Have you ever wanted to engage with TO a bit more than you have been? Interested in trying something new and maybe meeting some new people? Why not try a group?
There are all kinds of groups and gatherings in Toronto because this is one of the biggest and most multicultural cities in Canada. If you take some time and look around, you’re sure to find some great ideas for getting over your boredom and engaging with the rest of the city!
Some good places to start
Even if you’ve never had to look around for clubs or groups, it’s never too late to start. Meetup is a fantastic resource that has a section specifically devoted to Toronto meetups, and this search field can also get you started. Browse through dozens of listings and find something you really enjoy! Of course, there’s always Facebook groups popping up everywhere, so that is another great resource to search for new things to do. Funnily enough, even Kijiji and Craigslist can be a great help in finding where people meet. It’s all about making connections!
Toronto Soccer
With the rise in popularity of soccer in the past few years, from our women’s team kicking ass to everyone getting on the World Cup train, lots of people are getting into the fast-paced and fun activity. Not only is joining a sport great for your health, but it’s a lot of fun and you’ll meet great people in the process! Talk about win-win!
A Walking Group
Think Soccer might be a might much for you to handle and want something a little more low-impact? Want to get outside and see more of the beautiful city? Try a walking group! With these, you go on long walks around the city in a relaxing and calm atmosphere and strike up casual conversations while enjoying the sun. No matter your age or activity level, walking groups are great to get some outdoors in your life.
The Toronto Film Society
Are you more of an in-doors person? Want to go out and see all the latest movies, but have no one to go with? The Toronto Film Society has you covered. There’s nothing like seeing a movie with a group, especially if they’re all knowledgeable about film. If you ever have had an interest in being a cinephile or simply want to go watch movies with other smart people, you’d be hard pressed to find something better!
