Hein thanked outgoing members including Roxanne Bronsard (secretary), Claude Keon (treasurer) for their volunteer work and contributions to the community.
The SVA was created just after Stittsville was amalgamated into the City of Ottawa, in an effort to maintain a community voice and identity within the larger city of Ottawa. They continue to organize major events in the community including the Parade of Lights, Canada Day, and Artists in the Park. They also advocate for residents on a variety of issues.
