Dear Editor: I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the voters of Canton for passing the Community Preservation Act (CPA). To the group of dedicated people who worked hard to get the CPA passed in April, and then pounded doors and stood on street corners to get it on the ballot again, congratulations! To […]
Dear Editor: Senator Elizabeth Warren owes her many votes in Canton to Joan and Al Nordgren. They brought more than 60 Democratic “cats” together to make the phone calls, watch the polls, canvass the streets, write the cards, and hold the signs that finally brought it all together for this brilliant woman. She may have […]
Dear Editor: The students at Canton High School would like to thank the generosity of the Canton community for their recent support with the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Boston.

Dear Editor: I want to thank my young neighbor who stopped to help me after my fall outside my home on Thursday, October 25. Unfortunately, with all the confusion, I didn’t get her name. I also want to thank Officer Branca of the Canton Police Department and EMTs Jeff O’Brien and his crew that responded […]
Dear Editor: Temple Beth Abraham hosted the 24th running of the Canton Fall Classic on October 28, attracting 885 sign-ups for the 10k, 5k, and the kids’ one-mile fun run. Unlike last year, when the race was postponed due to snow, this year we dodged hurricane Sandy. There was a buzz in the air before […]
DID YOU KNOW … November is here, and it is time to think about winter’s overnight parking restrictions. Town bylaws specify that all overnight on-street parking (1-6 a.m.) is prohibited between November 15 and April 1 so that streets are kept clear for snow removal. Violators are subject to a $15 fine for each violation. […]
