Canton Recreation Department

Agency and Placement Location: Canton Pavillion, 90 Lincoln Street, Canton, NY 13617 

Transportation: Need Own Transportation, this means that CBL did not automatically reserve a SLU vehicle. Therefore, it is the student’s responsibility to access available resources to secure transportation. In these cases, a placement site is considered within walking/biking distance, or is within five miles of campus. Here are some alternative transportation options to consider: use a personal car that you are an insured driver for, walk, or bike. In some cases, it is possible to reserve a university vehicle from the regular fleet. *Contingent on its availability, students may also be able to reserve the CBL van. In order to utilize this form of transportation, students MUST complete SLU's Driver Certification training. The CBL office does not endorse the idea of students carpooling in personal vehicles. It is especially important that students understand the risks associated with carpooling. Carpooling should only be considered after all other options have been exhausted; when carpooling is necessary, both the driver and any riders must complete transportation waivers.

Mission: "The Canton Recreation Department is a shared service of the Town and Village of Canton that strives to provide inclusive, affordable, accessible recreational services for all Canton residents. The Department maintains several parks and playgrounds, including Taylor Park Beach and the Canton Recreational Pavilion Ice Arena. Additionally, the Recreation Department offers various programs year-round to deliver recreation opportunities for residents of all ages.
