Letter from the Editor - October 2025
By Brenda Duke

I know that in the past, I’ve mentioned our need for funding to cover our operational costs, but now, I need to reiterate that need. At this point, there is talk of suspending the paper until we can raise money to cover those costs. Like me, many of you believe in the Breezes and want to see it continue to publish. We’ve come such a long way over the past 52 years. We aren’t just a paper; we are the link to community, to social media, on line shopping and to connecting and sharing our history.

If you are able to make a donation, it would help sustain us while we develop new marketing strategies. At this time, we are not able to offer a tax receipt but we hope to resolve that issue in the short term. You can send your donations by e-transfer to office@northendbreezes.com or mail to 46 Fullerton Avenue, Hamilton. As always, feel free to call me at 289-933-4810.

We believe it’s important to recognize and honour our residents who build our community so The North Ender of the Year Awards will be held on October 18, 2025. Feel free to join us at James Baptist Church on October 18^th from 11am to 1pm to support the nominees.

There’s still a need for a secretary and a treasurer if you want to join our Board of Directors,  It’s not a huge time commitment; one meeting per month for two hours. The Board is looking at restructuring and firming up policies and procedures so perhaps your work or life experience would be an asset. It’s a great way to help out in a different way. Please send a resume outlining your skills to office@northendbreezes.com

As always, reach out to me by email or by phone at 289-933-4810 if you have any questions.
