Come find me on the **second floor**, I'll be the one welcoming you in! \* address: **350 Lakeshore Rd E,** Oakville Hope to see everyone at Figaro! Just added a picture of the coffee shop.

**Join us for our signature Vegan Drinks social—this time at Chic Peas Veg!** We’re excited to be featuring a **new host** for this month’s event—something we don’t do often. If you’ve been to Vegan Drinks before, this is a great chance to enjoy a fresh space, new flavours, and a different atmosphere while keeping the same great community. Vegan Drinks is a social event for those interested in making new friends and meeting like-minded people. We meet up on the last Friday of the month.

Name tags will be available so you won't have to remember a million names. ✨ What Makes This Event Different • A large, social atmosphere • Designed for mingling and meeting lots of new people • Energetic and free-flowing • Drop in anytime, stay as long as you like ☕ How It Works Just show up, order what you like, and start socializing. Talk about your interests, your favourite recipes and restaurants, your dream job to save the animals, the environment, your ethics, or anything and everything. 🌿 The Space Chic Peas Veg is a plant-based pop-up restaurant experience featuring Eritrean and Ethiopian-inspired vegan cuisine, known for bold flavours, spices, and creative dishes. This is a something new. Expect a full menu of food and drinks (alcoholic and non- alcoholic), a comfortable sit-down space, and a beautiful outdoor patio. Conveniently located, right across from the new Oakwood station on the Eglinton Crosstown line, it’s an easy spot to settle in, grab a drink, and spend the evening connecting.

🎥 Toronto Content Creators Social & Collaboration Meetup **Date:** 2026-06-26 **Duration:** 2 hours **Location:** Starbucks (1545 Bayview Ave) *** ## Event Description Welcome to our very first meetup! 🎉 This isn't a workshop.

We'll spend time getting to know each other, talking about social media, cameras, editing, ideas, dreams, and the kind of content we'd love to make. If people feel comfortable, we'll split into small groups and help each other film short TikToks, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or just take great photos. No pressure. No expectations. No experience required.

**🦋 Neighbourhood Read: Circe by Madeline Miller • Relaxed and Inclusive** We're meeting up to open up a conversation around Circe, our selection by Madeline Miller in a friendly low-key environment, and there is always more to discover in a good book together. No requirement to finish — come wherever you are in the book, and note any characters or moments you want to unpack, and bring your reading experience — since there is no wrong reading and every response is worth hearing. The evening is shaped by who is in the room — with the conversation moving where it naturally wants to go, and the most interesting moments never come from the planned questions. Every session is a good first session — and regular members are consistently enthusiastic about welcoming new readers, the only requirement is showing up ready to talk, and first-timers rarely feel like first-timers for long. ⭐ *"The group is warm and the conversation is always great — the discussion always produces at least one reading I had not considered"* – new to the group --- 💬 A great discussion changes how you see a great book — sign up and bring your reading experience however partial and the rest sorts itself out in the room. The group grows every time someone new joins. 💬
