March break is fast approaching and the good folks in Carleton Place have put together a hyper-local travel itinerary to give families everything they could want, without ever leaving town. Community Development Coordinator Jessica Hansen tells us you don’t have to head to the airport to have a great time.
All of the Town’s recreation and culture facilities will be open and welcoming participants of all ages according to Hansen with plenty for all interests.
Finding the details is as easy as making a few clicks on your favourite device. Hansen points us to the road maps.
