Niagara animal welfare group partners with Hendriks Independent for summer fundraiser
Let Pets Live has worked to protect the lives and welfare of pets in Niagara for 15 years — and this year, a local business is joining the effort. Hendriks Your Independent Grocer on Queen Street is running a fundraiser in support of Let Pets Live until July 24. Ahead of the charity's annual August fundraiser, the grocer is offering customers the option to add $2 to their grocery bill to support animal welfare initiatives. Ginny Taylor, who has partnered with Let Pets Live since 2020, said the collaboration started with Jane Dagg, the Shaw Festival's donor relations director, who has been involved with the charity since the COVID-19 pandemic. 'Jane Dagg knew Tony at Independent,' Taylor said. 'She said, 'I knew he's done stuff like this before,' and we just went to see him and he was super, he said, 'Absolutely.'' Let Pets Live is a Niagara-on-the-Lake-based fundraising organization founded by Ria Rosenberg and her husband, Steven Levy. Since 2011, the organization has hosted an annual golf tournament and auction to raise money for animal welfare causes. 'I think I was born with it,' Rosenberg said, referring to her love of animals. The idea for Let Pets Live came while she was living in California. Having previously worked in public relations, Rosenberg was inspired by a client who ran an annual golf fundraiser and decided to apply the concept to animal rights. Since its inception, Let Pets Live has raised more than $500,000. Major beneficiaries include Niagara Action for Animals' SNIP Program and the Community Animal Allies of Niagara. Funds typically go toward services such as low-cost spay and neuter programs, emergency veterinary care, general care and animal shelters. Taylor said one of the organization's strengths is its low overhead. 'We don't have any admin fees,' she said. 'Every single dollar we raise goes straight to animals.' The partnership with Hendriks marks a new milestone for the group, which hopes to engage more businesses in future initiatives alongside its annual golf tournament and auction. 'Getting businesses involved, that's how we're going to take this to the next level,' Taylor said. 'For Hendricks stepping up and being our pilot program this year, hopefully will open the door for us this year. We hope to do this with many businesses, not just Hendricks.' This year's Annual Golf Tournament takes place Aug. 24 at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club. Registration details can be found here . daniel@ Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

Veteran Reeza Hendricks eyeing Proteas future despite youth surge
Reeza Hendricks is determined to extend his international career despite the influx of young talent in the national set-up. Photo: BackpagePix Image: Backpagepix Reeza Hendricks will celebrate his 36th birthday next month, but the veteran Proteas batter is not ready to fade quietly into the background just yet. Named in the squad for the upcoming T20 Tri-Series in Harare, alongside fellow senior Rassie van der Dussen, Hendricks forms part of a transitional South African side that also features rising stars such as 19-year-old Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 22-year-old Dewald Brevis and 23-year-old Nqaba Peter. It will be Conrad's first assignment since taking over as South Africa's all-format head coach following Rob Walter's resignation earlier this year. But with a youthful squad signalling a changing of the guard, questions inevitably arise about the role of experienced players like Hendricks moving forward. Video Player is loading.

'To date, I haven't had a proper conversation with (Conrad) as to what the plans are and how he sees me fit in the plans,' he said. 'There's a World Cup around the corner, and my aspirations would be to try to get to it. But I don't know what plans he has in mind and the players he's looking for.' Despite the lack of clarity, Hendricks remains committed to his own path, stating he still feels fit, hungry and capable of contributing at the highest level. Proteas Men's head coach Shukri Conrad has named a 14-player squad for the upcoming T20 International (T20I) tri-series against hosts Zimbabwe and New Zealand, set to take place in Harare from 14 - 26 July. Rassie van der Dussen will captain the side, which features four maiden… — Proteas Men (@ProteasMenCSA) June 26, 2025 "I'm definitely in the latter part of my career now. But I do believe I can still play for quite a few more years, whether it be for the national team, domestic T20s, or whatever the case may be," he said. 'If everything goes according to plan – performances, body and all those types of things – I can push for another five years at least. You see guys playing to 40 nowadays. I don't know how old Faf (du Plessis) is – I think 41 – but I know it's doable.' That longevity, however, depends largely on Hendricks maintaining peak physical condition. The right-hander has been hard at work on his fitness and training in preparation for what promises to be a challenging series in Zimbabwe. 'Age is not really on my side anymore. My main priority is to stay on top of my fitness level. That's what I've been doing — gym and all that — and then hitting balls and training in that regard these last couple of weeks,' he said. Reeza Century Reactions!😱 The Proteas team shared their reactions to Reeza Hendricks first T20i century in last night's thrilling 7-wicket victory over Pakistan.🏏😮💨🤗 Safe to say they are just as stoked about it as he was!😁#WozaNawe #BePartOfIt #SAvPAK — Proteas Men (@ProteasMenCSA) December 14, 2024
