History: the village built its first post office in 1854. The first postmaster was Jackson Stitt, and so the village became known as Stittsville. This rural village was located at the intersection of what is now Carp Road and Hazeldean Road. In 1870 the Great Fire devastated the village and much of Carleton County. The village was rebuilt a mile south where a new railway opened up a month after the fire. By 1920, the post office was in Bradley's General Store situated along the railway. In 1977 the current building was built expressly for the Stittsville PO, serving a community of about 3000 people. The community now has 10 times that many.

To post a log to an existing Canada Post waymark, you will need to post a unique picture of the Canada Post sign. Including your gps device in the picture is not neccesary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
