Canton Borough has been informed by Penelec that there is an emergency situation that will require power to be shut down for most/all of Canton between 3:30 - 4:00 p.m. for between 1-2 hours. We will post more as we learn it.

Canton Borough now hosts a drive-in hotspot which can be accessed in front of the Borough Hall at 4 North Center Street. This hotspot can be reached from the parking spaces on Main Street or North Center Street. The hotspot is named "HomeworkHub". We would like to thank the Bradford County Department of Public Safety in coordination with PEMA and Information Technology Disaster Resources Center (ITDRC) for making this possible! The general idea for this is to allow for drive through wifi connections whereby students/families can park and download/upload the required assignments and move on.

Chief Seeley and the officers at the Canton Borough Police Department want to thank Hailey for her thoughtful snacks to help get us through our shifts!!! Such a kind gesture from a nice young lady! Hailey's card to the Department reads: Dear Canton Police Department, Thank you for serving our community. Also, thank you for doing your best, and keeping Canton, Pennsylvania safe. I hope you have a great day!! Then she added a statement that reads "A cop once told me "A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."

Tonight's Car Show is cancelled.
