Dayna, North End Resident and Reader

“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.”

Kristina Santone

“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

Most of you know that the North End Breezes has been published since 1972; that is an impressive fifty-three years! While many publications have gone digital only, we continue to be one of the only neighbourhood papers still in print. Over the past few years, we have added many features to provide quality, informative news to our readers: four colour pages to enhance our ads and articles, an updated website to promote our information, increased social media content and most recently our online store to sell branded merchandise. These improvements were made to increase our ability to meet operational costs.

Like many other things, the printing costs have increased to just under $1100 per month. As a    volunteer run community paper, we rely on ad sales, Community Partners and donations from our readers to meet our costs. Unfortunately, our income is not meeting our expenses and at this time, more than ever we need your help to continue printing.

How can you help?

  • If you have an invoice, please pay it promptly within 15 days.
  • If you belong to a not-for-profit organization, consider becoming a Community Partner.
  • If you operate a business, consider advertising with us at reasonable rates.
  • If you can donate any amount please do. It costs just under $5 for each resident to receive their paper. You can donate by check, e-transfer or credit card. Please see details on our web site or give me a call.
  • If you’re proud to be a North Ender, consider purchasing a T-shirt, hoodie or any of our branded merchandise through our on-line store or in person.

Without your help, we risk being able to publish and will have to consider an online only option which leaves many of our residents without access to their community news. Our hope is that we can do what North Enders do best and come together as a community to support each other.

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