**🪷 Speed Dating Built for Locals for Burnaby People Real Connection** As a guest, you'll be guided through focused short video rounds with Burnaby locals age-grouped and personality-matched, with someone hosting live from start to finish. As you finalise your spot, you take a quick personality and preferences survey — those results are used to match you with Burnaby people who are actually compatible, giving every chat a better foundation than a swipe ever could. After the final round, we let mutual matches know — with privacy guaranteed for all non-mutual picks — and you follow up whenever it suits you. **Registration — choose your age group:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=18-32&face_v=5.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=30-46&face_v=5.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=40-58&face_v=5.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=55+&face_v=5.0) **⚠️ Action needed:** Clicking rsvp is only the first step not the whole process, so complete registration via your age bracket link and finish the short personality quiz — the cap is reached quickly so register without delay, and skipping either step means your place is not held. --- **This is for you if:** - Women and men from Burnaby moving beyond apps that waste evenings for no return and want to meet real locals without the faff. - Women and men from around Burnaby who are tired of matches that ghost after two messages and are ready for a genuine first impression. - Anyone across Burnaby looking beyond conversations that fizzle before a first date and are after something more than a swipe can offer. - Anyone at all based in Burnaby leaving behind swiping left and right with no results and prefer meeting people in person first. - Someone from the Burnaby area done with dating apps that go nowhere and are ready for a genuine first impression. **What to Know** - **Format:** Host-managed in a hosted Zoom session with back-to-back private rounds per pair, quiz-and-age matched for every single round. - **Where:** Home-based — on any modern device with a camera, nothing is needed beyond a device and a stable connection, and couch desk or spare room are all equally valid spots. - **Host:** An engaging host handles everything so you just show up and enjoy, meaning you never have to think about the format — the host owns the evening so you can simply enjoy it. - **Duration:** Most sessions run for ninety minutes or so from first round to last, and the evening has a natural momentum. **How it all works** 1. **Register** – by using the link for your bracket above, then fill in the personality questions as part of registration, because this is the only way to be confirmed. 2. **Enter the Zoom room** – by opening the session link at the right time, any device works and no download is required, and once you are in the host handles the rest entirely. 3. **Start the rounds** – personality-matched one-on-one rounds with Burnaby singles curated for you by age and personality, while the host controls the pace so you can relax, as the work of finding compatible people was done for you. 4. **Review your matches** – post-event mutual selections are confirmed and shared, so your info only reaches someone who also chose you, and you connect whenever you would like to with no pressure. ⭐ *"One of the best evenings I have had — it felt natural from the first round"* – Burnaby local --- ✨ Meet Burnaby singles from home — pick your age group and sign up and we will see you online before spots go. The host will see you shortly. 🌸 ✨

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
