Carleton Place: The charming small town where heritage and nature intertwine
Whether you’re looking to get away for the day or a long weekend, Carleton Place is a friendly town that offers plenty of options for anyone.
Biggest obstacle overcome: In 2016, Escapade suffered a big blow during the festival when adverse weather caused us to close down our main stage with more than 12,000 people already on site. With the help of city officials, local partners and a strong team, we managed to relocate festival-goers into the TD Place arena and continue the event with minimal impact to performing artists and fans.
First job: Working as a cook at a fast-food restaurant.
Advice I’d give the younger me: Trust the process. It always works out. Be supportive and dedicated to my family and friends even in the busiest of times.
Favourite pastime: I’ve played football since I was six and still play on a weekly basis.
Favourite movie: Napoleon Dynamite
