Stories of Stittsville Main Street

Stittsville Station, in Village Square Park

For more than 170 years, Stittsville has evolved from a small rural village into a vibrant suburban community. On this walk, we’ll explore how the function of Stittsville Main Street has changed over time through stories about its history, familiar landmarks, and distinctive architecture.

We’ll also look ahead to the future and consider how the street may continue to evolve. As always, the walk will be a great opportunity to meet neighbours and experience Stittsville’s favourite street together.
