The Annual Maskeraid Parade in Carleton Place is going to be a spook-tacular night downtown. Dozens of captivatingly spooky floats and costumed participants will be marching down Bridge Street on October 24th, 2016. Beginning at 7 pm, the parade will kick off at Heritage Mall on Lansdowne Avenue and travel down Bridge Street, ending at Mill Street by the Town Hall. The Maskeraid Parade is in support of the Lanark County Food Bank, making it an extra special night.
Make this Halloween extra exciting by building the scariest and most imaginative float together with your neighbourhood. Schools, sports teams, community and social groups are also encouraged to showcase their creative side with an elaborate float or by creating a Food Bank challenge between other groups.

Everyone is welcome downtown to watch the ghosts and goblins float down Bridge Street into the dark abyss. Spectators are encouraged to dress up in a costume, get into the spirit, and celebrate Halloween. If you want to see a parade that is both haunting and enchanting, come celebrate the BIA Maskeraid Parade on October 24th, 2016 in Carleton Place.

Take Back The Night will take place on September 21st, 2016.

For the past several years Carleton Place has been host to one of the most well-attended rural Take Back the Night Marches in Canada. Even on the soggiest of nights local residents turn out with their banners and noise-makers in record numbers. All to demand that a womanʼs right to walk our streets safely be upheld.

The Take Back The Night, march, an event that focuses on ending violence against women. Take Back the Night events take place across North America. They are designed to raise the awareness of safety issues for women and children. This march protests harassment, sexual abuse, and assault.

Why is the Take Back the Night March Necessary?

Women are much more likely to feel worried or unsafe about their personal security. The overall message of the Take Back the Night observances and protests around the world is, Women are still not safe from male violence.

• Because moreso than men, many women feel we need to modify our activities or routines or avoid certain places to protect ourselves from crime
• Because we more often feel we need to lock our doors when alone
• Because we more carefully plan routes with safety in mind
• Because we check the back seat of our parked cars before we get in
• Because incidents of rape and assault are not decreasing. They are in fact increasing
• Because women are often told to be extra careful and take precautions when going out at night.
• Because in some parts of the world, even today, women are not allowed out at night.

This is a family friendly event for all to join!! We hope to see you there!!

The Labyrinth Committee of Carleton Place invites you to bring out your lanterns, glow sticks or flashlights and join our FREE evening walk. Find us behind the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum, 267 Edmund St.

The Community Labyrinth is located at the corner of George and Baines Streets, beside the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum. The stone-bordered grassy path is the focal point for Labyrinth Park, a peaceful garden filled with ornamental grasses, native trees, benches for sitting, and a wheelchair-accessible contemplation ring that encircles the labyrinth. The labyrinth was built starting in 2010, and construction was made possible by the Town of Carleton Place, individual, business  & community sponsors, and a Trillium Foundation grant.

We have a series of events planned throughout 2016 – and hope that you will be able to join in.
