Dear Canton voters: From where I sat on Monday night, May 13, it appeared that town meeting’s vote in support of the town pool was unanimous. I’m not entirely surprised. Earlier this year, I asked many hundreds of voters why they moved to or choose to stay in Canton. The overwhelming response was our sense […]
Dear Editor: I have been reading and enjoying your newspaper for many years and look forward weekly to (among other things) the next edition of Joe DeFelice’s “Man About Canton” (aka MAC). MAC is usually on-point, brings our attention to worthy items that might not otherwise get mention, and occasionally hollers out in a thought-provoking […]
Dear Editor: As a concerned citizen of Canton and our beautiful planet, I am writing to ask all fellow Canton residents to vote ‘Yes’ at annual town meeting to ban plastic bags at retail. Convenience of use should not dictate our use of an item that takes over 1,000 years to fully break down. While our […]
Dear Editor: At this year’s annual town meeting, Canton will have the opportunity to join the 100 other cities and towns in Massachusetts that have decided to eliminate thin-film single-use plastic bags at the point of sale. Article 27 will reduce the use of plastic bags at retail and restaurant establishments in Canton. This citizen-sponsored […]
Dear Editor: When I was 8, my parents signed me up for the Canton Dolphins swim team so I could start to have the experience of a team sport. I had tried soccer and baseball, and they weren’t for me. The home pool for the Dolphins was constructed about 45 years ago on Bolivar Street, […]
By David McCarthy Traffic. That one word elicits a myriad of passionate reactions from Canton residents. Earlier this month McMahon Associates delivered to the Master Plan Steering Committee a recap of the focus areas they were charged with studying. Those areas included Randolph, Pleasant, Dedham and Chapman streets where each road intersects Washington Street and […]
Dear Editor: Indivisible Canton would like to thank Rep. Bill Galvin for co-sponsoring a bill to enact ranked choice voting for all state and federal elections except for president (H.719). American communities regularly see dynamic and competitive local elections, with no shortage of motivated candidates seeking office. But the rules governing these elections do not […]
Dear Canton community: I am writing with a request for all dog owners. Please be in control of your off-leash dogs in the Blue Hills trails and the Ponkapoag Pond area. I am a 12-year-old dog and I enjoy walking with my owner each day in the Ponkapoag area. It brings me great joy to enjoy the […]
Dear Editor: It often surprises me when I hear some Canton residents say that they have never been to the town pool on Bolivar Street. When I was 5 years old my parents were looking to move out of South Boston. They looked in a few different communities and then looked at a townhouse in […]
Dear Editor: Congratulations once again to the sponsorship, leadership, cast and production crew of the Canton High School Drama Club production of Les Miserables as the play was a great success and a joy to watch. I wish to recognize another integral component of the play which went missing from the March 21 play coverage, that […]
