Hi,

December 3rd, 19:00: Stittsville Parade of Lights. Staging at 18:00, at the Ottawa Carleton School Board parking lot, across from the Indpendent Grocers, just as you come into Stittsville from Hazeldean Road. We ask that no one walk, floats or bikes to have lights, and music. The parade travels along Stittsville Main Street to Abbott Street, left on Abbott past Village Square and disperses at Sacred Heart High School. As soon as the parade, with Santa passes the park, the lighting of the park ceremonies takes place, there will be hot chocolate, etc. also.
