Dear Community Members: I am urging you to vote ‘Yes’ in support of a new Galvin Middle School. It is our only opportunity to build a facility with MSBA funding that is worthy of the academic, artistic and athletic talents of our young people. I am a Canton resident and a teacher at the Galvin […]
Dear Editor: As a former student of the Galvin Middle School and current sophomore at Canton High School, I believe that Canton is in need of a new middle school. I want to take this opportunity to share my own experiences that led me to feel this way. I was confronted by examples of the […]
Dear Editor: On Tuesday, November 5, Americans chose normal. They chose logic, merit, common sense, reality. They chose truth as it exists instead of truth as subjective interpretation of one’s own delusion. For most Americans, their crazy limit was reached in stunning fashion. American values and aspirations prevailed. Government of, by and for the people […]
Dear Editor: The voters of our town will soon be asked to authorize the building of a new Galvin Middle School with a total cost, hopefully, of $241 million. Of that total, the state has pledged to reimburse us $72 million, leaving the taxpayers of Canton to come up with $169 million. This is no […]

Dear Editor: Unfortunately, retired seniors on fixed incomes and lower-income citizens will carry a heavy burden to pay for the Galvin Middle School given the recent inflation impact over the past two years! The Galvin Middle School is a worthy project to pursue, but extensive add-ons, including an 800-seat auditorium ($15 million), a playground field […]
Dear Editor: I started the Yes for GMS! group to support the new Galvin Middle School proposal because I have seen firsthand the need for a new building, and how many years our community has invested in planning for these two upcoming votes. I also understand that the urgency created by the nature of the […]
Dear Editor: I would like to publicly recognize Mr. Arafat Knight, Canton’s veterans services officer, for his efforts to honor our hometown heroes through the downtown banner program. Amid the chaos downtown, Mr. Knight has given us a reminder of those young men who went to war for our freedom. Many never came home. Thank […]
Dear Editor: Christine Smith’s Exhibit A column in the April 18 edition of the Canton Citizen was a balanced review of the MBT Communities Act and touched on the need for affordable housing.
