Our English Conversation Circle returns in a brand new format with fresh ideas.

If you’re just looking to meet people because you’re new to Carleton Place and haven’t connected with anyone, this is also a great opportunity. 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.
