Barb Edwards, one of the first members of the Beasley Neighbourhood Association and a founding member of the Beasley Badger newsletter has recently passed away. Her spirit helped get the Beasley Neighbourhood Association off of the ground and helped it develop into what it is today.

A time of remembrance will be held at Dodsworth & Brown, 15 West Ave., Hamilton on Saturday, January 14, 2012 from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. with service in the chapel at 3 p.m.

The Hamilton Bulldogs Hockey Club and the Bulldogs Foundation, in coordination with the City of Hamilton, launched the Hamilton Bulldogs Skate The Dream program to break the barriers preventing local children from learning to skate and playing hockey.

The pilot project, which will be based out of Eastwood Arena in Hamilton’s North end, is an opportunity for up to 100 children between the ages of 6 to 10 to participate in a learn-to-skate program combined with a 3-on-3 learn-to-play hockey introductory program. Hamilton native and Stanley Cup champion Ric Nattress is the Honorary Chair of the program, and will also be providing on-ice instruction.
