Carleton Place: 200 Years in the Making
Congratulations to Nancy Code-Miller of Nancy’s Impressions!
Nancy has been a household name in our downtown since 1983, curating fashion for all the ladies of Carleton Place and beyond. It is with sadness and fondness that we wish Nancy a happy and healthy retirement. Nancy has sat on the BIA Board and she has guided our downtown through ups and downs. She has a heart of gold and a wicked eye for fashion. We are going to miss her, I will miss her daily strut of smart and totally on point outfits sashaying down Bridge Street. Nancy Congratulation on our well-deserved retirement. Here’s wishing you the best in this next phase
