20s 30s Social Party & Activities in toronto
Hey Toronto!
This is your weekly escape into global cultures.
[[Click this WhatsApp Groupchat Link to join]](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CwbMLIBsSY8DSwDzSPm3nZ)
Every Saturday at 7:30 PM, people in their 20s and 30s gather for a mix of language practice, travel stories, and community.
Whether you’re new in town or born here, this is where world citizens connect.
No judgment, no pressure — just pure, human interaction.
In Good Company – Saturday Walk & Coffee (Rosedale → Brick Works)
This is the second walk in a new series of small meetups in Toronto — feel free to join, whether this is your first time or you came to the previous one.
**If you are on a Waitlist**
Please feel free to still join. I have a free meet-up account, which limits me to 10 people sign up.
**Meeting Plan**
We’ll meet just outside the main entrance of Rosedale Subway Station at street level (I’ll be standing near the exit and easy to spot), and walk & chat through Rosedale onto the ravine trails toward Evergreen Brick Works, finishing with a coffee or a stroll through the farmer's market (happens every Saturday at Brick Works until 1pm).
Having done the first event, I might bring a very light structure or conversation prompts for our walk & chat part. The main idea behind these mini-series of walks is to be outdoors, be active, meet new people, and start your weekend on a positive note.
**At Brick Works**
Once we get to the Brick Works, some people might want to sit down together for a coffee, while others want to stroll around the farmer's market and get some food, and some want to do their own thing. This is very flexible.
You might want to bring your own tea/coffee/drink as there are plenty of spaces to sit, sip and enjoy the day. The farmer's market is very nice, but the queues were quite long, and the options are somewhat limited. I might bring my own tea in a thermos this time.
**Timing**
• Meet: 11:00–11:10am at Rosedale Station (we will start walking at 11.10am)
• Walk: \~40 minutes at an easy pace
• Coffee or farmer's market: around midday at Brick Works
If it rains heavily, I might have to cancel the walk. We can bring umbrellas if it sprinkles lightly and still enjoy the outdoors. If it rains heavily, I will update the invite in the morning of the event.
I’ll be there to welcome everyone.
Looking forward to meeting you.
