Celebrate Canada Day in your hometown and thank all of the volunteers and sponsors who have made these events possible. Celebrate Canada Day in Stittsville! This Canada Day take the time to celebrate the history of Canada and Ottawa’s 200 Year celebration and what it means to you. Whether you are staying in town, off to the cottage or going camping, remember the roots of how Canada came to be — from the days since July 1, 1867, at 12:00 noon, when Ontario (Upper Canada), New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec joined together with the Queen’s proclamation to announce the birth of a new country – the Dominion of Canada – to the current Canada you know today.
And don’t forget before Canada Day to show your pride for Canada by purchasing a lawn sign: “Canada – Strong and Free” or “Proudly Canadian” from the Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville. Signs cost $15 each and the profits from this sale will support Rotary projects in our community and around the world. To order a sign, please contact Charles Mossman at charcz@yahoo.com. Payment for the signs may be made by e-transfer of $15.00 to charcz@yahoo.com or in cash at the time of pick-up. Charles will make arrangements with you on how to receive your sign.
