Dear Editor: The Canton Summer Fun and Safety Fair, sponsored by the Board of Health, was held on May 21 at Pequitside Farm and, thanks to clear skies and a break in the weather, went off without a hitch. Consequently, it seemed that everyone who participated thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Of course, this could not have […]
Part of being a trainer who teaches teachers is supporting them when they go back to their classrooms to begin implementing the techniques that you have taught them.

Dear Editor: I wanted to take a moment to recognize the commitment that the town officials of Canton have to the well being of the town. As many of you know, town meeting can be a very contentious time as boards work hard to present their views of our best course of action as a […]
Dear Editor: On Sunday, May 1, inspired by 5-year-old Mylee Lebowitz, many Canton citizens gathered at 557 Pleasant Street, a location that many natives know for something sweet.
