Dear Editor: Now that winter is behind us and summer has arrived, a storm cloud brews over the beautiful pond that locals call the Rez.

Dear Editor: On June 23, we will be voting to approve the construction of a new two-story addition to the Hansen Elementary School. The project adds eight new classrooms that replace four existing “temporary” modular spaces that have long out-lived their useful lives. The addition provides much-needed classroom space and includes a new fire safety […]
Dear Editor: I am deeply grateful to Michael Cammarata of Canton Tree Service for taking the time to help me and my 3 year old son on Friday morning, June 12. My car died and he took the time to give me a jump. When the car did not respond to the jump, he tried again […]
Dear Editor: When I read the letter in last week’s Canton Citizen criticizing the Senior Center’s “much too small” exercise room, my first response was, “Huh?” However, upon wading through the unnecessary vitriol for a second time, I felt I had to respond, especially since I am affiliated with the COA, a Cantonite, participate in […]

The School Committee was expected to vote tonight on whether to fund the proposed later school start times. See next week’s Canton Citizen for updates.

Dear Editor: Why is our new exercise room too small? It’s a wall-to-wall challenge these days to observe and/or try to participate in senior exercise programs at the Council on Aging building on Pleasant Street! The square-footage of the exercise room has proven to be functionally inadequate. As warned from its inception on blueprint plans, […]
