Well, ok, this post office will do. It's in a small, stand-alone building by itself, with parking…read morein the rear. The parking lot backs out onto a grassy field of some sort (I saw people working out, out there.) I got what I needed here: Change of address; forward my mail to new house; keys for the mail box. The woman who served me was very busy though, sorting something out over the phone at the same time as helping me. And no sooner did she hang up then the phone rang again! I don't think the Canada Postal Service is going anywhere any time soon: you can now order things off the internet, and have them shipped to your closest postal outlet. Very handy! And they still sell those gorgeous coins from the Canada mint (although I didn't really know people still collected those. Makes sense though...) Surely I will have reason to go back to this outlet, once in a while, anyway.

Another shop I occasionally go to in this mall is the M&M Meat shop. There's also an IDA Drugmart with a post office inside it, and a McDonalds. Stittsville and area is really growing. It just seems less crowded than similar areas I've been to in the east end - such as Merivale Rd. The big plus for me in Stittsville and Kanata (Ottawa's "True West End") is that there is finally more shopping out this way. That, combined with less congestion is what keeps me here!

There is a MacDonald's, an IDA drug store, an M&M, a dentist, a veterinary and other handy smaller stores. Parking is always available and it is easily accessed from either Carp road or Stittsville main street. Great place for last minute dinner needs.

On Canada Day, I was walking along Sparks Street, checking it out after not having being in this…read morearea for a good decade, at least. I saw Canada Post. Two instances of it. Practically across from each other. Did I need to book an eye test immediately? Maybe. I needed to dig into this weirdness some more. We can't have a confused tourist, let alone confused me. 59 Sparks Street is this Yelp listing. When you look at the building, it has Post Office above the main entrance, with two lion statues on either side of it. It looked like there were other businesses in this building, but nothing that screamed post office. I had to do a bit of digging. This location was known as Ottawa Postal Station B. It's considered a cultural heritage site as of September 2018. I can't tell what this building's purpose is now. What I do know is that the current full-service Canada Post across the street at 58 Sparks Street replaces services from 59 Sparks Street. This post office at 58 Sparks Street was formerly the Ottawa Electric Building. It has been around since 1926 by Albert Ewan, an architect for the Ottawa Electric Company. This company was both an electrical utility company. It also ran electric streetcars back in the day. Fascinating! So, looking at the reviews for this listing, my guess is that everyone is commenting on the services back in 2019 and earlier at the old post office. For current Canada Post services, such as mailing a parcel and renting a mailbox, you want to go across the street to the Canada Post with the Ottawa Electric Building name above the red Canada Post sign.
