SUMMARY:Breaking the Silence: Solar Prints and Storytelling Event (Age 16+)
DESCRIPTION:Explore cyanotype in a 2-hour workshop for Sexual Assault Prevention Month—using sun printing for storytelling\, reflection\, and activism. \n\n\n\n\nBreaking the Silence on Sexual Assault: A Cyanotype Workshop for Reflection & Healing \nIn recognition of Sexual Assault Prevention Month\, Lanark County Interval House Community Support (LCIHCS) invites you into a creative\, reflective space focused on breaking the silence around sexual violence and centring healing\, care\, and community connection. \nPresented by Lanark County Interval House Community Support (LCIHCS) and co-led by artist Abby Nowakowski in partnership with LCIHCS\, this workshop invites participants into a hands-on creative experience rooted in reflection\, connection\, and community care. \nThrough a hands-on cyanotype workshop—a sun-printing process that produces vivid blue images—participants will be guided by artist Abby Nowakowski in exploring storytelling through art. LCIHCS team members Jess\, Sadie\, and Emma will be present throughout the session to support the space and offer grounding\, reflective\, and healing-focused activities. \nThis gathering is intended as a shared space for healing\, reflection\, and creative expression. While lived experiences of sexual violence are deeply acknowledged and held with care\, this is not a space for sharing detailed personal trauma narratives. Instead\, we will focus on creativity\, grounding\, and collective care within a supportive and respectful environment. \nThis event is open to everyone. You do not need to identify as a survivor to attend. It is for those who have been impacted by sexual violence directly or indirectly\, as well as those who wish to show care\, solidarity\, and support for survivors and their communities. All are welcome\, with a kindly requested age minimum of 16+. \nContent / Trigger Warning: This event will reference and engage with themes related to sexual assault\, domestic violence\, and violence against women (SA\, DV\, VAW). \nSupported by funding from: Mississippi Mills Community Fund and the Ottawa Community Fund. \nThe Mississippi Mills Community Fund is a public\, charitable organization created by and for the people of Mississippi Mills. The Fund works with donors and the community at large as a trusted partner to fulfill impact philanthropy and bring about positive\, systemic\, and sustainable change.

SUMMARY:Take Back the Night 2025
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 18\, 5-8 p.m. \nMeet us at Town Hall Square Park behind Carleton Place Town Hall.  \nThursday\, September 18\, 5-8 p.m. \nMeet us at Town Hall Square Park behind Carleton Place Town Hall.  \nTake Back the Night – Event Update (August 14\, 2025) \nWe 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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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.  \nRegardless 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. \nDress 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. \nThe bus is free — and we want as many people as possible to join us in Carleton Place or meet us in Ottawa. \nSince 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. \nTake Back the Night is about women’s right to be free of violence and to walk without fear. \n \nFrom the Take Back the Night Foundation website: \nHistory:  Take Back The Night is the earliest worldwide movement to stand against sexual violence\, especially violence against women.  TBTN Events began in the 1960’s in Belgium and England with protests about how women were not able to be safe walking down the street alone.  In 1973\, in the United States\, a group of women at the University of Southern Florida dressed in black sheets holding broomsticks and marched through campus demanding a women’s center.  In 1975\, a crowd in Philadelphia held a Take Back The Night Event to protest the murder of a microbiologist walking near her home after work.  In the 70’s San Francisco had a number of rallies in protest “snuff” pornography and violence against women.  These early events have grown into hundreds of events on college campuses and in communities of all sizes and locations.  The unifying theme of these events is to bring awareness to sexual violence and provide support for victims. \nFoundation:  In 2001\, Katie Koestner\, the first woman in the US to speak out nationally and publicly about being the victim of campus “date” rape\, reached out to event organizers and participants in the US and globally about uniting our efforts and sharing our history.  We wanted to bring the passion\, energy and support of Take Back The Night to more communities.  In establishing the Take Back The Night Foundation\, the ability to share our collective history and support each other in our cause became possible.  Today our Board Members and thousands of supporters work tirelessly to provide resources\, funding\, and healing to as many communities as possible. \nMission:  Our Mission as a charitable 501(c)3 Foundation is to end sexual assault\, domestic violence\, dating violence\, sexual abuse and all other forms of sexual violence.  We serve to create safe communities and respectful relationships through awareness events and initiatives. People of all backgrounds around the world are taking back their voices by speaking out against these crimes and taking a stand through Take Back The Night.  Sexual violence\, harassment\, abuse\, stalking\, and trafficking continue in epidemic proportions.  We have made great strides\, but our march is far from over. \nToday:  Take Back The Night Events have been documented in over 36 countries\, in over 800 communities\, with more locations taking a stand every year.  We have reached over 30 million people with our message of strength and support\, and our commitment to ending sexual violence.

Bring your A-Game for On-Hole contests & games! \nWeather concerns \nThis is a rain or shine event. \nThunderstorms and Lightning Strikes \nThe Mississippi Golf Club does not have or utilize any safety systems to detect or predict inclement weather. Golfers play at their own risk and are therefore responsible for determining when they should get off the golf course if thunderstorms are in the area. \nThe following information has been provided by the Meteorological Service of Canada. \nThe Canadian Lightning Detection Network (CLDN) was installed about 20 years ago. Before CLDN\, it was believed that lightning strikes tended to be grouped or organized and that the next cloud-to-ground strike was expected to be quite close to the previous one. \nSince the CLDN became operational\, they’ve learned differently. Lightning can strike more than 16 kilometers away from a storm. That includes ahead of or behind a lightning storm\, so even if it’s not raining you can be struck. \nNot sheltering under a tree is paramount. Go to a safe location: either a building with plumbing and wiring or an all-metal vehicle. \nOur rain shelters offer NO protection against lightning. \nWe recommend that you follow the excellent advice from the National Lightning Safety Institute: “If you can see it (lightning)\, flee it; if you can hear it (thunder)\, clear it.” \nWhile you are glancing at the radar imagery on your cell phone\, remember that the weather doesn’t have to be upon you before it could become a serious hazard. \nLooking for a reliable website for your cell phone? Try looking up the Canadian Lightning Danger Map on the Internet and bookmarking an icon to your mobile. Also you may wish to download the WeatherCAN weather app. \nCancellations \nLCIH is required to submit the final golfing number no later than May 22\, 2024. Should you need to cancel\, it is your responsibility to secure a replacement. If there is a waiting list for LCIH access\, we will do our best to fill your spot. Please note that fees will not be refunded in case of cancellation. \nAbout the Club\nMississippi Golf Club is an 18-hole\, semi-private golf course located on 190 acres overlooking the picturesque Mississippi River. Established in 1915 on the former Patterson Farm in Appleton\, just five kilometres east of Carleton Place\, Mississippi Golf Club is one of the oldest clubs in Ontario. \nMississippi began as a nine-hole course\, with a second nine – designed by the renowned golf course architect Graham Cooke – added in 1987. A new Pro Shop was constructed in 1992 to serve a growing membership. The original stone club house was destroyed by fire in the fall of 1997\, and replaced with a modern new building that opened the following spring. \nMississippi is an enjoyable course to walk\, friendly to novice golfers while at the same time presenting a surprising challenge to experienced players. We welcome green fee guests and invite you to experience our outstanding course and clubhouse facilities. Pay us a visit and find out why Mississippi Golf Club has been called a “Hidden Gem” in the Ottawa Valley! www.themississippi.ca
