</li>
<li>N’invitez pas d’autres personnes en dehors des membres de votre foyer à participer à l’activité de nettoyage.</li>
<li>Protégez vos mains au moyen d’équipements de protection (p. ex. gants ou sacs en plastique).</li>
<li>Utilisez une pince ramasse-débris si vous le pouvez pour éviter de toucher aux ordures avec les mains.</li>
<li>Jetez les ordures dans des sacs en plastique que vous attacherez lorsqu’ils seront remplis.</li>
<li>Déposez les sacs à ordures remplis avec vos autres déchets ménagers le jour de la collecte.</li>
<li>Ne touchez jamais à votre visage pendant le nettoyage.</li>
<li>Lavez-vous les mains immédiatement après le nettoyage.</li>
<li>Ne touchez jamais aux seringues que vous pourriez trouver avec les mains. Suivez les consignes de manipulation sans danger pour les ramasser ou composez le 311 (ATS : 613-580-2401) pour obtenir de l’aide.</li>
</ul>
<p>Nous vous remercions de votre intérêt à garder votre collectivité propre, verte et sans déchets. Continuez à rester à la maison et portez-vous bien.</p>
