Join us for an easy stroll to enjoy wildlife and meet new people. We'll visit Turtle Pond, the eagle nest, and the bridge to Klineline Park (to check for otters).

All ages are welcome! (Participants under 18 years of age must have a parent or guardian along.)

Furry family members are welcome too! We’ve enjoyed meeting new friends’ dogs, and ur friend Erwin has brought his two special-needs kittens in a stroller. They’re adorable!

We'll be very glad to meet you! Come on your own, or bring as many friends or family members as you like!

Our group is kind, friendly, mellow, and welcoming!

Tuesday Morning Wildlife Stroll - Salmon Creek Trail

Making new friends as an adult can be surprisingly difficult. We’re trying to make it easier and a lot more fun!

Our Tuesday evening meetups are for adults over 50 who want to meet new people, have fun conversations, and build new friendships around Vancouver.

Think speed dating, except there’s no dating.

At our speed-friending events, you’ll have a series of short, relaxed conversations with different people, with (often wacky) questions or conversation starters to keep things lively and fun.

Afterward, there’s time to hang out, have a drink or a bite to eat, and continue talking with people you connected with.

We’ll hold events at local pubs and other casual venues around Vancouver.

Come by yourself (if you like)! In fact, that’s exactly what this is designed for. You don’t need to be especially outgoing, and you don’t need to already know anyone.

If you prefer, bring any number of adult friends or adult family members!

The goal is simple: get people off their phones, talking face-to-face, laughing, and hopefully leaving with a few new people they’d genuinely like to see again.

This is a friendship and social group—not a dating group.

Drinking is never the point, and alcohol is completely optional.

This group is geared toward adults. Any participants under the age of 18 would have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and would have to join us on an occasion when the venue allows minors.

If you're like us in that you'd enjoy making a new friend or two, join us! We'll be glad to meet you!
