Canada is large country, so segment it up. Lets start with Ontario. I am located in Toronto.

Northern New Yorkers are welcome to post here too! We are all neighbours.

moltar · 11-05-2006, 10:01 PM

Ottawa, Ontario, but have a buddy in Toronto who is also interested in this stuff, but don't think he reads this site, though I did suggest it to him.

Belle · 11-05-2006, 10:43 PM

I'm just outside of Toronto, in Pickering

dpvtank · 11-06-2006, 12:16 AM

Mississauga, just next to Toronto.

Yes, small world indeed! Nice to meet you, too. Did you grow up in Pickering? I went to high school there, then left when I went to university and now I'm back.

I didn't grow up there. Although, I did go to Dunbarton Public School for 6 months of OAC. Which HS did you go to? Also, which uni did you go to?

(feel free to take this conversation to PM anytime... no need to release personal information to the world

Yes, to Dunbarton (can we say, small world again??). And then on to U of T.

RT Wolf · 11-06-2006, 02:32 PM

I is also in Toronto. Anyone organizing a meet?

RuthinToronto · 11-06-2006, 04:51 PM

Hello out there, all you fellow GTAers/Ontarians etc.! Would anyone be interested in a monthly coffee/tea get together in a downtown Toronto coffeeshop or restaurant? I'd be happy to organize if there is any interest. I don't know about you, but I could sure use some discussion on how to change some of my less-than-productive beliefs...

We could do coffee, or perhaps brunch on a Saturday or Sunday morning/early afternoon? Of course, anyone from the surrounding area would be welcome too - downtown TO is actually easier to get to from outside than the burbs are, since you don't need a car to get around.
Have a great week, everyone!

lol I went to UofT too!
I probably saw you around!

RT Wolf · 11-06-2006, 05:30 PM

I'm at UofT now (sorta, taking a year off, but I still do stuff on campus).

I'm down for the coffee thingy.

zpivat · 11-06-2006, 05:58 PM

Wow cool idea Ruth

Lakeshore (behind the Union Station) is my great favourite (but only during summer).
Yours?

I usually go down to the St. Lawrence Market on Saturday mornings and then go for coffee with my friend at the Second Cup on the corner of Church and Front. But I'm open to new places! Especially since that particular Second Cup has very limited seating...
Looks like there are a few people in the thread who would be interested: RTWolf, pi11 and yourself in TO; dpvtank in Mississauga; Belle in Pickering. Let's wait a few days then see who can make a pre-Christmas brunch in T.O.!

Hello from Barrie, just moved here 3 months ago.

AdamSpitz · 11-06-2006, 10:14 PM

I'm in Toronto, too. I'd be glad to do the coffee thing.

pi11 · 11-06-2006, 10:45 PM

Count me in for the weekend coffee idea. Although I am not going to be able to make it to any get together until December.

You folks are welcome to go ahead and get together. Stragglers like myself will join for the second or third meet.

dcaldwell · 11-07-2006, 12:29 AM

Ottawa (Vanier) here.

Jerigan · 11-07-2006, 01:34 AM

Currently I'm in Waterloo. yeehaw

moltar · 11-07-2006, 09:56 PM

Would fellow Ottawanians be interested in meeting up for a cup of tea? May I suggest Avant Garde Bar? Maybe sometime on Friday? Not too late, because they usually have loud bands playing later during the evening.

dpvtank · 11-07-2006, 11:00 PM

I'd love this, but my transportation is the public transit, which means it takes forever to go anywhere in Toronto.

It's a small, and very lovely world

I have a harder time getting downtown, especially in the evenings. I'll be one of the stragglers, though.

Don't worry, I'm sure many of us (me included) take the TTC too.

Deon D'Silva · 11-08-2006, 02:47 AM

Hey, Deon from Toronto here. Recent UofT grad. Meeting up sounds like a great idea. Lemme know the details. Peace.

Hoshino · 11-08-2006, 06:11 AM

hey guys...
I'm GTA also...from Brampton here..

meet up sounds great

Meilyne · 11-08-2006, 09:12 PM

Hi there, just joined in the fun.
From Ontario as well.

Just recently started my own webpage depicting my ongoing struggle with weightloss.

Diary of a Fat White Woman - My Struggles with Food Addiction

Take care everyone!

mensreaj · 11-18-2006, 02:12 AM

Hey all... first post.

I'm not sure how I came across this site, but I'm glad that I did. I already feel inspired to do more with my life. I've got no plan as of yet... but something is brewing inside me.

My name is Jason, I work for National Defence in Ottawa. I'm 25 years old and my wife and I are expecting our second child at the end of February.

I look forward to being a part of this forum.

RT Wolf · 11-18-2006, 02:35 PM

So...is anyone taking the lead on this?

How's this? Saturday next weekend (Nov 25) at 2pm, a coffee shop in downtown Toronto. I'm open to suggestions where (I don't drink coffee) or I'll try to find a good sized starbucks or somin downtown.

Dimitry · 11-20-2006, 01:12 PM

I live right near the St Lawrence market also. I'm up for a Starbucks type of meeting. I'll have a look around and see if I can spot a big enough coffee shop for all of us to get together.

I think we should probably start a thread based on Toronto though, since it's big enough to have it's own following for several pages. Ontario is just too huge considering there are other towns who might want their own threads also.

It'll be more organized that way imo.
