City of Canton

At last night's Commission Meeting it was decided that if you have Ash Trees on your boulevard that need to be picked up this weekend, please call city hall to be put on a pickup list. If you are interested in volunteering this weekend, please be at the shop by 7:00 am on Saturday June 8th. Also, the private Ash Tree agenda item has been moved to the July 1st Commission Meeting.

City crews will be spraying for mosquitoes tonight, Monday June 3rd.

Ash Tree Volunteer City Wide Clean-up is this coming weekend, June 7th, 8th, and 9th. This will consist of picking up logs, and limbs larger than 6-inches. All cars need to be removed from the streets starting June 6th through June 10th.

The Canton Rec program will begin next Monday, June 3rd. It will be held primarily at Kennedy Park. A tentative schedule for the summer will be posted later this week. Kids should make sure to wear athletic shoes and comfortable clothes. With the weather getting warmer, it may also be a good idea to bring a water bottle. The first day of the program the kids won’t need to bring anything extra as we will be getting to know everyone and play some fun games. Once the schedule is posted, kids should bring baseball/softball gloves on days those activities are scheduled. The following is the day and times for each age group: 5/6 year olds- Monday/Wednesday from 9-10:30am 7/8 year olds- Monday/Wednesday from 10:30-12pm 9/10 year olds- Tuesday/Thursday from 9-10:30am 11/12 year olds- Tuesday/Thursday from 10:30-12pm

In conjunction with the Beaver Creek Project the cap that was placed last night did not hold. The water has been shut off between 9th and 13th Streets on South Bartlett, and between Bartlett and Pleasant on 11th and 12th Streets. Contractors do not have a time water will be restored. We apologize for any inconvenience.

SCAM ALERT! We received a call from a Canton resident saying she received a call from a person claiming to be the Canton Chief of Police, Dave Miller. The caller stated the number that showed up was 605-987-5612, which is the Canton Police Department's number however Dave Miller retired 5 years ago. The caller was aware of this and knew that it was a scam and ended the conversation. Never give out personal information if you are unsure of who you are talking to. Any questions or concerns, contact the Canton Police Department at 605-987-5612.
