Canton Police Department Celebrates New Training Facility with CCMG Ribbon Cutting

We are overjoyed to share that the ribbon cutting for the 6th Annual Chris Conti Memorial Grant (CCMG) was a truly special occasion. Each year, the CCMG honors the life and legacy of Chris Conti by providing a complete gym training facility to an organization that exemplifies wellness, service, and community dedication. This initiative not only promotes physical health but also celebrates the spirit of giving back—something Chris held dear.

For 2025, the Canton Police Department has been selected as this year’s recipient. The grant provided a fully outfitted, on-site gym, giving officers immediate access to commercial-grade strength and cardio equipment designed to support their wellness, resilience, and long-term health. This facility is more than just a space to train—it’s a symbol of our community’s commitment to those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving others.

The ribbon cutting ceremony was filled with energy, gratitude, and pride. It was heartwarming to see officers, community members, and supporters gather to celebrate this milestone. For the men and women of the Canton Police Department, this gym represents more than equipment—it represents care, recognition, and an investment in their wellbeing and performance.

The CCMG is about more than awards; it’s about legacy. It’s about carrying forward Chris Conti’s vision of strengthening communities by supporting the people who dedicate their lives to service. Each facility we provide tells a story of wellness, teamwork, and hope—reminding us that investing in others leaves a lasting impact that goes beyond walls and weights.

We encourage everyone to share the CCMG and help identify organizations that could benefit from next year’s grant. Together, we can continue to honor Chris’s memory by empowering more teams, improving wellness, and fostering stronger, healthier communities.

And the 6th Annual CCMG Winner Is… Canton Police Department We’re proud to announce that the Canton Police Department has been selected as the 2025 recipient of the Chris Conti Memorial Grant. Now in its sixth year, the CCMG honors the legacy of Chris Conti by supporting organizations that promote wellness, community, and service. This year’s winner reflects all of those values. With the grant, the Canton PD will receive a new fitness center— helping officers stay strong, healthy, and ready to serve. It’s a small way to give back to those who give so much. We’ll be celebrating this milestone with a ribbon cutting ceremony at the beginning of November — and we’d love for you to join us. Stay tuned for the official date and details. Congratulations to the Canton Police Department — we’re excited to partner with you.
