The Chamber Holiday Party on Monday, December 6th, at Char Koon 1800 was well attended and Gifts for Canton received a large number of gifts and donations from attendees.

Thank you to Char Koon 1800 for preparing a variety of delicious food and being such wonderful hosts.   The raffle prizes donations were excellent again this year.  Our members were generous as usual and deserve our sincere appreciation.  Thank you to Ann Gagnon and her many helpers for all the work they do for Gifts for Canton.

The Annual Kick-Off happens on January 11th at the Canton Barn.  See details below with the link to register.  This event is especially important for new and prospective members as well as our 280 current members.  All of the Chamber committees will have representatives available to talk with you.  We have many committed and active members who make our organization successful.  The Kick-Off is a great time to learn to join in on Chamber activities and committees.  I hope to see all of you between 5:00 and 8:00 PM.

Gary Miller,
Canton Chamber of Commerce President

One of the core missions of the Canton Police Department is community policing.  The partnership between the community, businesses, government, schools, media and law enforcement plays an integral role in reducing crime and improving the overall quality of life.

To ensure this philosophy is supported, the Canton Police Department will host "Coffee with the Cops" on the first Thursday of each month.  All members of the Canton community - residents, businesses, government officials and media - are invited to attend.

Share your thoughts, concerns, suggestions and questions on how the Canton Police Department can best serve our community. Light refreshments will be provided.
