Torch-Relay-1024x544Bridge Street Store-Front Decorating Contest

Attention Bridge Street Businesses/Organizations:

For those of you who may not yet know, Carleton Place was chosen as one of the 130 communities that the Pan Am Games Torch Relay will be travelling through on its way from Mexico to Toronto this summer. On Thursday, July 2nd the Pan Am Games Torch Run will be travelling through Carleton Place at approximately 11:00 a.m.

This is an incredible opportunity for Carleton Place and we want to spread the word to get our residents excited about this potentially once in a lifetime event. We are encouraging businesses owners to get involved and decorate your store-front, with the Pan Am Games theme and/or Canadian theme to send well wishes to our Canadian Athletes who will be competing in Toronto in July and August. This is particularly fitting timing as we will be celebrating Canada Day at Riverside Park on July 1st, so it is a perfect fit to decorate with Canada themed decorations.

As an incentive, every store-front decorated will be entered into a draw to win a Pan Am Games Prize Pack that will include souvenirs from the festivities in Toronto, as well as a recognition plaque for your support.
We hope that you will join us in celebrating this wonderful event that will bring hundreds of residents to our Bridge Street Core on Thursday July 2nd, 2015.

The Smith Falls Bears might have won the first game last weekend, but the Canadians were able to avenge that defeat in their subsequent game at Carleton Place, splitting the back-to-back face off against the Bears.

In the second game with the Bears last Sunday, the first goal was scored by Ryan Lowe from Carleton Place in the first period, but Eric Carlson from the bears quickly answered with a short-handed goal, evening the game 1-1.

Before the period ended, the Canadians reclaimed the lead when Donovan Gardiner scored a power play goal.

After that goal, the Bears almost made another equalizer, but their breakaway was disrupted by Carleton Place when Smith Falls Greg Magalhaes was pulled down. A penalty shot was given to Smith Falls, but Magalhaes failed to score against the Canadians Goalie, Scott Shackell.

In the second period, both teams were able to score against one another with powerplay goals. The first one was by Carleton Place. Rusty Hafner patiently waited for the encumbering crowd in front of the net to clear before shooting the goal. Four minutes later, Smith Falls Olivier Charette scored thanks to the assists by Trevor Packard and Matt Burns.

Both teams failed to score in the third period. In the fourth, the Bears had to pull their goalie in the last minute attempting to tie the game. They failed, giving the game to Carleton Place. The Bears were outshoot 34-28.
