What we’re about
Hello, and welcome to Do Stuff, Make Friends! 🎉
We're a social group created for people in their late 20s and early 30s, dedicated to organizing fun and exciting events. Whether you’re looking to meet new people, try new activities, or simply have a great time, you’re in the right place.
We host a wide variety of events designed to bring people together- from casual nights out for drinks and conversations to checking out annual Winnipeg events, enjoying seasonal activities, visiting museums, and so much more!
Please take a moment to read through the group rules, and feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns. We’re here to help and excited to meet you!

✅ Group Rules:
- Conduct:
Please be respectful to all members and organizers. Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or any other bigoted behavior will not be tolerated. - Attendance:
If you RSVP for an event but can’t make it, please update your RSVP as soon as possible to free up your spot. For events that require reservations or have long waitlists, cancellations made less than 24 hours before the event may count as no-shows. If you no-show for 3 events, you may be temporarily banned from attending future events. - This is not a dating group:
While connections may naturally form, this group’s primary focus is on building friendships and creating a positive social space. Unwanted advances or inappropriate behavior are not acceptable. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, please reach out to an organizer - we're here to help. - Age & Eligibility:
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all events are 18+ only. This group is primarily intended for people in their 20s and 30s. There’s some flexibility for your plus-ones, but most events won’t be suitable for minors. - Alcohol & Behavior:
Some events may take place at venues that serve alcohol. Moderate drinking is fine, but excessive consumption or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated - especially if it endangers you or others.
---
Breaking any of the stated rules may result in either a temporary or permanent ban.
Our main goal is to create an atmosphere where all members feel included and welcome. Any behavior that impedes this goal will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

What is Friendsgiving?
Friendsgiving is similar to a traditional Thanksgiving, only you gather with friends instead of with family. It’s an opportunity to celebrate both old and new friendships without the formalities that are expected for traditional Thanksgiving dinners.
--------------------------------
Please Note: Changes to your RSVP must be done at least 24 hours in advance.
Last-minute cancellations will be counted as no-shows for this event. According to our group’s attendance policy, multiple no-shows may result in a temporary ban from future events.
