“We thank our signature sponsors Tina Hubicki and Lee Caswell of Bosley Real Estate Ltd. and our other community sponsors for their generous support,” says Nancy Oliver, Chair of the Special Events Committee, and member of the Ed’s House Foundation Board.  We hope the community will come out and join us in support of hospice services that aid not only individuals and their families throughout community but also the residents and families that access care at Ed’s House.”  

“Giving back to our community is always top of mind for us so when asked if we would once again be a part of this very necessary cause, there was never a doubt we wouldn’t say yes,” said signature sponsors Lee Caswell and Tina Hubicki of Bosley Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage. “We are so honoured to support all of the amazing work that takes place at Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre.”
