CANTON -- At its September meeting, the Canton Community Fund (CCF) elected Neal Burdick as its new president and awarded three grants.
A North Country native who has lived in Canton since 1977, Burdick recently retired as senior writer/editor at St. Lawrence University, where he continues to co-teach an advanced writing course. Burdick is also a member of the boards of Traditional Arts in Upstate New York (TAUNY), Friends of Owen D. Young and Launders Libraries at SLU, and Azure Mountain Friends.
The CCF board also includes Mary Ann Ashley, Christopher Rediehs, Barbara Beekman, John Casserly, Dwight Stevenson, Louis Tremaine, Brett Thacher, Lenore Vanderzee and John Vose.
The Deep Root Center for Self-Directed Learning was awarded $1,560 for the purchase of a computer tablet and software.
In partnership with the Village of Canton, the Complete Streets Task Force was awarded $1,300 for the installation of a bicycle repair station in the Village Park.
The Canton Free Library was awarded $2,000 toward much-needed repairs to its Paige Room floor.
The CCF is currently encouraging representatives of non-profit groups and organizations serving the Town and Village of Canton to apply for grants to further their work.
