Letter from the Editor
By Brenda Duke
It’s been an exciting and busy few months doing what I love; joining the community and celebrating summer. We topped off the summer festivities with the North End Reunion, North Ender of the Year Awards and celebrated our Volunteers.
The Reunion, organized by Maureen Scally and her team, put together food, entertainment and the perfect gathering space, Macassa Bay Yacht Club. It was especially meaningful to me to see long-time friends meeting up and welcoming new neighbours.
The North Ender of the Year Awards has been organized by The Breezes and North End Neighbourhood Association for the last few years to carry on a tradition began over 25 years ago. I always say it’s like trying to pick your favourite child; you really just love them all. The commitment and advocacy of North Enders began many years ago and makes the North End what it is: a place you love and always carry in your heart.
