Hangout in Toronto with Unapologetically Childfree™️ | Waterworks Food Hall
**Toronto, It’s Happening! Saturday, February 28th from 3pm to 5pm EST (or longer, if you’re having fun)!**
The **Unapologetically Childfree™️ Community** is growing fast in **London and Lisbon**, slowly but surely across the U.S.—and now… **Canada is officially joining the party** thanks to a lovely community member in Toronto who’s ready to host. ✨
This will be the **first Unapologetically Childfree™️ meetup in Toronto** (and hopefully the first of many across Canada ), created for childfree folks who are ready to find real community and lasting friendships.
While I won’t be there in person, this meetup will be hosted by **Alison**, a Toronto local and UCC member who’s excited to welcome you all and help get this community started IRL. ♀️
***
**Event Details:**
* **Who:** Childfree people—meaning anyone who doesn’t have or want kids. Locals and visitors welcome. If you’re ready to meet people who *get it*, you’re in the right place.
* ️ **What:** A relaxed, come-as-you-are hangout with food, drinks, and easy conversation. No agenda. No pressure. Just connection.
* **Where:** **Waterworks Food Hall**
Located inside **Waterworks Condos & Residences**, this modern food hall has lots of options (including vegetarian-friendly bites), plenty of seating, and a great social vibe.
[https://www.waterworksfoodhall.com/](https://www.waterworksfoodhall.com/)
* **When:** **February 28th**
⏰ **Date & Time:** **3:00 PM – 5:00+ PM Toronto Time**
(The end time is a placeholder—if Toronto is anything like the rest of the UCC, this will likely go longer )
* **Cost:** The meetup itself is free. Average spend at the venue is estimated at **$20–30 CAD per person**, depending on what you order.
* **Parking:** Underground parking is available at the building. Details on cost/availability are not confirmed, so plan accordingly.
* **Why You Should Join:** This is a low-key way to meet other childfree adults in Toronto who are also looking for community—not networking, not dating pressure, just real humans connecting.
* ⏰ **Arrive & Leave:** Totally flexible. Come early, show up late, stay a bit, stay awhile—it’s all welcome.
* **Stay Connected:** Want updates, day-of coordination, and first dibs on future Toronto (and Canada-wide ) events?
Join the WhatsApp groups by signing up here: **[https://maggiedickens.com/childfree-group-chat](https://maggiedickens.com/childfree-group-chat)**
Huge gratitude to Alison for helping bring Unapologetically Childfree™️ to Toronto. I’ll be cheering you on from afar and cannot wait to see this community grow. ✨

Advanced Speakers on the Hill Toastmasters - In Person Meetings!!!!
**Advanced Speakers on the Hill (ASotH)** is proud to be a ***premier club*** operating in the best Toastmasters tradition of providing a supportive and positive program that empowers its members to achieve greater self-confidence and personal growth.
**To become a better communicator and leader,** you need warm and supportive people to help you along your way. This is where ASotH excels because we’re a club packed with committed and experienced Toastmasters.
**One way in which we help each other to grow is by means of thorough speech evaluations.** In most Toastmasters clubs, each speech receives a 2-3 minute evaluation – end of story. Here your speech will be evaluated for fifteen minutes, which includes input and discussion from among *all* the members present. Imagine how much you can benefit, even when you are not the speech maker. You will hear a detailed evaluation and listen to what other members think. You will then have the opportunity to add your thoughts to the evaluation circle. And, since the speaker’s prime evaluator is also evaluated, you will learn how to improve your own evaluations. All this occurs in a typically supportive and fun atmosphere.
**ASotH Club meetings are held on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Saturdays of each month.** Visitors are most welcome, so drop by and experience the **ASotH advantage** first-hand!
***Our meetings are now in-person at Bayview Hill Community Center. Details can be found [here](https://advancedspeakersonthehill.toastmastersclubs.org/directions.html).***
**Membership Eligibility:** You must have completed Level 2 in Pathways, or the first ten speeches in the Toastmasters Competent Communication Legacy manual in order to join our advanced club.
Hope to see you soon!

Supper Club Toronto (March 1st)
**Join us at our home in Downtown Toronto on March 1st for another evening of chef-led dining, great wine, and even better conversation.** We’re hosting an intimate, multi-course supper club that brings the precision of modern global cuisine into a relaxed, soulful setting. It’s our favorite way to eat: professional-grade food shared with a small group of lovely people from all over the city, where the night is never rushed and the table always feels full.
**The Night’s Highlights:**
* **The Food:** Our chef is preparing a multi-course menu of modern, global cuisine. Think high-end technique applied to comforting, bold flavors—refined but never tiny portions.
* **The Wine:** We’ll have a few of our favorite bottles open and ready to pour, specifically chosen to complement the night’s menu.
* **The Crowd:** We bring together a small group of locals—foodies, creatives, and professionals—who just enjoy sharing a thoughtful meal with new faces.
**How it Works:**
We keep our table intimate (usually around 8–10 people) to make sure everyone actually gets to talk. It’s laid-back, unhurried, and focused on the joy of a long Sunday dinner.
**Cost per seat** is $75
**Want to join us?** If you’d like to grab a seat, just make sure you’ve filled out the [form](https://forms.gle/rhGi1WMPvs36k4Dp7) in our bio. **Please note: this is a paid event.** We’ll be reaching out to confirm the guest list and share full details, including pricing and next steps

2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.

5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.

For this event, we’ll help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents, wash dishes and clean surfaces at Fath Mission – Grant Kitchen.

Here are complete details and our plan for this event:

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing the all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With very few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve.
THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need.
PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
