										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Photo: Hartin House in 2012, when it was still being used as a home.)</p>
<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>The Built Heritage Committee will meet on September 15 to consider designating the historic Hartin farmstead buildings in Stittsville’s Fairwinds community under Part IV of the <em>Ontario Heritage Act</em>. The two buildings—the Patrick Hartin House and a smaller &#8220;stone cottage&#8221;—are within the recently completed Mattamy development at <a href="https://glengower.ca/tag/1837-maple-grove/">1837 Maple Grove Road.</a></p>
<p>The Patrick Hartin House dates back to the late nineteenth century. It’s described by the City’s Heritage Planning Branch as a Gothic revival style farmhouse with rustic stone construction, cross-gable roofline, and decorative masonry and woodwork.</p>
<p>The stone cottage is a more modest building constructed 40 years earlier, around 1840. Located around the corner (now at the address of 756 Kinstead Private), the building is similarly considered typical of its style, location, and era due to its simple form, pitched gable, and construction method. It&#8217;s also notable for being one of the few buildings in the area that survived the Great Fire of 1870.</p>
<p>Both buildings remained in the Hartin family for 170 years. They are considered “stone cousins” to other local heritage buildings constructed in the 1800s—though only few survive today, such as the David Hartin house at 10 Cedarow Court.</p>
<p>City staff recommend designating these buildings due to their design value, historic value, and contextual value to the community. Both the Patrick Hartin House and the stone cottage were previously listed on the City’s Heritage Register. Designation would protect these generations-old buildings for future residents of Stittsville.</p>
<p>Here are Councillor Glen&#8217;s comments to the staff report:</p>
<blockquote><p>I’m glad to see staff’s recommendation to designate the Hartin house and cottage under<br />
Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. This is one of only a few stone buildings remaining<br />
in Stittsville from the late 19th century, including nearby Boyd House, Patrick Hartin<br />
House (JASK Salon + Day Spa), and Kemp Tavern (Cabotto’s Restaurant). The cottage<br />
is notable as one of the very few west end buildings that pre-date the Great Fire of<br />
1870.<br />
I also want to recognize the care and diligence that the new owners have put into<br />
renovations of the main building over the past year, as they are preparing to open the<br />
Stonehouse Café &amp; Lounge. The restored building will be a special and unique part of<br />
the Fairwinds community for decades to come, and a lasting link to the rural and<br />
agricultural heritage of Huntley and Goulbourn townships.</p></blockquote>

<h2>Désignation patrimoniale recommandée pour les bâtiments historiques Hartin du chemin Maple Grove</h2>
<p>(Photo : La maison Hartin en 2012, alors qu’elle servait encore de résidence.)</p>
<p>Le Comité du patrimoine bâti se réunira le 15 septembre afin d’étudier la désignation des bâtiments historiques de la ferme Hartin, situés dans le secteur Fairwinds à Stittsville, en vertu de la partie IV de la <em>Loi sur le patrimoine de l’Ontario</em>. Les deux bâtiments, soit la maison Patrick Hartin et un « cottage de pierre » plus modeste, se trouvent sur le terrain du récent projet d’aménagement de Mattamy au <a href="https://glengower.ca/tag/1837-maple-grove/">1837, chemin Maple Grove</a> (en anglais seulement).</p>
<p>La maison Patrick Hartin remonte à la fin du 19<sup>e</sup> siècle. La Direction de la planification du patrimoine de la Ville la décrit comme une maison de ferme de style néogothique en maçonnerie de pierre rustique, dotée d’un toit à pignons croisés ainsi que de maçonnerie et de boiseries décoratives.</p>
<p>Le cottage de pierre est un bâtiment plus modeste construit 40 ans plus tôt, vers 1840. Situé au coin de la rue (maintenant au 756, place Kinstead), ce bâtiment est également considéré comme représentatif de son style, de son emplacement et de son époque en raison de sa forme simple, de son toit à pignon en pente et de son mode de construction. Il se distingue aussi par le fait qu’il s’agit de l’un des rares bâtiments de la région à avoir survécu au grand incendie de 1870.</p>
<p>Les deux bâtiments sont restés au sein de la famille Hartin pendant 170 ans. Ils sont considérés comme des « cousins de pierre » d’autres bâtiments patrimoniaux locaux construits au 19<sup>e</sup> siècle, bien que très peu subsistent aujourd’hui, comme la maison David Hartin au 10, cour Cedarow.</p>
<p>Le personnel de la Ville recommande de désigner ces bâtiments en raison de leur valeur sur le plan de la conception, historique et contextuelle pour la communauté. La maison Patrick Hartin et le cottage de pierre étaient toutes deux déjà inscrites au Registre du patrimoine de la Ville. La désignation permettrait de protéger ces bâtiments centenaires pour les futurs résidents de Stittsville.</p>
<p>Voici les commentaires du conseiller Glen concernant le rapport du personnel :</p>
<blockquote><p>Je suis heureux de constater que le personnel recommande de désigner la maison et le cottage de pierre Hartin en vertu de la partie IV de la <em>Loi sur le patrimoine de l’Ontario</em>. Il s’agit de l’un des rares bâtiments en pierre datant de la fin du 19<sup>e</sup> siècle qui subsistent à Stittsville, avec la maison Boyd située à proximité, la maison Patrick Hartin (JASK Salon + Day Spa) et la Kemp’s Tavern (restaurant Cabotto’s). Le cottage de pierre<br />
se démarque comme l’un des très rares bâtiments de l’ouest de la ville qui ont survécu au grand incendie de<br />
1870.<br />
Je tiens également à souligner le soin et la diligence dont les nouveaux propriétaires ont fait preuve dans<br />
les travaux de rénovation du bâtiment principal au cours de la dernière année, alors qu’ils se préparent à ouvrir le Stonehouse Café &amp; Lounge. Ce bâtiment restauré sera un élément spécial et unique de la communauté de Fairwinds pour les décennies à venir, ainsi qu’un lien durable avec le patrimoine rural et<br />
agricole des cantons de Huntley et de Goulbourn.</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>The Built Heritage Committee today approved the <a class="ext" href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=ae5d4b52-7f0c-4bb7-9799-07a82ad773f1&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=19&amp;Tab=attachments" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink=""><span dir="ltr" lang="EN-US">Rideau Canal Cultural Landscape Study</span></a>, developed jointly by the City, the National Capital Commission (NCC) and Parks Canada.</p>
<p>The Study establishes a shared understanding of the area&#8217;s cultural heritage value and provides a framework to guide its conservation and management.</p>
<p>The Study assessed an 8.2-kilometre section of the Rideau Canal extending from the Ottawa Locks to the north end of Mooney’s Bay. Protecting the area surrounding the Canal is important because the Rideau Canal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a National Historic Site of Canada and a Canadian Heritage River. The City has long recognized the Canal’s heritage value through its Official Plan, which includes policies to protect its unique character.</p>
<p>The Study:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identifies the area&#8217;s heritage value as a cultural landscape of international, national capital and local significance</li>
<li>Provides guidance for planning, reporting, project development, programs and development review within the study area</li>
<li>Strengthens collaboration among the three partner organizations</li>
</ul>
<p>The City will consider the following areas for potential Heritage Conservation Districts (HCDs) to help protect their heritage character:</p>
<ul>
<li>Properties on and near Queen Elizabeth Drive from Somerset Street to the Queensway Bridge</li>
<li>Properties on and near Queen Elizabeth Drive from Pretoria Avenue to the Bronson Bridge</li>
<li>Properties on Echo Drive and Colonel By Drive from Hawthorne Avenue to Bronson Avenue</li>
<li>Properties overlooking Commissioners Park (exact boundaries to be determined)</li>
</ul>
<p>Council has already endorsed an HCD Study for properties on both sides of the Canal. The Golden Triangle HCD will include properties along Queen Elizabeth Driveway. The remaining areas are identified in the Heritage Planning Branch’s work plan for future consideration.</p>
<h3>Committee approves heritage designation for 701 Montréal Road</h3>
<p>The Committee approved a <a class="ext" href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=ae5d4b52-7f0c-4bb7-9799-07a82ad773f1&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=8&amp;Tab=attachments" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink=""><span dir="ltr" lang="EN-US">heritage designation for 701 Montréal Road</span></a>. The one-and-one-half-storey limestone house, built around 1875, meets four of the nine criteria for designation.</p>
<p>The property is adjacent to l’Hôpital Montfort. It began as a farmhouse in Gloucester Township. Pioneer families owned and operated the property for several generations before it was acquired by the Filles de la Sagesse (Daughters of Wisdom), a Roman Catholic congregation founded in 16th-century France.</p>
<p>The Daughters of Wisdom established and operated the St-Louis Marie de Montfort Hospital at this location, known today as Hôpital Montfort. For 73 years, from 1952 to 2025, the stone house played an important and evolving role in hospital operations. It housed members of the Daughters of Wisdom who served at the hospital, as well as nursing students, clergy and hospital staff.</p>
<p>As one of only seven remaining stone buildings in the area, it is a rare example of Montréal Road’s historic architecture.</p>
<h3>New Heritage Conservation District for the Golden Triangle</h3>
<p>The Committee also approved the proposed <a class="ext" href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=ae5d4b52-7f0c-4bb7-9799-07a82ad773f1&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=16&amp;Tab=attachments" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink=""><span dir="ltr" lang="EN-US">Heritage Conservation District (HCD) for the Golden Triangle</span></a> area, including an HCD Plan under Part V of the <em>Ontario Heritage Act</em> to help conserve heritage resources and guide future change. This will be Ottawa’s first new HCD since 2020.</p>
<p>The neighbourhood is located in the eastern portion of Centretown, generally between Elgin Street and the west bank of the Rideau Canal. Most homes were built between the 1870s and 1930s.</p>
<p>The area includes a variety of building types and architectural styles, from large detached homes to more modest front-gable, semi-detached and row houses. The HCD is intended to recognize and conserve the area&#8217;s distinct history, character and sense of place while helping manage future change.</p>
<p>Provincial rules require that at least 25 per cent of properties within HCDs adopted after January 1, 2023 meet two or more of the nine heritage criteria outlined in the <em>Ontario Heritage Act</em>. In the proposed Golden Triangle HCD, 75 per cent of properties meet two or more criteria, with most meeting three or more.</p>

<p><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">Cette étude permet d’avoir une compréhension commune de la valeur patrimoniale culturelle de la région et pose une structure cadre de conservation et de gestion.</span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">L’étude portait sur un tronçon de 8,2 kilomètres du canal Rideau, soit des écluses d’Ottawa jusqu’à l’extrémité nord de la baie Mooneys. Il est important de protéger le canal et ses environs, car le canal Rideau est un site du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, est un lieu historique national du Canada et une rivière du patrimoine canadien. La valeur patrimoniale du canal est depuis longtemps reconnue dans le Plan officiel d’Ottawa, qui comprend des mesures visant à préserver son caractère unique.</span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">L’étude :</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">recense les valeurs patrimoniales du secteur en tant que paysage culturel d’importance internationale, capitale et locale;</span></li>

<ul>
<li><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">biens-fonds donnant sur la promenade de la Reine-Elizabeth et proches de cette promenade, entre la rue Somerset et le pont du Queensway (ou pont de l’autoroute 417);</span></li>
<li><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">biens-fonds donnant sur la promenade de la Reine-Elizabeth et proches de cette promenade, entre l’avenue Pretoria et le pont Bronson;</span></li>
<li><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">biens-fonds donnant sur la promenade Echo et sur la promenade du Colonel-By, entre l’avenue Hawthorne et l’avenue Bronson;</span></li>
<li><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">biens-fonds surplombant le parc des Commissaires (périmètre exact à préciser).</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">Le Conseil municipal a déjà approuvé l’étude sur les DCP et sur les biens-fonds de part et d’autre du canal. Le district de conservation du patrimoine du Triangle d’or englobera des biens-fonds donnant sur la promenade de la Reine-Elizabeth. Les autres secteurs sont répertoriés dans le plan de travail de la Direction de la planification du patrimoine, en vue d’un examen ultérieur.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit </em></p>
<p><em>Janet Stavinga was the final Mayor of Goulbourn Township before amalgamation, and the first City Councillor for Stittsville in the new City of Ottawa. These are the memories that she shared at the <a href="https://glengower.ca/community/photos-celebrating-25-years-at-cardelrec-goulbourn-goulbourn-recreation-complex/">CARDELREC–Goulbourn 25th Anniversary celebration</a> on November 25, 2025.</em></p>
<p>“Goulbourn Township is spending like drunken sailors.”</p>
<p>“Sports Palace approval flawed.”</p>
<p>“A swimming pool is a luxury we can not afford.”</p>
<p>These were some of the headlines in the fall of 1999.</p>
<p>The years 1997–2000 were challenging yet exciting for Goulbourn Township and Council. Our community—especially Stittsville—was growing rapidly, and we were tasked with delivering major projects: the Stittsville Public Library, Fire Station 81, the Abbott and Iber Road extensions to support our Business Park, and new recreational services.</p>
<p>At the same time, we prepared to expand Goulbourn Hydro beyond Richmond through acquiring Hydro One assets—an effort by the Goulbourn Hydro Commission championed by Chair John Curry.</p>
<p>This period also coincided with the movement towards major municipal restructuring. In August 1999, Minister Steve Gilchrist announced a process that would drastically reform municipal government for specific regions, including Ottawa-Carleton. Ultimately, this process would lead to the amalgamated City of Ottawa.</p>
<p>However, the story of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex began many years before. In 1991, through the vision of the former Mayor Anton Wytenburg, his Council, and Goulbourn Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, a Recreation Master Plan was commissioned. This report set the stage for an arena and indoor aquatic facility.</p>
<p>Between 1995 – 1997, under Mayor Paul Bradley, Council began the implementation of these plans, including the completion of a User Needs Study and determining where best to locate a proposed recreational facility. Ultimately, we selected the Abbott Street West site, securing a conditional offer and a partnership with the Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board to co-locate a new high school.</p>
<p>Discussions for the Goulbourn Recreation Complex further evolved with a new Council in 1997. The project was advanced with a strong focus on fiscal responsibility.</p>
<p>We acquired the land in fall 1998—preserving 19 acres of cedar forest, now known as Kemp Woods—some months after the conclusion of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing.</p>
<p>Council held numerous community forums to discuss this proposed initiative, while also exploring avenues to finance this project through private-public partnerships.</p>
<p>Ultimately, Council chose a municipally funded facility as the best value. Community groups, including the Recreation Advisory Committee, Richmond Munster Minor Hockey, Residents for a Pool in Goulbourn, Goulbourn Minor Soccer, amongst many others, helped shape the design and construction phases.</p>
<p>Nearly a decade after the original Recreation Master Plan, we broke ground on November 20, 1999.</p>
<p>Working with the Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board, we shared resources to reduce land and servicing costs. Infrastructure was installed to support future expansion, including a second ice pad and multi-purpose space.</p>
<p>Council also approved the reconstruction and 5 km extension of Shea Road to connect the communities of Richmond, Munster and Ashton to our new facility.</p>
<p>We also gratefully accepted an in-kind donation from Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited for the construction of the parking lot to serve the sports fields.</p>
<p>Just over a year later, we celebrated the opening of Phase 1 of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on November 25, 2000.</p>
<p>Phase 1 of the Complex featured an NHL-sized sledge-hockey–accessible rink, an Olympic-sized six lane training pool with a play pool and hydrotherapy areas, and new outdoor sports fields.</p>
<p>Phase 2—a multi-purpose space and second ice pad—was later built by the City of Ottawa under Councillor Shad Qadri and Mayor Jim Watson.</p>
<p>Over time, our two ice pads and our gymnasium were dedicated to local sports heroes including:</p>
<p>Matt Bradley in recognition of his excellence in hockey in 2013.</p>
<p>Erica Wiebe, after winning the 2016 Olympic gold for wrestling in Rio.</p>
<p>Katie Xu and Jack Fan, ambassadors for the special needs community, in the sport of figure skating, in 2018.</p>
<p>These plaques can be viewed along with the revived Stittsville Sports Hall of Fame resurrected in 2024 by my former colleague, Councillor Allan Ryan, Bob Mills, our former Parks and Recreation Director, and a dedicated selection committee, with plaques honouring Stittsville’s greatest athletes, coaches, and officials.</p>
<p>In the foyer, check out the names of the many recipients of the Stittsville Volunteer Awards, which began in 1990 under the leadership of Mayor Anton Wytenburg, with the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year and then expanded by future Goulbourn Councils. These awards continued under the leadership of former Councillor Qadri and now Councillor Gower</p>
<p>I extend my deep appreciation to the final Goulbourn Township Council  (1997–2000)—Louise Beggs, Mike Bryan, Stephen Lewis, and the late Dwayne Barkley.</p>
<p>Your voices around the Council table during those challenging years always reflected the interests of your constituents, including holding space for the diversity of views – not always an easy task. You always looked to the future – beyond election cycles.</p>
<p>Dwayne’s advocacy, in particular, ensured our rink accommodated sledge hockey.</p>
<p>As a Council, we were equally grateful for the dedication of our municipal team: Solicitor Jim McInich, Planning and Economic Development Director Danny Page, Recreation Director Bob Mills and his staff, and the late Bob Townend, our Chief Administrative Officer, whose exceptional financial acumen made all of these community investments possible.</p>
<p>Through the collective efforts of Council, staff, volunteers, and residents, we built a facility that strengthens physical and mental well-being and serves as a vital social and cultural gathering place. Twenty-five years on, this facility continues to bring our community together – to connect us, to celebrate our diversity, to build relationships, and to grow together.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all—this 25th anniversary celebration is yours.</p>

<hr />
<h2>STAVINGA : L’histoire du Complexe récréatif Goulbourn</h2>
<p><em>Janet Stavinga a été la dernière mairesse du canton de Goulbourn avant sa fusion, et la première conseillère municipale de Stittsville, dans la nouvelle ville d’Ottawa. Voici les souvenirs qu’elle a racontés à l’occasion du </em><a href="https://glengower.ca/community/photos-celebrating-25-years-at-cardelrec-goulbourn-goulbourn-recreation-complex/">25<sup>e</sup> anniversaire du Complexe récréatif CARDELREC – Goulbourn</a><em>, le 25 novembre 2025.</em></p>
<p>« Le canton de Goulbourn jette l’argent par les fenêtres. »</p>
<p>« L’approbation du palais des sports contestée. »</p>
<p>« Une piscine est un luxe que nous ne pouvons pas nous permettre. »</p>
<p>Voici quelques-uns des grands titres publiés à l’automne 1999.</p>
<p>La période de 1997 à 2000 a présenté beaucoup de défis, mais aussi beaucoup de possibilités au canton de Goulbourn et au Conseil. Notre communauté – en particulier Stittsville – connaissait alors une croissance rapide, et nous devions livrer de grands projets : la bibliothèque publique de Stittsville, la caserne de pompiers 81, le prolongement de la rue Abbott et du chemin Iber pour soutenir le parc d’affaires, et les nouveaux services récréatifs.</p>
<p>À la même époque, nous nous préparions à prolonger les lignes de transport de l’électricité de Goulbourn au-delà de Richmond grâce à l’acquisition d’immobilisations d’Hydro One – une initiative de la Goulbourn Hydro Commission menée par le président John Curry.</p>
<p>Cette période coïncidait aussi avec un mouvement en faveur d’une restructuration municipale majeure. En août 1999, le ministre Steve Gilchrist annonçait un processus qui entraînerait des réformes majeures dans les municipalités de certaines régions, notamment Ottawa-Carleton, et qui déboucherait sur la création de la Ville fusionnée d’Ottawa.</p>
<p>L’histoire du Complexe récréatif Goulbourn remonte cependant à plusieurs années plus tôt. En 1991, un plan directeur des infrastructures a été commandé pour concrétiser la vision de l’ancien maire Anton Wytenburg, de son Conseil et du Comité consultatif sur les parcs et les loisirs de Goulbourn. C’est ce rapport qui a jeté les bases de la construction d’un aréna et d’infrastructures aquatiques intérieures.</p>
<p>Entre 1995 et 1997, sous le maire Paul Bradley, le Conseil a commencé la mise en œuvre de ces plans, ce qui nécessitait une étude des besoins des utilisateurs et la recherche du meilleur emplacement pour l’installation récréative proposée. Nous avons finalement opté pour le site de la rue Abbott Ouest et conclu une offre conditionnelle ainsi qu’un partenariat avec l’Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board pour l’aménagement conjoint d’une nouvelle école secondaire.</p>
<p>Les discussions entourant le Complexe récréatif Goulbourn ont évolué avec la création d’un nouveau Conseil en 1997. Le projet a progressé avec une priorisation de la responsabilité financière.</p>
<p>Nous avons acquis le terrain – et préservé une forêt de cèdres de 19 acres, qui est maintenant connue sous le nom de boisé Kemp – à l’automne 1998, quelques mois après la conclusion d’une audience de la Commission des affaires municipales de l’Ontario.</p>
<p>Le Conseil a organisé de nombreux forums communautaires pour discuter de l’initiative proposée et exploré des possibilités de financement public-privé avant de déterminer que le modèle d’infrastructure financée par la Ville conviendrait le mieux. Des groupes communautaires, dont le Comité consultatif sur les loisirs, l’Association de hockey mineur de Richmond Munster, le groupe « Residents for a Pool in Goulbourn » et la ligue de soccer mineur de Goulbourn, ont contribué aux phases de conception et de construction. Les travaux ont débuté le 20 novembre 1999, près d’une décennie après la publication du plan directeur original.</p>
<p>En collaboration avec l’Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board, nous avons partagé les ressources afin de réduire les coûts fonciers et les coûts de viabilisation. L’infrastructure a été installée pour permettre une expansion future, qui comprendrait une deuxième patinoire et un espace polyvalent.</p>
<p>Le Conseil a également approuvé la reconstruction et le prolongement de 5 km du chemin Shea afin de relier les communautés de Richmond, Munster et Ashton à notre nouvelle infrastructure.</p>
<p>Nous avons aussi accepté avec gratitude un don en nature de Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited pour la construction du parc de stationnement jouxtant le terrain de sport.</p>
<p>Un an et des poussières après, le 25 novembre 2000, nous avons célébré l’inauguration de la phase 1 du Complexe récréatif Goulbourn, qui comprenait une patinoire aux dimensions réglementaires de la LNH adaptée à la pratique du hockey sur luge, une piscine d’entraînement aux dimensions olympiques comptant six couloirs, une piscine récréative et des zones d’hydrothérapie, et de nouveaux terrains de sport extérieurs.</p>
<p>La phase 2 – l’espace polyvalent et la deuxième patinoire – a ensuite été réalisée par la Ville d’Ottawa sous l’égide du conseiller Shad Qadri et du maire Jim Watson.</p>
<p>Au fil du temps, nos deux patinoires et notre gymnase ont été dédiés à des figures marquantes locales, notamment :</p>
<p>Matt Bradley, en reconnaissance de ses talents en hockey (2013).</p>
<p>Erica Wiebe, médaillée d’or en lutte aux Jeux olympiques de Rio (2016).</p>
<p>Katie Xu et Jack Fan, ambassadeurs des personnes ayant des besoins particuliers pour le patinage artistique (2018).</p>
<p>Ces plaques, de même que celles des plus grands athlètes, entraîneurs et agents de Stittsville, sont exposées au Temple de la renommée du sport de Stittsville. Ce centre est rené de ses cendres en 2024 grâce à mon ancien collègue, le conseiller Allan Ryan, à Bob Mills, ancien directeur des Parcs et des Loisirs, et à un comité de sélection dévoué.</p>
<p>Dans le hall, vous pouvez aussi voir les noms des nombreux lauréats et lauréates des Prix de reconnaissance des bénévoles de Stittsville, une initiative lancée en 1990 sous le maire Anton Wytenburg, avec le Prix commémoratif Roger Griffiths du résident de l’année, puis élargie par les futurs conseils de Goulbourn. Ces prix ont continué d’être remis sous l’égide de l’ancien conseiller Qadri, et maintenant du conseiller Gower.</p>
<p>J’aimerais remercier du fond du cœur le dernier Conseil du canton de Goulbourn (1997–2000) : Louise Beggs, Mike Bryan, Stephen Lewis et le regretté Dwayne Barkley.</p>
<p>Vos voix à la table du Conseil durant ces années difficiles ont toujours défendu les intérêts de vos électrices et électeurs et tenu compte de la diversité des points de vue, ce qui n’est pas toujours facile. Vous avez toujours regardé vers l’avenir, au-delà des cycles électoraux.</p>
<p>Ce sont les revendications de Dwayne, en particulier, qui ont fait en sorte que notre patinoire puisse accueillir le hockey sur luge. Le Conseil tient également à remercier notre équipe municipale pour son dévouement : Jim McInich, l’avocat général de la Ville; Danny Page, le directeur de la Planification et du Développement économique; Bob Mills, le directeur, Parcs et loisirs, ainsi que son équipe; et le regretté Bob Townend, notre directeur général, dont le sens aiguisé des affaires a permis la réalisation de tous ces investissements communautaires.</p>
<p>Grâce aux efforts du Conseil, du personnel, des bénévoles et de la population, nous avons bâti un complexe qui améliore le bien-être physique et mental, et qui constitue un lieu de rassemblement social et culturel vital. Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, il continue de rassembler notre communauté, qui peut s’y réunir, célébrer sa diversité, nouer des liens et grandir collectivement.</p>
<p>Félicitations à vous tous – ces célébrations sont pour vous!</p>

<p>On November 25, 2025 we marked the 25<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of the opening of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, now known as CARDELREC–Goulbourn.</p>
<p>Town Crier Daniel Richer Dit Laflêche opened the ceremony with a proclamation, as he did in 2000 for the official opening ceremonies. We were joined by Janet Stavinga, the final Mayor of Goulbourn Township, and the first City Councillor for Stittsville (the ward was then known as Goulbourn Ward) in the amalgamated City of Ottawa, along with her former council colleague Louise Beggs. Janet spoke about <a href="https://glengower.ca/community/stavinga-the-story-of-goulbourn-recreation-complex/">the history of the building and the hurdles they had to overcome</a> to get the facility built.</p>
<p>Guests included Bob Mills, Director of Recreation for Goulbourn Township, current staff from CARDELREC-Goulbourn and the City Parks &amp; Recreation department, former Goulbourn township staff, and many volunteers and community leaders who were part of the planning and construction of the building a quarter-century ago.</p>
<p>Every day, people from all over the city of all ages and backgrounds visit the facility for recreation, programming, community meetings, and social activities. Thank goodness we have CARDELREC-Goulbourn as part of Stittsville, I can’t imagine the community without it. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in its creation and ongoing operation.</p>
<p>A special thank you to Brittney Check and the staff from CARDELREC-Goulbourn; Catherine Musgrove from my office; and everyone who shared memories and memorabilia. A special thanks to Sandra MacDowell who dropped by our office in October with a commemorative towel from the grand opening, and alerted us to this important milestone!</p>

<h2>PHOTOS : Célébration des 25 ans de CARDELREC-Goulbourn (Complexe récréatif de Goulbourn)</h2>
<p>Le 25 novembre 2025, nous avons célébré le 25<sup>e</sup> anniversaire de l’ouverture du Complexe récréatif de Goulbourn, maintenant connu sous le nom de CARDELREC-Goulbourn.</p>
<p>Le crieur public Daniel Richer dit Laflêche a ouvert la cérémonie par une proclamation, comme il l’avait fait en 2000 pour les cérémonies d’inauguration. Janet Stavinga, dernière mairesse du canton de Goulbourn et première conseillère municipale de Stittsville dans la ville fusionnée d’Ottawa, ainsi que son ancienne collègue Louise Beggs, se sont jointes à nous. Janet a parlé de <a href="https://glengower.ca/community/stavinga-the-story-of-goulbourn-recreation-complex/">l’histoire du bâtiment et des obstacles qu’ils ont dû surmonter</a> en vue de la construction de l’installation.</p>
<p>Parmi les invités figuraient Bob Mills, directeur des loisirs du canton de Goulbourn, le personnel actuel de CARDELREC-Goulbourn et de Parcs et Loisirs de la Ville, d’anciens employés du canton de Goulbourn, ainsi que de nombreux bénévoles et dirigeants de la communauté qui ont participé à la planification et à la construction du bâtiment il y a un quart de siècle.</p>
<p>Chaque jour, des résidents des quatre coins de la ville, de tous âges et de tous horizons se rendent à l’installation pour prendre part à des activités récréatives, des programmes, des réunions communautaires et des activités sociales. Heureusement que CARDELREC-Goulbourn fait partie de Stittsville, car je ne peux pas imaginer cette communauté sans cette installation. Merci à toutes les personnes qui ont participé à sa création et à son exploitation.</p>
<p>Je remercie tout particulièrement Brittney Check et le personnel de CARDELREC-Goulbourn, Catherine Musgrove, membre de mon Bureau, ainsi que tous ceux qui ont partagé leurs souvenirs. Je tiens également à remercier Sandra McDowell, qui est passée à notre bureau, en octobre, avec une serviette commémorative de l’inauguration, et qui nous a informés de cette étape importante!</p>

<p>Family, friends, and community members joined us at Constantine Luty Park on Saturday, October 4 for a special commemorative naming ceremony.</p>
<p>Born in 1925, Constantine (or ‘Con’ as he was known) grew up in a small Ukrainian farming community outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Con went on to pursue a higher education &#8211; which was quite rare for that time period &#8211; and at just 19 years old, he was offered the opportunity to manage the second-most northern outpost of the Hudson’s Bay Company in Sugluk, now known as Salluit, Quebec.</p>
<p>After five years as a fur trader in the Arctic, where he lived closely with local Inuit, he returned south to London, Ontario, to train in radio communications, eventually leading him to Ottawa where he met his beloved wife Belva and raised their five children.</p>
<p>Special guests on Saturday included Con&#8217;s wife Belva, their sons Doug, Brian, and Jim, their daughter Sandra who spoke on behalf of the Luty family, and grandchildren Tyson, Matthew, Zoe, and Maddi. Also on hand were Jim Watson, former Mayor of the City of Ottawa, and Shad Qadri, former City Councillor for Stittsville.</p>
<p>The park is located on Paseana Place in the Fernbank area. It&#8217;s a small park that&#8217;s perfect for quiet contemplation and meditation.</p>

<h2>PHOTOS : Cérémonie de désignation officielle du parc Constantine-Luty</h2>
<p>La famille, les amis et les membres de la communauté se sont joints à nous au parc Constantine-Luty le samedi 4 octobre pour une cérémonie de désignation commémorative spéciale.</p>
<p>Né en 1925, Constantine (ou « Con » comme on l’appelait) a grandi dans une petite communauté agricole ukrainienne près de Winnipeg, au Manitoba. Con a poursuivi des études supérieures – ce qui était assez rare pour l’époque – et, à seulement 19 ans, on lui a offert l’occasion de gérer le deuxième avant-poste le plus au nord de la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson à Sugluk, aujourd’hui connu sous le nom de Salluit, au Québec.</p>
<p>Après cinq ans comme commerçant de fourrures dans l’Arctique, où il vivait étroitement avec les Inuits locaux, il est retourné vers le sud à London, en Ontario, pour se former aux communications radio, ce qui l’a finalement mené à Ottawa où il a rencontré sa chère épouse Belva et élevé leurs cinq enfants.</p>
<p>Les invités spéciaux samedi comprenaient l’épouse de Con, Belva, leurs fils Doug, Brian et Jim, leur fille Sandra qui a parlé au nom de la famille Luty, ainsi que leurs petits-enfants Tyson, Matthew, Zoe et Maddi. Étaient également présents Jim Watson, ancien maire de la Ville d’Ottawa, et Shad Qadri, ancien conseiller municipal de Stittsville.</p>
<p>Le parc est situé à la place Paseana, dans le secteur de Fernbank. C’est un petit parc parfait pour la contemplation et la méditation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UPDATE: This application was approved by City Council on September 24, 2025.</p>
<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p><em>(Photo: Flewellyn-Jones House, November 2013. Photo by Glen Gower.)/(Photo : Maison Flewellyn-Jones, novembre 2013. Photo de Glen Gower.)</em></p>
<p>In a <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=df92cccb-c148-4796-808b-41a844a578d0&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=19&amp;Tab=attachments">report to the Built Heritage Committee</a>, City staff are recommending the approval of an application to demolish the house located at 5897 Fernbank Road.</p>
<p>The property was designated under Part IV of the <em>Ontario Heritage Act</em> on September 17, 2019, and contains a two-storey stone-clad Gothic Revival farmhouse, also known as the Flewellyn/Jones House, constructed in 1886.</p>
<p>The property suffered a fire on March 26, 2025, causing significant structural damage to the house. A <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=df92cccb-c148-4796-808b-41a844a578d0&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=19&amp;Tab=attachments">structural engineering assessment</a> following the fire found significant structural damage to the foundation, floor assemblies and roof assemblies, in addition to smoke and fire damage to the exterior and interior walls. The assessment identified a collapse risk at the second-floor roof assembly and recommended that the entire structure be demolished due to damage and the risk of collapse.</p>
<p>The property owner has applied for a heritage permit to demolish the property based on the conclusions of the structural engineering assessment.</p>
<p>Applications to demolish properties designated under Part IV of <em>the Ontario Heritage Act</em> are not typically supported. However, given the extensive fire damage and risk of collapse, Heritage Planning staff are recommending the approval of the application to demolish the farmhouse on site.</p>
<p>The staff report will go before the Built Heritage Committee on September 9, 2025 before rising to City Council on September 24, 2025.</p>

<h3>Councillor comments:</h3>
<p>Here are the comments provided by Councillor Glen in the staff report:</p>
<blockquote><p>I’m saddened by the potential loss of Flewellyn-Jones House, which has been a landmark in Goulbourn and Stittsville for nearly 140 years.</p>
<p>Richard and Margaret Flewellyn arrived from Ireland with their young son John in the early 1860s. They purchased 195 acres in December 1869 at Concession X, Lot 26, Goulbourn Township, now known as 5897 Fernbank Road in Stittsville, where they raised 10 children – five girls and five boys. The stone house was built in 1886.</p>
<p>The family and their descendants became community leaders, involved in the founding of what’s now Stittsville United Church, and active in the local school board as trustees. They were probably involved in establishing SS #14, a pioneer schoolhouse on the other side of Fernbank that was demolished more than a decade ago.</p>
<p>The property changed hands several times in the mid-20th century before being purchased by Dorothy and Bill Jones in 1962.</p>
<p>The house is one of several stone buildings in the Stittsville/Goulbourn area that were built in late 19th century in the years following the Great Fire of 1870, that I call “The Stone Cousins”. Flewellyn-Jones is a Gothic Revival farmhouse, similar in style and construction to Boyd House and Patrick Hartin House, both located almost directly north near Huntmar and Maple Grove.</p>
<p>I encourage the current owners to work with City staff to appropriately commemorate the Flewellyn-Jones house and the legacy of the Flewellyn family in any future building or development on the property.</p></blockquote>

<h2>Le personnel recommande la démolition de la maison Flewellyn-Jones, située sur le chemin Fernbank</h2>
<p>Dans un <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=df92cccb-c148-4796-808b-41a844a578d0&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=19&amp;Tab=attachments">rapport présenté au Comité du patrimoine bâti</a>, le personnel de la Ville recommande d’approuver une demande de démolition de la maison située au 5897, chemin Fernbank.</p>
<p>Cette propriété désignée en vertu de la partie IV de la <em>Loi sur le patrimoine de l’Ontario</em> le 17 septembre 2019 est occupée par une maison de ferme néogothique à parement de pierre de deux étages, connue sous l’appellation de maison Flewellyn-Jones et construite en 1886.</p>
<p>Un incendie survenu le 26 mars 2025 a causé d’importants dommages structurels à cette maison. Une <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=df92cccb-c148-4796-808b-41a844a578d0&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=19&amp;Tab=attachments">évaluation de l’ingénierie structurale</a> réalisée après l’incendie a révélé des dommages importants aux fondations, aux planchers et à la toiture, en plus de ceux causés par la fumée et le feu aux murs extérieurs et intérieurs. Cette évaluation a permis de déterminer un risque d’effondrement de la toiture du second étage. La démolition de l’ensemble de la structure a donc été recommandée en raison des dommages observés et du risque d’effondrement.</p>
<p>Le propriétaire a présenté une demande de permis patrimonial pour démolir le bâtiment sur la base des conclusions de l’évaluation de l’ingénierie structurale.</p>
<p>Les demandes de démolition de propriétés désignées en vertu de la partie IV de la <em>Loi sur le patrimoine de l’Ontario</em> ne sont généralement pas approuvées. Toutefois, compte tenu des dommages importants causés par l’incendie et au regard du risque d’effondrement, le personnel chargé de la planification du patrimoine recommande d’approuver la demande de démolition de la maison de ferme occupant l’emplacement visé.</p>
<p>Le rapport du personnel sera présenté au Comité du patrimoine bâti le 9 septembre 2025 avant d’être présenté au Conseil municipal le 24 septembre 2025.</p>

<h3>Commentaires du conseiller municipal:</h3>
<p>Voici les commentaires formulés par le conseiller Glen Gower dans le rapport du personnel :</p>
<blockquote><p>Je suis attristé par la perte éventuelle de la maison Flewellyn-Jones, lieu emblématique de Goulbourn et de Stittsville depuis près de 140 ans.</p>
<p>Richard et Margaret Flewellyn sont arrivés d’Irlande avec leur jeune fils John au début des années 1860. Ils ont fait l’acquisition en décembre 1869 de 195 acres de terres sur la concession X, lot 26, canton de Goulbourn, un bien-fonds qui porte aujourd’hui pour adresse municipale le 5897, chemin Fernbank à Stittsville, où ils ont élevé leurs dix enfants, cinq filles et cinq garçons. La maison de pierre a été construite en 1886.</p>
<p>La famille et ses descendants sont devenus des leaders communautaires, s’investissant dans la fondation de ce qui est aujourd’hui l’Église unie de Stittsville et participant activement au conseil scolaire local en tant qu’administrateurs. Ils ont probablement participé à la création de l’école secondaire de rang n<sup>o</sup> 14, une école pionnière située de l’autre côté de Fernbank, démolie il y a plus de dis ans.</p>
<p>La propriété a changé de mains à plusieurs reprises au milieu du XX<sup>e</sup> siècle, avant d’être rachetée par Dorothy et Bill Jones en 1962.</p>
<p>La maison figure au nombre des quelques bâtiments en pierre construits dans la région de Stittsville/Goulbourn à la fin du XIX<sup>e</sup> siècle, dans les années qui ont suivi le grand incendie de 1870, et que j’appelle les « cousins en pierre ». La maison Flewellyn-Jones, d’inspiration néogothique, rappelle par son style et ses éléments architecturaux la maison Boyd et la maison Patrick-Hartin, toutes deux situées presque directement au nord, près de Huntmar et Maple Grove.</p>
<p>J’encourage les propriétaires actuels à collaborer avec le personnel de la Ville afin de commémorer de manière appropriée la maison Flewellyn-Jones et l’héritage de la famille Flewellyn dans tout projet de construction ou d’aménagement sur cette propriété.</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>In a <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=cad7f8f0-1d21-4b5f-98af-e4c631aec59a&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=21&amp;Tab=attachments">report to the Built Heritage Committee</a>, City staff are recommending that the by-law designating 1518 Stittsville Main Street to be of cultural heritage value under Part IV of the <em>Ontario Heritage Act</em> be repealed because the historic building that was once located there no longer exists.</p>
<p>The property was designated under Part IV of the <em>Ontario Heritage Act</em> on May 20, 1986 by the former Township of Goulbourn. At that time, it contained a two-storey building constructed in the early 1870s known as the Bradley General Store and Post Office. The building was partially destroyed by fire on September 9, 2013, and what remained was demolished on July 18, 2014 due to extensive damage and structural concerns.</p>
<p>While the site is currently vacant, Inverness Homes wants to build a four-storey, 27-unit apartment building and a two-storey mixed-use building with a restaurant and office space on the site, known as <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/1518-stittsville-main-street-revised-site-plan-control-application/">The Station</a>.</p>
<p>Staff initially recommended that Council repeal the designating by-law at a Built Heritage Sub-Committee meeting of March 3, 2014. Council approved the recommendation at the City Council meeting of April 9, 2014; however, the repeal process was not initiated, and no repealing by-law was passed at the time.</p>
<p>The by-law repeal process under the <em>Ontario Heritage Act</em> has since been revised, so staff are re-initiating the repeal process under the current policies. The staff report will go before the Built Heritage Committee on May 13, 2025 before rising to City Council on May 28, 2025.</p>

<h3>1518, rue Stittsville Main au Comité du patrimoine bâti le 13 mai</h3>
<p>Dans un <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=cad7f8f0-1d21-4b5f-98af-e4c631aec59a&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=21&amp;Tab=attachments">rapport présenté au Comité</a> du patrimoine bâti, le personnel de la Ville recommande que le règlement désignant le 1518, rue Stittsville Main comme ayant une valeur patrimoniale culturelle en vertu de la partie IV de la <em>Loi sur le patrimoine de l’Ontario</em> soit abrogé parce que l’édifice historique qui s’y trouvait n’existe plus.</p>
<p>La propriété a été désignée en vertu de la partie IV de la <em>Loi sur le patrimoine de l’Ontario</em> le 20 mai 1986 par l’ancien canton de Goulbourn. À l’époque, elle comprenait un bâtiment de deux étages construit au début des années 1870 connu sous le nom de Bradley General Store and Post Office. Le bâtiment a été partiellement détruit par un incendie le 9 septembre 2013, et ce qui restait a été démoli le 18 juillet 2014 en raison de dommages importants et de problèmes structurels.</p>
<p>Bien que le site soit actuellement vacant, Inverness Homes veut construire un immeuble d’appartements de quatre étages et de 27 logements et un immeuble à usage mixte de deux étages avec un restaurant et des bureaux sur le site, connu sous le nom de <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/1518-stittsville-main-street-revised-site-plan-control-application/">The Station</a>.</p>
<p>Le personnel a d’abord recommandé au Conseil municipal d’abroger le règlement de désignation lors d’une réunion du Sous-comité du patrimoine bâti tenue le 3 mars 2014. Le Conseil a approuvé la recommandation lors de la réunion du Conseil municipal du 9 avril 2014; cependant, le processus d’abrogation n’a pas été amorcé et aucun règlement d’abrogation n’a été adopté à l’époque.</p>
<p>Le processus d’abrogation des règlements municipaux en vertu de la <em>Loi sur le patrimoine de l’Ontario</em> a depuis été révisé, de sorte que le personnel reprend le processus d’abrogation conformément aux politiques en vigueur. Le rapport du personnel sera présenté au Comité du patrimoine bâti le 13 mai 2025 avant d’être présenté au Conseil municipal le 28 mai 2025.</p>

<p>Alfred McCoy was a business leader in Stittsville and led the village in the progress of local recreation programs and facilities. McCoy founded A.H. McCoy Construction Ltd. in the early 1940s and it became one of Eastern Ontario&#8217;s largest road building companies.</p>
<p>In the 1950s and 60s, Alf (as everyone knew him) was instrumental in ensuring that a baseball field, tennis courts and an outdoor skating rink were installed on the current site of the Carleton Apartments, operated by Goulbourn Non-Profit Housing on Carleton Cathcart Street.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Built Heritage Committee today approved changes to the City’s <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=711cb281-dd6c-4c44-9a28-aa7ad9f18d95&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=22&amp;Tab=attachments" data-extlink="">heritage grant program</a> to account for increased construction costs and to create a new funding stream for buildings run by charities and non-profits.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Changes to the grant program reflect a scan of similar programs in other municipalities, feedback from program users, heritage trends and City staff resourcing. The changes would:</p>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Maintain the existing matching grant for small-scale properties, with a maximum grant of $10,000</li>
<li>Increase the $25,000 threshold for large-scale properties to $35,000 if funds allow, to reflect construction costs that have risen 51 per cent since 2019</li>
<li>Introduce a cost-sharing stream for eligible incorporated not-for-profit organizations and charitable organizations. Up to 75 per cent of eligible restoration costs would be covered, to a maximum of $75,000. This stream would help fund large-scale conservation projects.</li>
<li>Change the program name from the Heritage Grant Program for Building Restoration to the Heritage Property Grant Program</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This item will rise to Council on Wednesday, September 18.</p>

<h3 class="page-title"><span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Le Comité approuve les modifications au Programme de subventions au patrimoine</span></h3>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le Comité du patrimoine bâti a approuvé aujourd’hui les changements apportés au <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=711cb281-dd6c-4c44-9a28-aa7ad9f18d95&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=French&amp;Item=22&amp;Tab=attachments" data-extlink="">Programme de subventions au patrimoine </a>de la Ville afin de tenir compte de l’augmentation des coûts de construction et de créer une nouvelle voie de financement pour les bâtiments gérés par des organismes de bienfaisance et des organismes sans but lucratif.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Les modifications tiennent compte d’une analyse de programmes similaires dans d’autres municipalités, des commentaires des utilisateurs du programme, des tendances en matière de patrimoine et des ressources en personnel de la Ville. Elles consisteraient à :</p>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>maintenir la subvention de contrepartie existante pour les petites propriétés, jusqu’à concurrence de 10 000 $;</li>
<li>augmenter à 35 000 $ le seuil de 25 000 $ pour les grandes propriétés si les fonds le permettent, afin de tenir compte des coûts de construction qui ont augmenté de 51 % depuis 2019;</li>
<li>instaurer une voie de partage des frais pour les organismes sans but lucratif et de bienfaisance constitués en personne morale qui remplissent les conditions requises. Jusqu’à 75 % des coûts de restauration admissibles seraient couverts, jusqu’à concurrence de 75 000 $. Cette voie aiderait à financer des projets de conservation à grande échelle;</li>
<li>remplacer le nom du Programme de subventions au patrimoine pour la restauration des édifices par « Programme de subventions pour les propriétés patrimoniale ».</li>
</ul>
<p>Ce point sera soumis au Conseil le mercredi 18 septembre.</p>

<p>On Sunday, July 28, family, friends and neighbours gathered for a special naming ceremony at Silas Bradley Park at 910 Orvieto Way in the Edenwylde neighbourhood in Stittsville. Several generations of the Bradley family joined us to pay tribute to the life and community contributions of Silas Christopher &#8220;SC&#8221; Bradley.</p>
<p>&#8220;SC&#8221; was a long-time resident of Stittsville who was deeply involved in his community, including eight years of service as Stittsville&#8217;s first Reeve upon its inception in 1961. He was also the founder of Bradley&#8217;s Insurance.</p>
<p>Well-known as a strong community leader, Silas took on many leadership roles and is renowned for his work as an elected officer for the Hazeldean Loyal Orange Lodge No. 246., Chairman of the South Carleton School Board, Master of the Hazeldean Masonic Lodge, elected Warden of St. Thomas Anglican Church, Justice of the Peace for Carleton County, and as a charter member of the Stittsville District Lion’s Club.</p>
<p>Mayor Mark Sutcliffe was on hand for the ceremony, and Bradley&#8217;s granddaughter Ellen Faulkner spoke at the event.</p>

<h2>Cérémonie officielle de dénomination du parc Silas-Bradley</h2>
<p>Le dimanche 28 juillet, la famille, les amis et les voisins se sont réunis pour une cérémonie spéciale de dénomination au parc Silas-Bradley, situé au 910, chemin Orvieto, dans le quartier Edenwylde de Stittsville. Plusieurs générations de la famille Bradley se sont jointes à nous pour rendre hommage à la vie et aux contributions communautaires de Silas Christopher « SC » Bradley.</p>
<p>« SC » a longtemps vécu à Stittsville et s’est beaucoup investi dans sa communauté, notamment en étant pendant huit ans le premier préfet de Stittsville lors de sa création en 1961. Il est également le fondateur de Bradley’s Insurance.</p>
<p>Reconnu comme un leader de la communauté hors pair, Silas a assumé de nombreux rôles de leadership et est réputé pour son travail en tant que représentant élu de la Loyal Orange Lodge n<sup>o</sup> 246, Hazeldean, président du conseil scolaire de South Carleton, maître de la loge maçonnique Hazeldean, marguillier élu de l’église anglicane St. Thomas, juge de paix pour le comté de Carleton et membre fondateur du Club Lions du district de Stittsville.</p>
<p>Le maire Mark Sutcliffe était présent à la cérémonie et la petite-fille de M. Bradley, Ellen Faulkner, a pris la parole à cette occasion.</p>
