Dear Editor: I have lived in the same home in Canton for all my years. When I decided to downsize, I wished to remain in Canton among dear friends and a rich life rooted in this community. To say it’s been a struggle to find a suitable place to live is an understatement. My needs […]
Dear Editor: At the May 22 annual town meeting, Canton voters will decide whether to authorize the Select Board to start the process for Municipal Energy Aggregation. The Canton Sustainability Committee supports energy aggregation and urges voters to attend town meeting to vote ‘Yes.’ Energy aggregation allows a town to use its bulk purchasing power […]
Dear Editor: I am hoping to be elected as this year’s moderator for Canton’s annual town meeting. ATM is scheduled to be held on Saturday, May 22, at 12:30 p.m. The plan is for it to last until all business has been concluded. Town leaders are working hard to plan a safe and efficient meeting. […]
Dear Editor: As a fairly new resident of Canton, I am appalled at the amount of trash I see along roadsides in our town. Route 138 is one I travel often and any trash dropped beside the road simply seems to stay there. Another eyesore is when I am getting off the freeway at Exit […]

Dear Editor: I was disappointed to read MAC’s most recent column on “cancel culture.” Of all the examples of cancel culture he gave, none of these products have actually been cancelled. Being cancelled would imply that someone/something was completely de-platformed, stripped of their power, shunned from society, and no longer allowed to profit, and usually […]
Editor’s note: This letter did not appear in print due to space constraints. All candidate letters received between now and election day will be posted at thecantoncitizen.com. Dear Editor: I urge Canton residents to cast your Select Board vote for Reuki Schutt on April 6. I met Reuki almost 20 years ago, when she was […]
Dear Editor: You might be surprised to learn that the Massachusetts legislature is one of the most secretive in the country. In a 2015 study of all 50 state legislatures, the Center for Public Integrity gave the Massachusetts state government a D+ grade on transparency and an F grade on public access to information. Each […]
Dear Editor: The Trustees and the Friends of the Canton Public Library wish to thank the staff of the library. From the time that the COVID pandemic struck, this dedicated team has worked tirelessly to continue to make resources and programs available to the public in a safe and accessible way. They have created weekday […]
