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.

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.

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 )

Default Let's get together!
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!
Ruth In Toronto

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

I'm down for the coffee thingy.

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.!

Default Great idea
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.

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.

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.
