Dear Editor: Senator Elizabeth Warren owes her many votes in Canton to Joan and Al Nordgren. They brought more than 60 Democratic “cats” together to make the phone calls, watch the polls, canvass the streets, write the cards, and hold the signs that finally brought it all together for this brilliant woman. She may have […]
Dear Editor: The students at Canton High School would like to thank the generosity of the Canton community for their recent support with the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Boston. Over 90 students, wearing their black and pink Team Tara shirts, made the trip into Boston on October 14 and completed the […]
Dear Editor: Last year, several companies, CAPTs, and alumni made generous donations to help send the Canton Community and Future Problem Solving teams to the international competition.

Dear Editor: I want to thank my young neighbor who stopped to help me after my fall outside my home on Thursday, October 25. Unfortunately, with all the confusion, I didn’t get her name. I also want to thank Officer Branca of the Canton Police Department and EMTs Jeff O’Brien and his crew that responded […]
Dear Editor: Temple Beth Abraham hosted the 24th running of the Canton Fall Classic on October 28, attracting 885 sign-ups for the 10k, 5k, and the kids’ one-mile fun run.

In the October 6, 2012 article from The Daily Beast titled “Heaven is Real: A Doctor’s Experience with the Afterlife,” Dr. Eben Alexander retells a harrowing account of a week in 2008 when his life teetered between life and death. Upon waking one morning, Dr. Alexander’s entire cranial […]
Dear Editor: Canton has been overrun with 40B projects that bring apartments to Canton. We are impacted in an AA Zone on Randolph Street with three projects: Blue Hills Village across from Blue Hills Regional High School and two more Avalon Apartments on Randolph Street on the Canton-Randolph line. Chapter 40B was passed by the […]
Dear Editor: Believing that only an informed electorate can govern themselves properly, the Canton Council on Aging sponsored a forum on the all-important last event of our lives: the act of dying. Dr. Marcia Angell, who teaches medical ethics at Harvard School of Medicine and is a leading proponent of this bill, says that the […]
Dear Editor: When 45 years ago we chose to bring up our three children in the charming town of Canton, it was because of the “country like” living with lots of open space. Through the years we have seen many open fields disappear and the trees come down so that by the time my grandson […]
Political yard signs encouraging, not ‘trashy’ Dear Editor: I must respectfully disagree with the recent letter to the editor decrying the presence of political signs that have popped up in yards around town.
