Neighbours of Hespeler Village - Best Version Media

10/17/2026

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!

All six candidates for Mayor of Cambridge. One video. Over the past...

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. I like all of them, they all have a desire to make the Ward better and all bring their experiences, skills and knowledge to the table. Now it is YOUR turn to decide who will get your vote.
Happy watching!

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)!

What's going on? You can now find it all... in one place... online!

The Hespeler is Home website now has just about every local event I’ve been able to find, bringing together the calendar of events from Neighbours of Hespeler Village and more events I’ve tracked down online.

There’s a lot happening in this community, and I want to make it easier for you to find it, get out, and enjoy it. 😊

Have a event you’d like to promote? Local businesses and community organizations can submit their events through the online form on the website.

Have several events? Message me and I’ll send you a spreadsheet you can fill out so you don’t have to submit them one at a time!

Take a look, bookmark it for later, and share it with someone who’s always asking, “What’s going on in Hespeler?”

Happy September everyone!! Now that the summer is winding up, and some of my other events for “Hespeler is Home” is now over, it is time to “return to my first love.”

It was THIS magazine that brought me to Hespeler and I have to say I am really proud of it.

If you love Hespeler, own a business and want to get in front of people while giving back to your community, let’s connect. In addition to the magazine I can help with your online presence and also digital ads too!

Drop me a line and let’s chat! I’m working on October’s issue presently!

(ALSO, I am so pleased to have the Nash family on the cover of this month’s magazine. They are such wonderful people and Bev and more recently Madisyn have been such blessings to my life and business. So happy to share their story with you. I hope you enjoy it!)

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Hespeler is home family fun day posted at Jamison Estate Plaza. We were really overwhelmed with the support and by the people who came here. Lots of smiles, and perhaps too much candy.

Anyhow, some sponsors were super generous and gave us some amazing things. Here is Us doing the draw for the lucky winners.
