Give Back to Canton

Many of us who grew up in Can­ton, or moved here later in life, have a special affinity for this community. Perhaps it was an inspiring teacher; or success in sports, drama, or music; or perhaps fond memories of the Sugar Bowl, Billy's or the Canton Club; or maybe all the small-town advantages. Whatever the reason, we have a warm spot in our hearts for Canton and for what this part of the North Country has meant to us.

 

 

 

During recent years, many projects have been undertaken to benefit the Canton area: the Pavilion, the playground at the high school, the fountain in the park, Main Street Historical District restorations, the his­toric murals, Victorian street lamps, the recreational path around Partridge Run Golf Course and tree planting on village streets.

 

 

 

These projects were successful because individuals and organizations contributed unselfishly of their time and money, and of this we can be proud. We know that the future will be new and equally desirable pro­jects for the betterment of Canton, and we wish to provide for them.

 

 

The Canton Community Fund has been established to receive gifts form individuals wanting to express their gratitude for what Canton has meant to them. Donations to Canton fund will enable them to give back to Canton and ensure that Canton remains an attractive and vibrant place to live and work
