**Join us for our signature Vegan Drinks social—this time at NUTTEA Toronto!** 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. You don't have to be a vegan to come and enjoy the fun. In fact we encourage you to bring your veg and non-veg friends!), but only vegan food and drinks are available for purchase. While we’re also hosting our smaller Second Sundays meetup here earlier in the month, this is a completely different experience. If you’re looking for a lively, high-energy evening with lots of new faces, this is the one to come to. 📍 **Venue** NUTTEA Toronto Menu: [https://nuttea.net](https://nuttea.net) 📅 **Event Details** **Friday, May 29** **6:30 PM – 9:30 PM** No cover — just show up, buy some food if you're hungry, drinks if you're thirsty, and most importantly, have fun and socialize! Name tags will be available so you won't have to remember a million names. ✨ **What Makes This Event Different** • A large, social atmosphere (typically 100+ attendees) • Designed for mingling and meeting lots of new people • Energetic and free-flowing • Drop in anytime, stay as long as you like *(If you prefer a quieter, small-group setting, check out our capped Second Sundays event earlier in the month.)* ☕ **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** Nuttea is a plant-based tea shop, with fun options for bakery items, bubble tea, coffee, homemade nut mylk and nut cream. Expect their signature nut-milk teas, coffee, and a selection of vegan baked goods in a vibrant Bloor Street setting - stay indoors or chat the evening away on the outdoor patio with your drinks. ❓ **Questions?** Reach out to the event hosts for anything not covered above.

[Toronto Climate Film Festival](https://www.tcff.ca/) and [ClimateFast](https://www.climatefast.ca/) present: **Emergence: Women In The Storm** **Sunday May 31, 2026 – 6:30-9pm** Doors open @ 6:30 pm. Screening starts @ 7 pm. Join acclaimed directors Nova Ami and Velcrow Ripper at the Toronto premiere for a Q&A to discuss ‘wisdom from the storm’ — how finding your community is one of the best ways to prepare for emergencies. Presented by The Toronto Climate Film Festival and Climate Fast. Doors at 6:30pm, screening at 7:00; Q & A to follow moderated by legendary feminist activist Judy Rebick. Trailer: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ytX_0KiQnM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ytX_0KiQnM) Tickets: [https://cool.world/event/emergence-toronto-premiere/](https://cool.world/event/emergence-toronto-premiere/) (Your Meetup RSVP will not get you a ticket!) About the film: Climate change is here. As heat domes, atmospheric rivers, and wildfires reshape our world, how do we protect what matters most? EMERGENCE: Women in the Storm goes beyond the headlines to explore how women are navigating climate emergencies. Recent disasters, including the wildfire that burned the town of Lytton to the ground and the devastating floods in the Fraser Valley, are seen through the eyes of survivors, while emergency responders and community organizers provide perspectives on preparing for – and moving beyond – the worst. Meghan Fandrich’s reflective readings from Burning Sage: Poems from the Lytton Fire, written after losing her town to the blaze, are woven together with stories of healing, resilience and hope in the face of an uncertain future. Intimate and beautifully crafted, the film offers insights on how to live in this new reality, finding ways to carry on without giving up. Website: [https://emergence.film/](https://emergence.film/)

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
