“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. “

KARIE MEDICATION REMINDER DEVICE

Mar 29, 2018 | Community News |

May I tell you about a wonderful product called Karie, developed in Guelph Ontario. Karie is an automated medication management system for use at home. Pills are pre-loaded at the pharmacy (just like the bubblepacks) and the pouch is inserted into the dispenser. Dispenser is plugged into the wall…the device ‘reads’ the pouches and when it is time to take your medication, it reminds you by sounding a chime and lighting up. It can be programmed to notifiy (via text/email) a caregiver or family member if you don’t take your medication. Developed by AceAge Inc. in Guelph, the company sees many applications for use, but most especially for Seniors living at home who need a reminder to take their meds-and provide peace of mind to a family member by contacting them if the meds are not taken. What a wonderful idea-we will be seeing this in smart homes everywhere-genius! xo
