The bank was founded in 1891, according to a community announcement, and has continued operating under its original name. President and CEO Nick Maffeo, a Canton native, said its original mission focused on helping local residents buy homes. “In 1891, the first president of Canton Co-operative - Ephraim Thorndike - promised that Canton Co-operative would be the ‘easiest and safest place to borrow’ with the goal of helping local people get ‘homes, happiness and independence.’ Today we still help local people buy homes, and much more,” Maffeo said. Canton Co-operative is an independent mutual community bank rather than a stock bank. “Customers come first with us, not stockholders or Wall Street,” Maffeo said. Longtime Canton Co-operative employees recognized The bank is recognizing several current and former employees for their years of service.

Perched on a ladder 20 feet in the air, Gina Purtell uses a rake to clear trash, leaves, and built-up bird excrement from the top of an osprey nest. The nest, a manmade box on stilts lodged in the marshes of the Westport River, is little more than an AirBnb for the migratory osprey that furnish it each spring and summer.
