CANTON -- Recreation Director John Taillon has just retired, and Assemblywoman Addie A.E. Jenne, D-Theresa, stopped at the Canton Pavilion recently to present him with a citation recognizing him for his 30-year career leading the community's recreation and parks programs.
Friday, May 5 was his last day on the job.
The citation noted Taillon's tenure has been marked by significant improvements at the Canton Pavilion, Bend in the River Park and Taylor Park.
It also pointed out his instrumental role in bringing new programs to the community including the Adventures in Learning program, the Houli School of Basketball to the co-ed basketball league, and the adult volleyball program.
Taillon has also been an active member of the Canton community, where he is a fourth-degree member of the Canton Knights of Columbus and as an assistant softball and baseball coach at Canton High School.
