State Representative Bill Galvin

I am pleased to share that the funds for the FY 2026 Firefighter Safety Equipment Grant have been awarded to local fire departments, including the Canton Fire Department. Canton received the $12,517 that was applied for. This funding will be used here and across the Commonwealth to purchase a wide variety of equipment that will make impactful improvements to the safety of our firefighters. Many fire departments will buy new protective gear, thermal imaging cameras, hazardous gas detectors, and personnel accountability systems. I am grateful that the Legislature and Healey-Driscoll Administration could work together to continue this important program.

Congratulations also to our state champion Canton High Golf Team, who won the MIAA state tournament in the fall! Canton is the town of champions!
