Dear Mrs. Cunningham: Your fourth grade class would like to thank you for your hard work and dedication to us and to the town of Canton. Your kind decision to donate classroom funds to the Canton Area Helpline shows your positive leadership and thought to help others during this time of need. We are honored to have you in […]
Dear Canton small businesses: We know that most of our local small businesses are hurting badly as a result of the COVID-19 health crisis and state-ordered work stoppages. When you suffer, the whole community suffers, whether as employees, customers, or residents who take for granted your contributions to our local tax base. Just as important, […]
Dear Editor: As we are all aware, our first responders and neighbors go above and beyond, which has been a true testament during this time of uncertainty. One example of their heroic actions happened on a recent Monday when we experienced a terrible storm. While sitting home with my young son, a tree broke and […]
Dear Editor: The first Earth Day in 1970 inspired the passage of key environmental legislation, including the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species acts and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In 2016, the United Nations chose Earth Day as the day when the historic Paris Agreement on climate change was signed […]

Benjamin Franklin is credited with coining the phrase, “An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure,” after seeing how Boston handled fires in the city. Even though Mr. Franklin was referring to fire prevention, this is true of almost everything, and especially health. The problem with prevention, if you could call it that, […]
Dear Editor: I have only known Lisa Lopez for a year, but I have admired her as a citizen of Canton for a long time. Over the years I had seen her speak at annual town meeting first as a proponent of the Community Preservation Act and then, after passage, as the chair of the […]
Dear Editor: Every year in Massachusetts, thousands of people get married and change their last names, while many more change their addresses. These big and exciting changes often occupy people’s minds for months. During this hectic and new time, people are so focused on the settling process that they fail to recognize that they still […]
Dear Editor: A lot of us from the Neponset Street neighborhood agree with Peter Solz’ assessment in his January 16 letter to the editor that the new Revere bridge is a monstrosity — it couldn’t be uglier.
