"For a slice of the quieter life, consider Canby. Near the confluence of the Willamette and Molalla Rivers, residents of this burg of 17,000 tend to hold on to their homes.

Canby tabbed a top safe city for state
"Canby Police Chief Bret Smith considered how a study ranking Canby the second-, or seventh- or 12th-safest mid-sized city in Oregon helps people or business considering relocation to make pragmatic decisions about Canby. "Certainly, I think receiving this ranking is a positive thing, because it promotes people's interest and desire to move to Canby to raise their families and businesses to invest here," Smith said. "I think the City of Canby has done a good job in providing and maintaining helpful physical characteristics that have a positive and direct impact on the community's perceptions of safety and their willingness to participate in our community."

"For those who say that nobody uses libraries anymore, recent statistics provided to the city of Canby by the Canby Public Library show the opposite to be true. "The evidence shows that even though many Americans profess to have the feeling that it's all iPads and iPhones now, so there is no use for (libraries)," Canby City Councilor Tracie Heidt said, "I think it's a good education for people that libraries really are becoming community centers."
