<h2>About Roger Griffiths</h2>
<p>Arthur Roger Griffiths (always known as Roger) joined the Royal Canadian Armed Forces in August 1942. He served the duration of World War II with no overseas service. He was an instructor and trained Commonwealth pilots at CFB Uplands and the Carp Airport. Mr. Griffiths was commissioned to Flying Officer in October 1943. Mr. Griffiths was awarded the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal and War Medal 1939-1945, as well as the General Service Badge and Royal Canadian Armed Forces Reserve Badge upon discharge.</p>
<p>He was a long-time resident of Stittsville, serving as Councillor for the Township of Goulbourn from 1977 to 1978 and again from 1982 to 1988 until his passing in 1988.  Mr. Griffiths also served as president of the Stittsville Royal Canadian Legion branch for five terms, and played a significant role in the erection of the Stittsville cenotaph. For his many years of involvement, Mr. Griffiths was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, the Legion’s highest honour.</p>
<p>Every year, the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year award is presented to a Stittsville resident who best exemplifies leadership and long-standing commitment to volunteering and making a difference in our community. The street blade for Roger Griffiths Avenue, located in the Richcraft Homes Mapleton subdivision in Stittsville, features the Poppy symbol, the universal sign of remembrance.</p>
<p>This was made possible through the City’s Veterans Commemorative Street Naming program, a partnership with the City, Veterans Affairs Canada and the Royal Canadian Legion. You can look for these signs installed in newer neighbourhoods all over Ottawa. Roger Griffiths Avenue is the first Veterans Commemorative Street in Stittsville.</p>

<h2>À propos de Roger Griffiths</h2>
<p>Arthur Roger Griffiths (connu sous le nom de Roger) s’est enrôlé dans les Forces armées canadiennes en août 1942. Il a servi au Canada pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En tant qu’instructeur, il a formé des pilotes du Commonwealth à la Base des Forces canadiennes Uplands et à l’aéroport de Carp. M. Griffiths a été promu au grade de lieutenant d’aviation en octobre 1943. Il a reçu la Médaille canadienne du volontaire, la Médaille de la guerre de 1939-1945, l’insigne du service général et l’insigne de la Réserve de l’Armée canadienne après avoir été libéré de ses fonctions.</p>
<p>Résident de longue date de Stittsville, M. Griffiths a été conseiller du canton de Goulbourn de 1977 à 1978, puis de 1982 à son décès en 1988. Il a également exercé cinq mandats à titre de président de la filiale de Stittsville de la Légion royale canadienne et a joué un rôle important dans l’érection du monument commémoratif de guerre de Stittsville. En reconnaissance de ses nombreuses années de service, M. Griffiths a reçu la Médaille du service méritoire, la plus haute distinction de la Légion.</p>
<p>Chaque année, le prix commémoratif Roger Griffiths du résident de l’année est remis à un résident de Stittsville qui fait montre d’un leadership exemplaire et d’un engagement de longue date en matière de bénévolat et de contribution significative à la communauté. La plaque de l’avenue Roger-Griffiths, située dans le lotissement Mapleton de Richcraft Homes à Stittsville, porte le coquelicot, symbole universel du souvenir.</p>
<p>Cette initiative a été rendue possible grâce au Programme municipal de désignation de rues en l’honneur d’anciens combattants, un partenariat entre la Ville, Anciens Combattants Canada et la Légion royale canadienne. Ce type de panneaux se trouve un peu partout à Ottawa, dans les quartiers les plus récents. L’avenue Rogers-Griffiths est la première rue désignée en l’honneur d’un ancien combattant à Stittsville.</p>
