Dear Editor: Indivisible Canton would like to thank Rep. Bill Galvin for co-sponsoring a bill to enact ranked choice voting for all state and federal elections except for president (H.719). American communities regularly see dynamic and competitive local elections, with no shortage of motivated candidates seeking office. But the rules governing these elections do not […]
Dear Canton community: I am writing with a request for all dog owners. Please be in control of your off-leash dogs in the Blue Hills trails and the Ponkapoag Pond area. I am a 12-year-old dog and I enjoy walking with my owner each day in the Ponkapoag area. It brings me great joy to enjoy the […]
Dear Editor: It often surprises me when I hear some Canton residents say that they have never been to the town pool on Bolivar Street. When I was 5 years old my parents were looking to move out of South Boston. They looked in a few different communities and then looked at a townhouse in […]

Dear Canton citizens: I have a quote on my wall at work from Theodore Roosevelt. It says, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” It’s both inspiring and frustrating because at certain times in our lives, we can only do so much. But Lisa Lopez is choosing, in retirement, to do […]
By Sonja Grauds When I moved to Canton nearly three years ago, I had no idea of the wealth of recreational opportunities and open space that the town has to offer. I knew Canton as the home of Blue Hills but not much else in the way of parks, trails, and nature reserves. I was […]
Dear Editor: Climate change is here and increasingly affecting all of us. Canton recently conducted a study of the increasing hazards and risks of the climate crisis, including flooding, fires, extreme heat and catastrophic weather events. The study made great strides toward developing local and regional mitigation and adaptation strategies for Canton residents. However, efforts to […]

Ed Markey, and the citizens of Canton: We the members of the Canton Democratic Town Committee urge our elected officials and fellow residents to take action to protect and to help the people who are directly affected by the current federal government shutdown.
