This year’s event will be held on Thursday, September 25th. The gathering begins at 6:30 in the park behind Carleton Place town hall, with the rally and march set to begin at 7pm. This is a family friendly event for all to join!! We hope to see you there!! For inquiries, contact the Public Education Coordinator at 613-257-3469 ext 63. or visit www.lcih.org/events
