Courage, care, and the power of women guarding women.

Joanne Burton, a 30+ year HSN team member, is an 18-year breast cancer survivor. Thanks to early detection, the expertise of Dr. Brulé, and the support of her guardian angel Sam, Joanne’s life was saved. Today, she’s a proud advocate for screening and early detection.

In honour of her journey, the Burton Family Foundation donated $5,000 to the HSN Foundation. Their gift supports the donor-funded MOLLI localization system, helping make breast cancer procedures less invasive and recovery faster—bringing hope and advanced care close to home.

It’s hard to believe we’re already one year in.🦋

As the BFF Board, we’ve spent a lot of time this past year listening, learning, connecting, and getting to know the incredible people and organizations doing important work across Northern Ontario.

What has stayed with us most is seeing how one opportunity can lead to another. A young person gets the chance to try something new. An artist gets the chance to share their craft. A community organization has the support to bring an idea to life. And from there, something else takes shape.

That’s the butterfly effect.

It’s the little things that can set bigger things in motion — and we feel incredibly lucky to have had a front-row seat to some of those moments this past year.

We’re grateful to everyone who has welcomed BFF into their work, shared their ideas, opened doors, and helped us understand where support can make a difference.

And we’re already well into year two, with lots happening and lots to look forward to.

We’re excited to continue showing up, supporting arts and culture in the North, and seeing where the ripple takes us.

🤍BFF
