Dear Editor: We want to publicly thank the many people who supported the two recent events held in support of our son’s charity, the Scott M. Herr Memorial Foundation. In early March, the annual floor hockey tournament was held at Canton High School. Participants included students and faculty alike. We want to thank all who […]
Did you know … The old Plymouth Rubber factory site on Revere Street holds an important piece of Canton history. But as it sits today, the site is contaminated and in disrepair. Canton Holdings, LLC has introduced a plan to revitalize the property with a mixed-use development consisting primarily of owner-occupied homes, a private daycare/kindergarten, […]
Dear Canton residents: Do you dislike the rotary on Pleasant Street? Do you believe the excuses of “listening to the town engineers?” Well, if you were part of the 86 percent who so ignored your birthright that you didn’t vote, you have no right to complain about anything done by our selectmen. And now we’re […]
Dear Editor: Joe DeFelice once again has attacked last year’s town meeting vote that approved moving our April election to November. He continues to claim that this won’t increase voter turnout “except in a presidential year.” I’ve pointed out in previous letters to the Citizen and at last year’s town meeting that abundant historical voter […]

His characteristics of integrity, intelligence and stability along […]
Dear Editor: On the one hand, to know that we were the home of Commodore John Downes, who sailed on the first voyage of the USS Constitution, makes me very proud. At age 23 he served as a lieutenant aboard the USS Wasp (a later version of which my father helped design for our World War […]
Dear Editor: The Canton skating rink has been a tremendous asset for the entire town and surrounding communities. Although our kids do not play hockey, we have benefited through the town’s learn-to-skate program and public skating times. I believe having a rink in Canton adds to the town’s appeal and makes Canton a terrific town […]
Dear Editor: News flash! Town of Canton look no further. The mystery is solved! The skating rink collapsed because common sense had the shovels, work ethic lapsed, foolish red tape, and lastly, the game of pass the buck. Most important, thanks to the powers that be, no gifts from God were killed! Don’t worry, the […]
Dear Editor: As a parent of a hockey player and a taxpayer in the town, I am extremely concerned with how this catastrophe (collapse of the roof at Metropolis Rink) unfolded.
