Present commercial and industrial enterprises play a key role in the town's fiscal stability and are considered a major asset of the community. The prime commercial area is well located so as to allow direct highway access without affecting the community's small town charm. Canton provides a high level of municipal services to its residents, including an excellent library, school system and recreation programs. Many of the town's lakes, ponds and wetlands have been protected and preserved for present enjoyment and future generations.

Among the protected areas are the Eleanor Cabot Bradley Reservation, an 82 acre estate that blends open fields, woodlands and gardens in the shadow of Great Blue Hill, and Pequitside Farm, a town-owned 38 acre conservation and recreation area which offers hiking, picnicking and cross country skiing. Residents feel that the natural beauty of these areas combined with the numerous town sponsored spring and summer recreation programs make a very special statement of what Canton is like.

Canton Massachusetts is located in Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Sharon and Stoughton on the south; Randolph and Milton on the east and northeast; Dedham, Westwood, and Norwood on the west; and Boston on the north. Canton is 11 miles northwest of Brockton and 17 miles south of Boston.
