Dear Editor: Canton Little League installed “Boston Strong” banners at all of our fields prior to the start of the season to show Canton’s support for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. During the opening day parade we led our parade with one of these banners. We raised over $1,000 that was donated towards […]
Dear Editor: In recent months the Canton Citizen has reported on the old Plymouth Rubber property on Revere Street and how the current owners wanted to build a housing development on the site. The School Committee and others said it would put a burden on our schools, DPW, police and fire departments. But the town […]
To all of our terrific customers and friends: As you are aware by now, Kramer Jewelers was the victim of a break-in early in the morning of July 4. We are fortunate in so many ways. First of all, the loss was minimal as all of our inventory and customers’ merchandise are put in very […]
Dear Editor: I am deeply saddened and troubled by the closing of the Gridley Preschool (formerly run by the Recreation Department). My 4-year-old daughter attended the school this year and blossomed. Not only was the quality of the program excellent, but the teachers had a special gift for understanding young children. Whether it was when […]

Dear Editor: After reading an article about the Canton selectmen’s opposition to the latest Plymouth Rubber development proposal, I was more frustrated with this fine town we live in. The article made my stomach turn, not because I didn’t agree with some of the concerns, especially the overcrowding of schools, but because we don’t seem […]
Dear Editor: I was proud to be nominated and elected as moderator for Canton’s annual town meeting (ATM) because I strongly believe that town meetings represent the purest form of government by the people. I truly enjoyed the opportunity to serve the town in this capacity, even though I quickly realized the job of moderator […]
Dear Editor: On behalf of the entire John F. Kennedy Elementary School and CAPT (Canton Association of Parent and Teachers), we would like to extend a huge expression of thanks to the local community for support of our annual “An Evening For Education” fundraiser, held on May 17. The proceeds from this fundraiser enable us […]
Dear Editor: I usually send something in this time of year to thank my fellow volunteers and “practically” volunteers for their hard work leading up to and during town meeting.
