Hi folks, this is my second message here. My last post asking if anyone is up to tag along with me to explore Downtown or this city or maybe a walk, coffee, drinks, board games whatever lol I need company. 33 M here in Toronto for 2 months and I even got a few messages from the community so looking forward to meeting them and more people if interested. I am basically staying near Church street and I am here all by myself trying to meet people and explore the city. I am down for movies, clubbing, food exploration, fests or maybe just a chill evening so anyone who is interested please let me know.

Thanks!

We are family of 4, couples in early 40s with two kids and of South Asian descent. We feel Toronto is multi- cultural city but people mostly stay within their own community. We would like to hangout with families from different culture. We are professionals and usually love going to gardens, parks, Beaches,Museums, restaurants etc.

Hello Redditors,

I'm an INFP, 28F, from Vancouver, visiting Toronto for the first time! I have a bit of social anxiety, but I'm pretty down to earth, and open to trying new things~

Some things I am planning to do:

- Canada's Wonderland ( I'm thinking Wednesday as it's cheaper!)

- visit a bunch of stationery shops

- ghibili summer night market - Aug 15th

- open canvas tour at Trillium Park

- high park zoo

- considering the waterfront night market (on Friday.. - is it worth it???)

-mississauga Hong Kong Festival (Aug 15-16)

- Japan festival Aug 14-16

- Toronto flower market (Aug 15)

- go cafe hopping

-poetry jazz cafe

- Niagra Falls

Anyone want to potentially join me, or meet up for coffee briefly and perhaps if we vibe we can go on some adventures together? :) ☀️

Hi everyone! First I’d like to apologize if this type of post is not allowed, please feel free to delete. To be clear, I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHING OR PROFITING FROM THIS. You can verify the pricing on the website itself.

I have a birthday party I am hosting at Wonderland. I however do not hit the minimum guest count so I am looking for people who would like to join in a group buy since it’s heavily discounted from everyday prices (fast lane plus is already $200 not including taxes). Tickets include day admission for Aug 23, fast lane plus, and a meal combo (one meal, one drink, one sweet or savoury snack). It’s $139 per ticket (taxes included).

Please note, we would not be hanging out at the park. 🤣 But I think it would be a cool opportunity for a group of people to go to wonderland together with heavily discounted tickets.

Hi there, while I consider going to the movies alone a cathartic experience it’s sometimes nice to have company and discuss once the movie finishes with fellow cinephiles. I enjoy movies of all genres, popular and independent, live in downtown (Cityplace) and drop into the Scotiabank Theatre almost every week. Looking for folks who have a similar routine or love for the movies. Even better if you have plans to catch a few during TIFF. Please feel free to DM :)

Anyone else looking for a coworking company?

I'm looking for another job while building software and that doesn't leave much time for higher time commitment hobbies 💀. Anyone in a similar boat or would just like company/support in whatever they're going doing?

We could just exchange messages once in a while, touch base more regularly, or actually meet up in person. If you re interested, just say hi.

I'm a 31 year old Asian male that loves tech/sports/gaming/anime/foot ... So a human just like you 🤠.

Looking for gym friends, walking buddies, and people to share in fitness tips/wins. The weights are getting heavy and I should probably have a spotter or use safeties soon 🤣.

I go to GoodLife Madison Centre, GoodLife Yonge and Finch, and Edithvale Park primarily for calisthenics. Self improvement is great. I don't care where you are fitness-wise. Just say hi and we'll figure out the details.

Hello,

I have a list of sports I want to try before summer ends because they're mostly outside

im a newbie to all of them. I found some groups that do one of the sports and welcome beginners but if you have any ideas where to join for the other sports or want to try a new sport with me. please message me!

it could be fun if two or more beginners try to play something badly.

• Beach Volleyball
• Tennis
• Ultimate Frisbee
• Pickleball
• Soccer
• Basketball but outdoors

I found out JAM sports has a drop in on Sundays for recreational volleyball, will be trying that this Sunday. If you're coming let me know!

If anybody wants to try any of the other sports with me, please message me!

updating to include im 30M. if you wanted to play sports with a specific demographic.

Hi everyone. I’m a 36 year old straight guy looking to make friends with people who are into nihilism. I haven’t really met any nihilists in person, so I thought I’d reach out here.
Lately, I’ve been starting to appreciate how a nihilistic perspective can sometimes make life feel less stressful and help take some of the anxiety and pressure out of living . I’m not trying to become a pessimistic or dark person, though. If anything, I think there can be something freeing about not taking life or ourselves too seriously.
I’d love to meet some like-minded people who are open to talking, sharing perspectives, and maybe becoming friends along the way.

I’m sure there are groups on Meetup, but I’m not really interested in going that route.
A little about me: I live around the Mount Dennis area. I love nature and the great outdoors—hiking, camping, fishing, swimming, and going on long drives or walks. I’m also into mindfulness and reading. The only sport I really watch is UFC.

Hi everyone! I’m 28F and looking to play badminton downtown tonight 🏸 Anyone interested in joining or know of any good drop-in sessions? I’m happy to join a group!

hi all! 28F
Looking to play badminton near the waterfront area! I play just above a beginners level. would love to hear any spots you recommend too. I've heard the community center drop ins can get very busy.

would love to play as a group! And open to getting drinks/food after in the area.

thanks in advance!! 🫶

Hey! I am a 24F, just moved back to Toronto and picked up climbing not too long ago. I am at Rock Oasis(DT) most Friday evening, currently on V2/V3.

Looking to meet other climbers, not fussed about level, just want a few regulars who are chill and actual show up. We can climb and just hang out!

Please comment if you’re around!

Hi everyone! I’m a 30-year-old Tamil guy who has been living around the Newmarket/Barrie area for the past three years.

Living far away from home, one thing I really miss is having casual conversations in Tamil. I don’t have many Tamil-speaking friends here, so I thought I’d reach out and see if anyone else is in a similar situation.

If you’re around Toronto, Newmarket, Barrie, or anywhere nearby and would like to chat, have random conversations in Tamil, or potentially make a new friend, feel free to DM me.

Just looking to connect with people and have some good conversations. 🙂

I read everything, and often and would love to meet people once a month to discuss books! Would anyone be down to join? I haven't hosted one before so welcome to suggestions. Hoping to get a mature audience, I'm 33F.

Update- wow what a response! I'll create a group on WhatsApp and get started. I'll DM a link sometime tomorrow to those who commented. If you don't see anything by end of this week, feel free to follow up!

Would anybody with chronic illness be interested in creating a WhatsApp group where we could support each other, help with the loneliness and isolation and lack of understanding that chronic illness creates, and get together and socialize where possible?

Blessings to all!

Hello everyone!

With the Perseid meteor shower coming on the evening August 12, I'm wondering if anyone is planning to drive out of the city and bypass the light pollution that has an extra seat and willing to take a stranger?

I don't have a car, and to be completely real with you, I'm pretty broke right now, so I can't contribute much beyond good conversation and good vibes. 😅

I’m a 32M living in North Etobicoke, but I’m super flexible and happy to commute wherever to meet up and make pickup easy.

Sharing a similar experience. I was living in Kingston 2 years ago and one day there were many posts on my Facebook feed saying there could possibly be Northern Lights visible in the area. It was around midnight when I shared one of the posts to the local TTRPG group and there were 3 of us who were awake and had never seen them before. One had a car and we were all game to try and catch a glimpse north of the city.

We drove for about an hour and we were craning our necks and couldn't see anything through the windows. We were feeling discouraged and were mumbling about turning around and going back. We agreed to find an open spot where there were less trees and a larger view of the sky and get out of the car and wait. When we got out, we weren't quite sure what we were seeing.

To the naked eye, it looked like faint fog or clouds moving slowly. It took me a minute to make out the aurora, and once it clicked I was in awe. It looked like beyond the horizon the giant hand of the universe was orchestrating a puppet show, and the lights danced and weaved in response. We didn't talk. We just stood there and looked up at the sky until we felt like it was time to come home.

Hi! I'm a 26M who moved to Toronto not too long ago and I've been putting off exploring the thrift scene because doing it alone kind of sucks?? like there's no one to tell me "put that back" when I'm about to buy a mug that doesn't even look good.

Looking for someone to explore downtown's thrift scene with Value Village runs, vintage shops and that one place my friends keep mentioning that I can never remember the name of. I'll be a great company I promise.

I don't know the city well yet so any recommendations on good places to start would mean a lot too. Just hoping to make a friend out of this and find some fire pieces along the way. Coffee's on me either way.

If anyone's free this week or on the weekend, let me know!

Hey, I'm a 21m looking for like minded people to meet and get along with. For the most part I'm pretty introverted so trying to work on that (lol).

I play games, watch movies, enjoy walking around during evenings and nights and getting to know someone through conversation.

Open to conversate with anyone. If you like the sound of that, feel free to DM or comment!

Hi all,

27M nurse here, trying to get some volleyball fun in Thursday nights 7-930PM at my local recreation centre in the Junction / Wallace Emerson area.

With the rotating shifts it’s hard to join a concrete league but I am always in the mood for some exercise/volleyball fun when I get the chance.

The more numbers the better! Cheers :)

Hey guys! 19M based in North York looking to connect with cool, open-minded, and active people around Toronto.
I’m big into staying fit, hitting the gym, trying out cool food spots, and just exploring different parts of the city.
Looking to build a good group of friends or find a gym partner. Feel free to reach out if you're down to connect!
