Canterbury residents showed grit Saturday morning at their Town Meeting, which was postponed in March because of COVID and held near a ball field outside the town’s elementary school.
More than 100 citizens sat in folding chairs under a wind-whipped Three-Ring Circus-sized tent as papers blew through the air and microphones occasionally quit working.
During 90 chilly minutes, the town expanded on two distinct topics: Raises for town employees and raises for anyone earning less than $14.99 an hour.
