Happy weekend! The November issues are making their way to mailboxes. I can’t wait for you to read it.

Inside there is the story of Paul & Suzanne and how they are making the world a better place, there is an article on the Fall Leaf collection, an article about skating this winter, and a business profile on one of our long term sponsors, Precise Vision. PLUS the regular goodies, such as the recipe, word search, calendar of events and our beloved pet corner.

Earlier today I dropped off copies at the local spots and a new one (Cypriannas Pizzeria, The Bishop's Brew Cafe, Hespeler Heritage Centre and now the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 272 Hespeler) and it is online as well (DM me for link) and one is being put into circulation at the Cambridge Public Library.

Happy reading!

🎄 Christmas is coming! Don’t let your business miss out!

Although I’m excited that November’s issue will be hitting mailboxes any day now, I’m already working on December’s edition RIGHT NOW!

And here’s my question: Who loves Hespeler? ❤️

If your business does, why not show it while getting your business in front of approximately 4,000 Hespeler households during the Christmas season?

Whether you’re looking for a one-off advertisement, want to become one of our regular supporters, or are interested in becoming an Expert Contributor, there are plenty of ways to get involved!

And that’s just the magazine. We have some powerful online advertising opportunities too!

So today is the day. Happy voting, Hespeler. You get your input on who you want to represent you for the word you live in and the city as well.

If you haven’t decided who gets your vote yet, I had the pleasure of interviewing ALL of the candidates wanting to represent Hespeler. You can watch the videos here.

Happy voting, and hopefully a happy Hespeler and Cambridge for the next four years.

It is Advanced Voting Day at the Hespeler Arena today!

If you don’t know who to vote for, you can watch this “quick” little video I shot where I had the honour and pleasure of interviewing ALL 6 candidates. (Ok. The video is 6h44 long. LOL!!! Thank goodness for 1.5/2 times speed???)

Anyhow watch who you want to, and there are also links out to the individual interviews as well with the questions asked and timelines.

Make an informed decision whilst voting.

Happy watching!

WARD 1 INTERVIEWS This was uploaded a little later than I hoped, but it is now LIVE. Grab your popcorn and watch to learn more about the candidates expressing interest in Ward 1.

WARD 2 CANDIDATE INTERVIEWS

Hespeler is Home has now released interviews with all four candidates running for Ward 2 Councillor in the 2026 Cambridge Municipal Election:

David Craig
Mike Devine
Mark Linton
Matt Rogers

The Cambridge Elects Town Hall was fantastic, and these interviews aren’t intended to replace it. Instead, the goal was to complement it by giving each candidate more time to talk specifically about Hespeler, their background, what they hope to accomplish and what they would bring to City Council.

Each candidate was asked essentially the same core questions, along with two questions specific to their own background or experience.

Watch all four interviews here:

Take some time to get to know the candidates, learn about the issues and make your own informed decision.

And most importantly, vote (if you can)!
