Canton should be proud of Brightview Senior Living

Dear Editor: I am taking this moment to write and tell you about my experience at Brightview Senior Living in Canton. My 96-year-old mother is living there now and my husband and I went up to visit her this past weekend. It is outstanding right from the moment you drive in and see the landscape […]

Peer pressure intense from speeding motorists

Dear Editor: My morning commute on Washington Street is a daily exercise in micro road rage. If I obey speed limits, I’ll be tailgated, flashed, and honked at by the vehicle behind me. If I add 5 mph, it doesn’t help. I’ve read that the lack of speeding enforcement is a matter of limited resources. But […]

Canton Historical Society grateful for support

Dear Editor: The Canton Historical Society would like to thank all of the residents, non-residents, and visitors who attended the society’s Hot Dog Cookout and Open House on July 2. It was a delightful summer day and people enjoyed a tour through the museum and then joined others for a hot dog and ice cream […]

Heartfelt thanks to a town that gave so much

Dear Editor: The sons of Karl and Frances Bischoff wish to thank so many of their wonderful neighbors, friends, first responders — simply put, too many people to count — who gave their lives as residents of Canton so much meaning. It’s easy to take for granted the things that make up normal everyday life. […]

Notes from the State Democratic Convention

Dear Editor: I recently attended the State Democratic Convention as a delegate from Canton. I participated in amending the platform with regard to protection of immigrants and protection of homeowners from arbitrary foreclosures, but an attempt to solve the Israel/Palestine problem didn’t work as the chair ruled that such matters were outside the purview of […]

Retiring crossing guard grateful for the friendships

Dear Editor: Many thanks to the parents and children at the Luce Circle crossing. You treated me as a friend from day one. Hard to believe it was seven years of your kindness. Due to health issues I am retiring. It was a joy crossing your children safely to school. Enjoy the summer and stay […]

Thank you from Canton Veterans Fund

Dear Editor: While preparing for this year’s Memorial Day parade and ceremony, we stood at the American flag in the Veterans Memorial Park and felt a great sense of satisfaction. Finally, the park feels finished. When I took the position as director and agent of the Canton Veterans Services Department in 2001, I knew there […]

Special thank you to town meeting boards

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: This letter is written in support of the town warrant article recommending the expenditure of Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds for an architectural study and structural assessment of the Pequitside Barn, as detailed in Article 27, Motion 5. (Editor’s note: The barn is unrelated to the “Little Red House” at Pequitside, which is […]
