Carleton Place is preparing to welcome the Kazakhstan World Junior Hockey Team ahead of the IIHF World Junior Championship. Mayor Toby Randell, Community Development Coordinator Jessica Hansen, and Communications Coordinator Amanda Charania recently met with Ambassador Dauletbek Kussainov at the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Canada.
The meeting celebrated hockey traditions in both nations and planned visits by Embassy representatives during the team’s Pre-Competition Training Camp in Carleton Place.
The Kazakhstan team will arrive on Tuesday, December 17, and stay in Carleton Place until December 22, 2024, practicing and participating in pre-competition activities.
Carleton Place extends gratitude to the Embassy of Kazakhstan for their warm hospitality and looks forward to hosting the team and representatives soon.
