Dear Editor: I read with dismay about the most recent serious accident on York Street and certainly hope for a speedy recovery for those involved. Those of us who live on or near York Street and travel it several times a day are all too aware that not a week goes by without an accident […]
Dear Editor: I have always believed that “government is run by those who show up.” It’s important to show up to the April 3 town election despite the fact there is only one contested seat on this year’s ballot. That’s because we have the opportunity to approve the Community Preservation Act (CPA). Canton has numerous […]
Dear Editor: Canton is a hidden jewel in many respects. We are blessed with breathtakingly beautiful open natural areas for hiking, cycling, golfing and boating. Canton claims archaeologically important Signal Hill, Ponkapoag Pond, the Bradley Estate, the Brookwood Community Farm, and the picturesque Blue Hills. In recent years we have wisely protected recreational open space […]
Dear Editor: I would like to respond to some of the inaccuracies that surfaced at last week’s Board of Selectmen’s meeting — and subsequently appeared in the Canton Citizen — regarding the construction of a solar park on the former town landfill on Pine Street. First and foremost, the project is absolutely under investigation by […]
DID YOU KNOW … While it is true that the incumbents have generally done a credible job, the need for competition is obvious as the lack of political competition is not healthy in a democracy.

Dear Canton voters: I ask that you support approval of the Community Preservation Act (CPA) on Election Day, April 3. As a member of the Canton Historical Commission, I have a particular interest in using CPA funds to finance historic preservation projects. To be clear, the views expressed in this letter are mine, rather than […]
Dear Editor: I am writing in response to a recent article about CABI’s opposition to the Community Preservation Act (CPA), which will be put to town voters for approval on April 3. I appreciate what local businesses do for our town, and as a former local owner of a small business, I am sympathetic to […]
Dear neighbors: I will vote “Yes” to adopt the Community Preservation Act (CPA) at our upcoming town election because I love the quality of life in our town. And particularly during these tough economic times, it makes good fiscal sense to take advantage of this law to help communities take back control and decision making […]
Dear Editor: On Saturday, February 11, the Canton Association of Parents and Teachers at the Dean S. Luce Elementary School held its “FunRaiser for Education” at the Knights of Columbus. One of the goals of the Luce CAPT is to raise money to fund items that aren’t typically within the school department budget. This year’s “FunRaiser” […]
DID YOU KNOW … Where are all the candidates for Canton town offices? There was a time when Canton was a “hot” political town, a time when there would be four or five candidates for selectman. In fact, when MAC ran for selectman years ago, there were five other candidates running for selectman — but […]
