2025-09-18 17:00 - 20:00 | Town Hall Square, 175 Bridge Street, Carleton Place
Thursday, September 18, 5-8 p.m.
Meet us at Town Hall Square Park behind Carleton Place Town Hall.
We are making an important change to this year’s Take Back the Night event on Wednesday, September 18th. We will still gather at the park behind Carleton Place Town Hall at 5:00 PM for a condensed version of the evening — including the vigil, speeches, and our march.
The march will head down Bridge Street to Lake Avenue, where a free bus will be waiting at the Farmers’ Market (departing no later than 6:15 PM). Those not boarding the bus are welcome to continue marching back to the park.
The bus will take participants to Parliament Hill, where we will join allies in showing the federal government how much support women have — and how vital it is to protect the services and programs women across Canada rely on. The proposed 80% cut to wage funding will have serious impacts on women’s organizations across the country and the communities they serve. RESERVE YOUR SEAT ON THE BUS HERE.
Regardless if you are coming on the bus or not, we want a big turnout this year for the march and the trip to Parliament Hill. Between what’s happening in the U.S., the Hockey Canada trial, increased rates of intimate partner violence across Lanark County, Ottawa, and the nation — and the proposed wage cuts — women are in a precarious position both here in Canada and around the world. We want our community to show up in solidarity with women and girls everywhere.
Dress Code: We encourage everyone, whether joining us at Parliament Hill or not, to wear LCIHCS swag or purple. LCIHCS t-shirts will be half price for those going on the bus, and swag will be available for sale at As Good As New during the week leading up to the event.
The bus is free — and we want as many people as possible to join us in Carleton Place or meet us in Ottawa.
Since 2006, 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 woman’s right to walk our streets safely be upheld.
Take Back the Night is about women’s right to be free of violence and to walk without fear.

We’ll adjust the sessions depending on the need, so come out for some light refreshments and say hello to someone new in an encouraging and easy environment. Our sessions will take place the 1st Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm, and the 3rd Thursday at 6:00pm. Join us on September 2 at 6:30pm, and September 18 at 6:00pm.

Silent Art Night
2025-09-23 18:00 - 19:30 | Carleton Place Public Library, 101 Beckwith Street, Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada
Have you heard about the Silent Book Clubs where people meet at a public location, chat for a few minutes, and then read in silence for the rest of the evening? We’re doing something just as fun this fall for all those introverts out there!
Get out of the house and “meet” some new people without the pressure of having to do more than just say hello. Join us on Tuesday, September 23rd from 6-7:30pm at the library for a night of silent art-ing. Bring along whatever you’re working on—a painting, your sketchbook, that blanket you’re crocheting—and do it quietly in a room full of other people who love to create, but don’t want the pressure of having to make conversation. Maybe it’ll happen naturally, but expect to just “art” with us for a bit and then go home. Maybe you’ll meet a new coffee friend, or maybe you’ll just get out of the house for a while.
Whatever the reason, we’d love to see you on Tuesday, September 23rd.

Be Ready - 72 Hour Preparedness Workshop
2025-09-24 18:00 - 19:30 | Carleton Place Public Library, 101 Beckwith Street, Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada
As recently as 15 years ago, Red Cross Responses to Disasters here in Canada were predominantly helping those who were impacted by local house and apartment fires and the very occasional ice storm and power outage. More recently, Red Cross Volunteers find themselves occupied by a dramatic increase in climate-related and other events. Planning for annual fire and flood seasons that dislocate more and more people, responding to tornadoes and hurricanes is unprecedented. Deployments across the country are year round.
In this course you will learn what steps you can take to prepare for a range of emergencies, the risks in our community, the plan you need to make, and the kit you will need to take of yourself and your family. The more people can take care of themselves for that first 72 hours of a disaster, the more our first responders, such as police, fire, ambulance, hydro, water and road crews, can focus on helping those who cannot help themselves.
Join us on Wednesday, September 24 from 6-7:30pm for an informative meeting where you’ll learn what you need to prepare for a 72 Hour Emergency. Please email Heidi at hsinnett@carletonplace.ca to register.

Kids aged 8-12 are welcome to register for the final Lego Sumobots session of 2025 which will take place on Tuesday, September 30 from 5-7:30pm. Participants will be grouped into teams and will compete against each other until two teams are left. Everyone in this session MUST also be available for Saturday, October 4 from 1-3:30pm.
The Saturday, October 4th session will pit the two winning teams from Tuesday against each other in an epic playoff to become the final team to represent the Carleton Place Public Library on Saturday, November 8th at the Lanark Highlands Public Library. All participants here must also be able to participate on November 8th or the second team will become the back up.
Thanks to a generous grant from Lanark County and funding from the Elizabeth Kelly Foundation, all Lanark County libraries have been able to run these robotics sessions over the past year, culminating in this exciting playoff on November 8th. One team from each library will play against another until it comes down to one winning library team. This is an exciting tournament which will have prizes and possibly some pizza to reward the participants.
Registration for the September 30th session will begin on Tuesday, September 16th starting at 9:30am on our social media and our website. You can also use the link below to register on September 16th.
