Dear Editor: As I mentioned to Canton Citizen publisher Beth Erickson recently, I believe Jay Turner does an excellent job covering municipal news in Canton. He asks very relevant questions. He quotes people accurately. He keeps probing until he uncovers the story behind the story. In a small town it must be very difficult to […]
Dear Editor: How many more accidents have to happen before a living person is killed through lack of common sense? The traffic light at Turnpike (Route 138) and Randolph streets is wrong! There should be a left only with arrow for both facing lanes of traffic, rather than the Russian roulette of hoping a driver […]
Canton Police Chief Ken Berkowitz received this letter last week from a gentleman who had been arrested by the CPD in 1980. He asked that it be published with the permission of the writer, whose name has been redacted. Hello, On March 28, 1980 — wow, almost 34 years ago — I was stopped by […]
Dear Canton: As a lifelong resident of southeastern Mass., I have spent countless hours taking advantage of all that the Blue Hills Reservation has to offer.

Dear Editor: Last weekend on that frigid Sunday, Canton Girl Scouts held a used bike drive to support the Roll it Forward program of BostonBikes. Remarkably, they filled the truck that came to pick up the bikes with 51 bikes of all sizes. The Roll it Forward program will repair the bikes and give them […]
Dear Mr. Joe DeFelice: This letter is in response to your November column about Canton Police Chief Ken Berkowitz assigning school resource officers to both the high school and middle school (two officers). Chief Berkowitz should be highly commended for his commitment to the safety of the children of Canton. In a time of diminishing […]
Dear Editor: Today circulation librarian Mary Owens is retiring from the Canton Public Library after many years of service to the town. We visit the library quite often and have come to know Mary as a welcoming, loyal and dedicated professional to the citizens of Canton. Although we are happy that Mary is looking forward […]
