										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit </em></p>
<p>Many humans and their dogs enjoy walking and running in Shea Woods. The City of Ottawa has acquired 12.5 acres of the cedar forest to preserve as a permanent off-leash dog park.</p>
<p>The nearby church parking lot is private property, and is owned and maintained by <a href="https://www.holyspiritparish.ca/">Holy Spirit Catholic Parish</a>. For residents who are using the parking lot to access Shea Woods, please remember:</p>
<ul>
<li>Keep your dogs on leash when in the parking lot.</li>
<li>Drive slowly.</li>
<li>Be responsible and pick up after your pet. (Dog waste can be disposed in a sealed, leak-proof bag in your green bin at home.)</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Thank you for your co-operation!</em></p>

<h2>Rappel pour les personnes qui promènent leur chien au boisé du chemin Shea</h2>
<p>De nombreuses personnes aiment se promener ou courir avec leur chien dans le boisé du chemin Shea. La Ville d’Ottawa a acquis un terrain boisé de 12,5 acres de cèdres en vue de le préserver de façon permanente et d’en faire un parc canin sans laisse.</p>
<p>Le terrain de stationnement de l’église adjacente est une propriété privée appartenant à la <a href="https://www.holyspiritparish.ca/">paroisse catholique Holy Spirit</a> qui en assure l’entretien. Les personnes qui utilisent le stationnement pour accéder au boisé du chemin Shea doivent respecter les consignes suivantes :</p>
<ul>
<li>Garder son chien en laisse dans le stationnement.</li>
<li>Circuler lentement sur le terrain.</li>
<li>Être responsable et ramasser les excréments de son chien. (Les excréments de chiens peuvent être placés dans un sac étanche scellé et jeté dans le bac vert à la maison.)</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Merci de votre collaboration!</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>We left some letters at the picnic table in Shea Woods today for people who walk their dogs in the area. Here&#8217;s the full text of the letter. Please share with people you know who walk their dogs in the area. We are also looking for volunteers to help distribute the letter over the next week. Please email <a href="mailto:glen.gower@ottawa.ca">glen.gower@ottawa.ca</a> if you can help.</em></p>
<p><strong>DID YOU KNOW…</strong></p>
<p>Many dogs enjoy walking and running in <strong>Shea Woods</strong>, or “Stittsville’s unofficial dog park”.</p>
<p>In 2017, the City of Ottawa announced a$1.5-million agreement to conserve part of the Shea Woods cedar forest. The land is currently owned by <strong>CRT Developments </strong>and remains private property pending a final sale agreement.</p>
<p>The church parking lot is also private property, owned and maintained by <strong>Holy Spirit Catholic Parish</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Please remember that both the natural area and the church parking lot are private property. </strong>Use of both the forest area and the parking lot is at your own risk. Please use the south entrance to the parking lot (the furthest entrance from the church entrance) for vehicle access.</p>
<p>Please be responsible, pick up after your pets, and take the dog waste home! <strong>Please do not leave dog waste bags in the church garbage bins. </strong>If you are using the church parking lot, please drive slowly and be respectful to the church congregation to ensure the health and safety of everyone.</p>
<p>Thank you for your co-operation,</p>
<p><strong>Glen Gower<br />
</strong><em>City Councillor, Stittsville</em></p>

<h2>Un message à ceux qui promènent leur chien dans le boisé du chemin Shea</h2>
<p><em>Aujourd’hui, nous avons laissé sur la table de pique-nique dans le boisé du chemin Shea quelques copies d’une lettre s’adressant à ceux qui promènent leur chien dans le coin. Vous trouverez plus bas la lettre complète. Partagez-la avec les gens que vous connaissez qui pourraient être concernés. Nous sommes également à la recherche de bénévoles pour distribuer la lettre au cours de la semaine prochaine. Si vous voulez vous impliquer, écrivez à l’adresse </em><em><a href="mailto:glen.gower@ottawa.ca">glen.gower@ottawa.ca</a></em><em>.</em></p>
<p><strong>LE SAVIEZ-VOUS?</strong></p>
<p>Beaucoup de chiens aiment courir et se faire promener dans le <strong>boisé du chemin Shea, </strong>ou « parc canin non officiel de Stittsville ».</p>
<p>En 2017, la Ville d’Ottawa a annoncé une entente de 1,5 million de dollars pour la conservation d’une partie de la forêt de cèdres du boisé. Actuellement, le terrain appartient à <strong>CRT </strong><strong>Developments </strong>et demeure une propriété privée dans l’attente d’un contrat de vente final.</p>
<p>Le stationnement de l’église est aussi une propriété privée, entretenue par son propriétaire, la <strong>Holy Spirit Catholic Parish</strong><strong>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>N’oubliez pas : ces deux endroits sont des propriétés privées. </strong>Si vous les visitez, vous le faites à vos propres risques. Merci d’utiliser l’entrée sud du stationnement (la plus loin de l’entrée de l’église) avec votre véhicule.</p>
<p>Soyez responsables : ramassez les excréments de votre chien et jetez-les chez vous! <strong>Ne les jetez surtout pas dans les poubelles de l’église.</strong><strong>Si vous utilisez le stationnement de l’église, conduisez lentement. Soyez respectueux à l’égard de la congrégation afin d’assurer la sécurité de tous.</strong></p>
<p>Merci de votre coopération.</p>
