The Canfield City Council meeting on October 1, 2025, kicked off with a strong sense of community spirit, highlighted by a heartfelt acknowledgment of the recent "Back the Blue" event. Mayor Dragish expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support received from residents and local police, noting that the event raised an impressive $5,000 for the family of Officer Wagner, who is based in Lorraine.

The Mayor emphasized the unity displayed by the community, stating, "It was amazing how the community came together once again." The event exceeded expectations, with donations far surpassing the initial goal of ten items, totaling around 100 contributions. This outpouring of support not only showcased the city's commitment to its law enforcement but also highlighted the collaborative spirit of Canfield residents.

In addition to the commendation for the Back the Blue event, the meeting proceeded smoothly with no proclamations or presentations on the agenda. The council members approved the minutes from the previous meeting without any objections, maintaining a focus on community engagement and support.

The Mayor's remarks underscored the importance of community involvement and the role of local events in fostering connections among residents and their police force. As Canfield continues to rally around its officers, the council looks forward to future initiatives that strengthen these bonds.
