A New Year for Stittsville-Kanata West

A New Year is upon us and with it brings many changes and an opportunity to reflect.

Last week my staff and I spent several hours driving and walking through the community to look at some areas in need of attention, follow-up on residents’ concerns and view the progress in residential developments such as Jackson Trails and Mattamy Homes.

As I drove down Main Street I could not help but think about how this artery that runs down the centre of our community is a very strong symbol of transition. To start at the south end of Main Street one will find our rich rural roots, which have maintained their unique character over the years. Travelling north you will find quaint shops and beautiful old homes leading into our booming business area featuring the Shops of Main Street and many other places that help keep our community vibrant and connected.

The main theme down Main Street is clear to me. On every street corner the input of dedicated volunteers can be seen in the unique designs of commercial and residential developments and the beautiful features that make our community so warm and welcoming.

In the future Main Street will serve as the important connection between Stittsville and Kanata West. Living in a community experiencing such massive growth does not come without its’ challenges but it also provides us with great opportunities.

Over the next few years we will be welcoming several new neighbours to Ward 6 and I know we will all join forces to maintain the strong and healthy community of Stittsville.

Over the past 13 years I have taken great pride in watching this community prosper and look forward to continue my involvement as your Councillor. I feel incredibly privileged to have the opportunity and vow to bring your issues and concerns to the table. My door is always open and I am interested in hearing from all of you on how we can continue to improve our community.

Family plays a huge role in our lives and I encourage you to surround yourself with loved ones not only during the holiday season but year round.

Theresa, our family and I would like to wish you all a safe, healthy and happy 2007and
look forward to working with all of you.
