duce a goldfishbowl fromnowhere.

served children replied to say thank you to
the Canton Goodfellows for, “making my kids'
Christmas a wonderful experience. I cried
tears of joy because of all of the beautiful
gifts. My 4-year-old's first remark when he
came down the stairs was 'What the heck!' I
wish we had a video of the look of amaze-
ment that filled his face. All of my kids said
that this was the best Christmas ever! Thank
you to everyone who played a part in making
this Christmas formy family.”

With hunting season arriving,
hunters and residents of Canton
Township are reminded that
Canton is divided into areas
that are classified as either
closed or restricted for hunting.
In areas designated as closed,
hunting is prohibited. This
includes the entire eastern side
of Canton, and a small area in
the northwestern area of the
township. In the majority of
western Canton, hunting has
been designated as restricted,
with two different types of
restrictions. In a small portion
of the northwestern corner of
Canton, hunting with or the dis-
charge of a shotgun loaded with
shot not larger than No. 6, is
permitted fromOct. 20 toMarch
1. For the majority of the west-
ern side, hunting with a firearm
is unlawful except with a shot-
gun; a rimfire rifle or handgun,
.22 caliber or smaller; a conven-
tional (smokeless powder)
handgun single- or multiple-
shot using a straight walled car-
tridge only; a muzzle loading
rifle, shotgun, or black powder
handgun or discharge of a
firearm for target shooting
while using a recognizable tar-
get.
In restricted areas, verbal
permission from the property
owner is required for hunting to
be permitted. In addition,
Michigan Safety Zone State
Law provides that a person will
not hunt or discharge a firearm
within 150 yards of an occupied
building, dwelling, house, resi-
dence, cabin, barn or any other
type of building used in con-
junction with farm operations,
without obtaining written per-
mission of the owner, renter or
occupant of the property.
Careless and reckless discharge
of a firearm is a misdemeanor,
punishable by 90 days in jail
and/or a $500 fine.
The
Canton
Police
Department will strictly enforce
all state and local hunting ordi-
nances for the 2017 hunting sea-
son. A map of Canton hunting
restrictions and the ordinance
are available for viewing at
