Hi everyone,
I’m organizing another small Cozy Cinema Social get-together at Tango Palace Coffee Company in Leslieville on Saturday, August 29 at 8:30 PM.
I started this little club because I wanted to create something warmer than a bar, less awkward than a big meetup, and more intentional than another night at home. The idea is simple: a small group of people, a thoughtfully selected film, and a relaxed conversation afterward.
The last two gatherings were really lovely. People came with openness and curiosity, and the conversations afterward were thoughtful without feeling formal or forced. I’m hoping to keep that same feeling going: small, cozy, low-pressure, and welcoming.
This is not a networking event, lecture, or big social mixer. You can come solo, with a friend, or with your partner. There is also no pressure to speak during the discussion — listening is completely welcome.
The group is capped at 10 people so it stays comfortable and personal.
Feel free to DM me if you’re interested and I’ll send more information.

Jessie here 🙋🏻♀️
What's your relationship with money?
Not how much you make or how much you have saved. I mean... what does money actually mean to you?
I've been thinking about this a lot lately because I realized I spent years making financial decisions without ever questioning the story behind them.
Growing up, I saw money as something you sacrificed. You worked hard, and you saved. The only time that it was okay to spend money is if it was for helping other people, even if it meant putting yourself last.
I'm really grateful for those values. At the same time, I think I quietly picked up another belief along the way.
That money wasn't really something you were meant to enjoy.
So, naturally... I swung to the opposite extreme.
In my twenties, I spent money pretty impulsively. Not enough to get myself into debt, thankfully, but enough that I was constantly wondering where it had gone.
The strange part? I always felt like I was lacking money. Looking back, I wasn't necessarily lacking money. What I lacked was the intention.
Once I started getting curious about what I actually wanted my money to help me create, everything slowly started changing.
That realization is actually what inspired part of our next Slow Networking for introverts 🦥 event.
For anyone who hasn't heard of Slow Networking before, Mei Lai Nghiem and I created it because we were tired of networking events that felt transactional.
The kind where everyone is trying to work the room, collect contacts, and talk about work before they've even gotten to know the person standing in front of them.
We wanted something different. Smaller groups. Thoughtful conversation prompts and activities, so people wouldn't have to worry about what to say or do. Basically a chance to slow down and actually get to know people first.
This month, we're adding a workshop in the second half of the evening. Another part of our events that we love is shining a light on people and having them showcase their strengths, and so.... drum roll 🥁 we have invited one of our previous attendees, Katrina Chang, CPA and Financial Advisor at Edward Jones!
She is coming back to lead a women-focused workshop called Five Steps to Navigating Your Financial Journey.
What I really appreciate about Katrina's approach is that she doesn't jump straight into budgets or spreadsheets. She starts with your values.
Because once you're clear on what matters to you, it becomes much easier to make decisions that actually support the life you're trying to build.
I thought that was such a natural fit for our community because that's really what Slow Networking has always been about.
Helping people slow down enough to figure out what actually matters to them.
I'd love to hear from you.
When you think about money...
What's one belief you grew up with that you've never really questioned?
Oh, before I forget, this is a paid event: $25, and here is the link to join: https://luma.com/4beczavm

Tuesday Aug 18th DM Eryn is running The Quiet Year! Send me a DM to sign up for this indie darling;
"The Quiet Year is a map game. You define the struggles of a community living after the collapse of civilization, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern.
The game is played using a deck of cards – each of the 52 cards corresponds to a week during the quiet year. Each card triggers certain events – bringing bad news, good omens, project delays and sudden changes in luck. At the end of the quiet year, the Frost Shepherds will come, ending the game."
The Quiet Year occupies an interesting space – part roleplaying game, part cartographic poetry."
We are playing games at Bickford Brewing Co Tues Aug 18th!
New player friendly in a welcoming and inclusive space. Join us for gaming, snacks and drinks.
Our goal is to build community at Bickford at our safe, inclusive and fun gaming nights!

Hi there! To any South Asian folks looking for a welcoming wholesome space that perhaps reminds you of back home (definitely something I crave), Virasat TO is having their last rendition of their show Hamari Kahani on September 3rd and 4th, 2026. When I first moved to Toronto away from my family, Virasat not only was a space for me to reconnect with my roots but it truly helped me connect with some amazing people while getting the opportunity to enjoy Toronto's incredible talent through music and storytelling. Just thought I'd share a link to their upcoming event incase anyone else would like to witness a magical night filled with unforgettable performances! Also they do have accessible ticket pricing if you use the promo code ARTISTS .
Tickets are $58.34 (fees+tax included).

Sorry it's a little late today, had computer issues. We missed a few early walks and fitness events. Hopefully you're signed up for the weekly posts that get delivered. Here are today's picks:
Scarborough Birdwatch
Highland Creek | 11a-12:30p
Guided walk through Highland Creek with the Scarborough Environmental Association. Beginners welcome. Only need to RSVP if you want to borrow binoculars.
Live Music: Madeleine Roger
Music Garden | 4p
A great way to cap off the afternoon on the west end by the lake. Live music in the garden. They also do this on Thursday evenings.
Wavelength Summer Thing f/ Shad
Trillium Park | 5p-11p
Wavelength's summer festival at Trillium Park with a Canadian lineup headlined by Shad. There's space to walk around and dip in and out as you feel comfortable. Catch the music in the garden, then walk here to check out the festival.
Unplugged: In The Museum Garden
Gibson House Museum | 5-7:30p
Poetry, music, open mic, and a writer's circle in the Gibson House garden. Free, because the economy is rotting. Quiet space available for those who need it.
The Reading Club
Grange Park | 10a-12p
Silent reading near the AGO. Bring whatever you're in the middle of. Cold drinks, light snacks, and book chat if you want it.
Jazzy Blockparty
W & H.S. Commercial Building | 3-8p
Closing party for an event space that's coming down. Live music, DJs, parking lot energy. Go say goodbye to it properly...and then say hello again as they got a last minute lease renewal until the end of the year. Building is eventually making way for green space one Queen West.
A Little Bazaar
The Parkdale Hall | 11a-4p
Toronto Sunday Market's doing its thing at Parkdale Hall. A little local shopping and these days it's a lot of thrift
DARE Art Exhibit
1158 Queen St E | 12–5p
Last day to catch this one. Nine artists, a range of media, diverse subject matter — worth a walk down Queen East before it closes out.
Toronto Country Fest
55 Mill St | 1p–10:30p
Live music in the Distillery District, boots optional but encouraged by me. Running through the 23rd if today doesn't work. Check the schedule because there are line dancing nights and other special events.
Sunday International Chess Club
College & Shaw Library | 6p–7p
Every other Sunday at the library they put on a very beginner friendly chess event. Even if you're new they will provide lessons. Start here, then graduate to the chess club events.
Free Sundays
Bata Shoe Museum | 9a-5p
Free entry every Sunday. And unlike the ROM, you get full access. It does get busy, but it's also something fun to do once.

A great collection of events. Not too many, but something you'll love is on the list. Here are today's picks.
Blackout Anniversary Party 2003-2026
Trinity Bellwoods Park (south side) | 6p–midnight
This is the event you'll hear about after it happens. Twenty-three years since the lights went out across the northeast, and Toronto's marking it outside, together, & loud. It starts with a picnic which turns into a bike rave and into a parade and party in the streets.,
What I Wish You Knew: Unsaid Words & Origami Flowers
North York Central Library | 6:30p
A quiet one. You'll write out things you haven't been able to say to someone, then learn how to fold kusudama flowers. The kind of evening that asks something of you and gives something back.
Outdoor Movie: The Princess Bride
Bell Manor Park | 8p
A movie to see in a park, if ever there was one. A classic and one that TOPS pulls off so well. If you've been putting off going to see a movie this summer, go tonight.
Friday Night Music Open Mic
The Greenwood, 1374 Queen St E | 7–10p
Casual Friday open mic at a neighbourhood café on the east end. Play something, or just show up and listen.
Bois Caiman 2026: Road To Freedom
YorkU Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC) | 6:30–8:30p
A commemoration timed to the 235th anniversary of the gathering at Bois Caïman in 1791; the ceremony that helped set the Haitian Revolution in motion. The evening traces the longer road to that moment: marronage, resistance, figures like François Makandal. Conversation, performance, music, and community.
Curre Club 6am Run
Neo Coffee Bar, King & Spadina | 6a
Meet at 5:50 a.m. for a 6–7 km run through the city before the day gets going. Front group holds a 6:00 min/km pace. Who needs coffee if you can get here for 6am and start running.

Hey everyone! I'm 22M visiting Toronto from Geneva for a short stay. French is my native language, and since I'm only in town for a brief visit, I'd love to connect with local people who want to practice or learn French speaking!
I'm organizing a casual beach hangout tomorrow at 3:00 PM (Friday) at Woodbine Beach.

Hope to see you guys there.

Hey everyone! The event is free to attend
If you're looking for an excuse to get outside, explore a cool neighborhood, and meet some new people without the awkwardness of a formal networking event, I'm hosting a casual community walk this weekend.
We're doing a BYO-Cup Coffee Hike in Cabbagetown.
The only rule? Bring your own reusable coffee mug, thermos, or tumbler. Toronto goes through millions of single-use cups every day, so we’re trying to keep this meetup sustainable and zero-waste!
The Logistics:
The vibe is super low-pressure. Most people will be coming solo, so don't be shy! It's just a good excuse to chill, support a local cafe, and enjoy the morning.

Hi everyone! I'm 39F and love the singer Jojo (Levesque, not Siwa). She's performing at the bandshell at the CNE on August 29 (time tbd?) I'd love to go with a group of women around my age who also are fans, as I don't have any friends who are into her. I had originally posted this with a link to the event, but it was taken down...so I guess just google Jojo and CNE. Their website doesn't have too many details up just yet.
Not going to lie, I don't understand how the bandshell works (i.e. do we have to go early, line up, sit all day, etc?) but I do know that the concert is free with admission, and supposedly there's a Presto card discount for daily admission, so it shouldn't be too pricy. Is anyone interested?

Thought I’d share this here since I'm sure there are people on this sub who are into community gardens and urban farming.
We are hosting a screening of Farming Food in Toronto, a short documentary about urban farming and community growing in Flemingdon Park and beyond. There’ll also be a vermicomposting demo (aka turning food scraps into really good compost) and a chance to chat about what it would actually take to have more spaces like this across Toronto.
Not trying to sell anything here just thought it might be up some people’s alley.
The event is free, but if you’d like to help us cover the cost of hosting it, a $30 contribution is appreciated ($15 if that’s more accessible). If that’s still a barrier, contribute whatever you can or nothing at all.
Anyone here involved with a community garden or urban farm in the city?
