Annual Spring Trash Bash
The Morrow County Health Department once again is sponsoring the Annual Trash Bash in April. Members from several 4-H groups and township volunteers have already walked the township roads and picked up the litter that has accumulated over the winter months. The trustees send a big thanks to all who helped and to residents who pick up litter and maintain the roadsides near their homes. That extra effort is very much appreciated as it reduces the cost and time for mowing the township roads.

Township Building Available to Canaan Township Groups
The township office building is available to township residents wishing a place for a meeting of
a club, group, or family get-together. The building
will accommodate approximately 30-35 people, and there are limited facilities for preparation of light refreshments. There is no charge to township residents for the use of the facility. You can reserve the building by contacting any of the township officials.

Rules for New Driveway Culverts

At the July 8, 2002, meeting of the Canaan Board of Trustees it was decided to adopt the following rules concerning the installation of new driveway culverts:

1. Driveway culverts must be 8 inches in diameter (or larger) and at least 30 feet long.

2. Canaan Township will no longer provide stone for new driveways.

Some residents have asked about filling in the ditches in front of their homes. A ditch must be deep enough to accommodate a tile measuring six (6) inches or larger in diameter to allow water to run-off roadways effectively. The trustees should be contacted for inspection before any such project on a township road is initiated.
