Dear Editor: I want to take a moment to publicly thank the very good Samaritan who found my purse at Shaw’s Supermarket two weekends ago and then took the time out of their day to return it to the Canton Police Department. After going back to Shaw’s and looking everywhere for the purse, I had […]
To the voters of Canton: The Canton Select Board’s proposal that the town consider purchasing (possibly by eminent domain) the St. Gerard Majella Church property should pose a number of questions for voters to carefully consider at the Special Town Meeting on December 1. * Why should the town buy this property? * What use […]
Dear Editor: The recent announcement that the St. Gerard’s property may be put up for sale has prompted the Select Board to ask, “What would be in the town’s best interest?” Do we want the property to be sold to a developer to build more new houses? Do we want the town to acquire this […]
Dear Editor: I really enjoyed Jay Turner’s recent article which regarded Devin Foster as the “greatest basketball player to ever put on a Bulldog uniform.” As a CHS alum myself, I am very happy to hear of Devin’s basketball success.

As Father […]

Now that the town has adopted MEA, the Select Board will develop a plan to become the […]
Dear Editor: I have lived in the same home in Canton for all my years. When I decided to downsize, I wished to remain in Canton among dear friends and a rich life rooted in this community. To say it’s been a struggle to find a suitable place to live is an understatement. My needs […]
Dear Editor: At the May 22 annual town meeting, Canton voters will decide whether to authorize the Select Board to start the process for Municipal Energy Aggregation. The Canton Sustainability Committee supports energy aggregation and urges voters to attend town meeting to vote ‘Yes.’ Energy aggregation allows a town to use its bulk purchasing power […]
Dear Editor: I am hoping to be elected as this year’s moderator for Canton’s annual town meeting. ATM is scheduled to be held on Saturday, May 22, at 12:30 p.m. The plan is for it to last until all business has been concluded. Town leaders are working hard to plan a safe and efficient meeting. […]
