“I look forward to the always-prompt delivery of the next edition to my mailbox, and to receiving the email alerting me to its availability! I so appreciate that there remains a local community paper at a time when so many others have ceased publication. It’s been a great introduction to the North End!”

“I love the setup of North End Breezes. What an exciting newspaper! It is creative, informative and dynamic with real life stories that others can relate. If only it went further than Ward 2. Imagine all who would read it. Thanks again”

Marie Mushing, People In Connection

“As an advertiser with the NEB, I am pleased to be supporting and involved with this community newspaper. In the past 10 months my ad has generated new clients and I am very pleased that people are using local business owners.”

“Being a part of the North End Breezes board for the past two years has been a privilege. The team does amazing work within the community and serves as a resource hub for all. They are committed, and most importantly, passionate about preserving the North End’s legacy, while also continuing to foster its growth. Whether you are new to the area, or a longtime resident, I encourage you to volunteer with the Breezes in some capacity if you’re able. This team is small but mighty and they are always looking for more support. I’m grateful for the relationships and community I’ve been able to build while serving on the board.

I’ll be joining Welcome Inn as the Executive Director and look forward to taking on a new role in the North End Community while staying connected to The Breezes. “

Letter from the Editor
By Brenda Duke

I don’t know about you but I’m busy trying to get all the summer projects wrapped up because we can feel fall in the air.

The Breezes has been busy too! Our local historian, Brian Roulston, has come up with a fascinating new idea! We’ll be adding a column written by him that is aimed at seniors and kids talking about every day science. Not quantum physics or nuclear fission. And yes, knowing Brian, there will be a little sprinkle of history. Please check out our new column “Prof. Rowr (pronounced Roar)”

You will notice in this edition that Welcome Inn is doing a “Wellness Walk” fundraiser on October 4, 2025. The Breezes is all about community and supporting local so we’ve decided to move the date for the North Ender of the Year Awards Presentation so more people can join the Welcome Inn Walkathon. We’ll announce the new date for the Awards Presentation once we’ve confirmed the details.

I’m reminded by Sheri Selway, our volunteer distribution lead, of the value our volunteers bring to the Breezes. Please check her article in this edition and accept our sincere thanks. If you’d like to join in for a few hours, there are lots of opportunities.

We’re excited to add Kelly Noseworthy to our Board of Directors in a Marketing and Promotions Role. Kelly brings a wealth of expertise to our team. Stay tuned for her Bio on our website www.northendbreezes.com

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.
