Dear Editor: I have always believed that “government is run by those who show up.” It’s important to show up to the April 3 town election despite the fact there is only one contested seat on this year’s ballot. That’s because we have the opportunity to approve the Community Preservation Act (CPA). Canton has numerous […]
Dear Editor: Canton is a hidden jewel in many respects. We are blessed with breathtakingly beautiful open natural areas for hiking, cycling, golfing and boating. Canton claims archaeologically important Signal Hill, Ponkapoag Pond, the Bradley Estate, the Brookwood Community Farm, and the picturesque Blue Hills. In recent years we have wisely protected recreational open space […]
Dear Editor: I would like to respond to some of the inaccuracies that surfaced at last week’s Board of Selectmen’s meeting — and subsequently appeared in the Canton Citizen — regarding the construction of a solar park on the former town landfill on Pine Street. First and foremost, the project is absolutely under investigation by […]
Dear Canton voters: I ask that you support approval of the Community Preservation Act (CPA) on Election Day, April 3. As a member of the Canton Historical Commission, I have a particular interest in using CPA funds to finance historic preservation projects. To be clear, the views expressed in this letter are mine, rather than […]
Dear Editor: I am writing in response to a recent article about CABI’s opposition to the Community Preservation Act (CPA), which will be put to town voters for approval on April 3. I appreciate what local businesses do for our town, and as a former local owner of a small business, I am sympathetic to […]
Dear neighbors: I will vote “Yes” to adopt the Community Preservation Act (CPA) at our upcoming town election because I love the quality of life in our town. And particularly during these tough economic times, it makes good fiscal sense to take advantage of this law to help communities take back control and decision making […]
Dear Editor: On Saturday, February 11, the Canton Association of Parents and Teachers at the Dean S. Luce Elementary School held its “FunRaiser for Education” at the Knights of Columbus. One of the goals of the Luce CAPT is to raise money to fund items that aren’t typically within the school department budget. This year’s “FunRaiser” […]
Dear Editor: This is a long overdue thank you to express our deepest gratitude to Brian and Kirsten Fitzgerald of Dockray & Thomas Funeral Home. Fifteen years ago this month, we lost our sweet baby girl Angelica to a horrific disease called spinal muscular atrophy. She was just shy of nine months old. We numbingly […]
Dear Editor: The Kennedy Elementary School held its annual Winter Fling carnival on Saturday, February 11. This event is an important fundraiser for the JFK CAPT (Canton Alliance of Parents and Teachers), which funds enrichment activities such as field trips and programs at the school. We would like to thank everyone who played a part […]
Dear Editor: All of us at Living the Dream Auto Care, Father Bill’s & Mainspring, and Allied Auto Parts want to send out a great big thank you! Because of our current guests, new guests, and the shear generosity of the community, our “Free Brakes for Food” promotion was a huge success. There were even […]
