Toronto Vegan Drinks 💞 Valent❤️Onion🧅Edition💘❄️
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. There is no cover charge but we encourage everyone to support our hosts by buying some food and/or drinks!
This month, we’re warming up winter with a late-bloom Valentine twist at the vibrant Dosa Mahal on Roncesvalles! ❄️🌿✨ Sure, Valentine’s Day may be behind us — but love (and onions) come in many layers, and neither one follows a calendar.
Welcome to Valent-Onion: a celebration of cozy connection, great conversation, and the kind of food that makes your heart flutter and your eyes water (in the best way). 🧅🥲💘
Come thaw out with us over comfort classics — from crispy dosas to bold, flavorful bites — and let a little spring onion energy peek through the winter window… a tiny edible reminder that brighter days are on the way. 🌱🥞
Immerse yourself in an exclusively vegan evening by our gracious hosts - engaging conversations, unwind in the welcoming atmosphere, and tantalize your taste buds - with Dosa Mahal's mouthwatering delights (https://dosamahal.com/). From scrumptious grub to refreshing drinks, gluten-free dosas and pakoras, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
**💘 Valent-Onion Event**
For this special winter edition, we’re keeping things warm, friendly, and deliciously vegan. Whether you’re single, coupled, complicated, or just here for the dosa — you’re invited.
Expect:
✨ great company
✨ cozy winter vibes
✨ bold flavours
✨ and maybe a little onion romance
**How does it work?**
*This will be a dry event. Bring your stories, not your spirits 😊*
Just show up, have fun, and meet new people! Name tags will be available so you won't have to remember a million names! Talk about your interests, your favourite recipes and restaurants, your dream job to save the animals, the environment, your ethics, or anything and everything!
Come for the food. Stay for the connections. Leave with a full heart (and possibly a little onion breath) 🧅💛
Beginner's Swimming Workshop
Dive into the world of swimming with our exciting meetup group! Join us for a beginner-friendly workshop as we cover essential skills and techniques to feel confident swimming. Our experienced instructors will provide tips on breathing, sighting, and navigation to help you conquer any body of water. Whether you're new to swimming or looking to brush up on your skills, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to enhance your abilities in a supportive and encouraging environment. Don't miss out on this chance to explore the excitement of swimming with our welcoming community of swimmers.
Admission includes a 1 hour swimming lesson, group or individual, depending on your comfort level and ability. All lessons will begin at the start of each hour (i.e. 6 pm, 7 pm). You are encouraged to arrive 10-15 minutes early to get acquainted, as well as change & set up.
This is a BYOE workshop (Bring Your Own Equipment), so bathing suits, bathing caps, goggles, and ear/nose plugs are your responsibility. All other equipment, such as floatation devices, are available on site.
I will be on site to guide you through the process and answer any questions you might have, as well as collect admission fees. You are welcome to hang back after your lesson to observe (a large viewing gallery above the pool is available, however please be respectful of participants & instructors that are in session). This is a public pool facility, so please follow all safety protocols (i.e. no running on deck)
With that in mind, I look forward to seeing you all out there and ready to have a blast in the pool.

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

Mississauga Dinner Meetup – Bowling at Classic Bowl | Meet New People 🎳
This time we’re keeping things fun and active by hitting the lanes for some bowling at Classic Bowl, followed by grabbing dinner nearby! Here’s what to expect
* We will meet at **6:00 PM** at Classic Bowl to put our names down for a lane.
* Since they do not allow reservations for just one lane, we will be walking in. Please note there is a chance we might need to wait a bit for a lane to open up!
* After bowling, we will head to a nearby restaurant for dinner to hang out. We plan to wrap everything up around 9:00 PM.
* Everyone pays for their own share. The lane is about $70/hr which we will split. If possible, please bring cash.
* If your plans change, please cancel at least a day before so we know who to expect for the lane.
* Limited to **12 seats** only this time, since a single bowling lane holds exactly 6 people!
This is a relaxed, social evening—come by, meet new people, and enjoy some bowling and great food together.

Also included: Oscar-themed trivia with prizes from local businesses, on-site paparazzi, and the Drexel's Oscar ballot contest with a chance to win a year of free Drexel movies!

DRESS: Dressing up for the occasion art of part of the fun! Dress up as much as you like – there will be everything from casual to formal at the event! Or you can go in character as one of this year’s nominated films!
ARRIVAL: Doors open for CMG at 5:30pm so that’s when we’ll plan to meet! That’ll give us plenty of time to fill out our Oscar Ballots, pick up some free popcorn, candy, and something to drink, mix, mingle, take some photos, pick up your Newfangled Kitchen Meal Deal, grab a seat in our CMG Reserved Section, then settle in to enjoy the Academy Awards on the Big Screen!
PICTURES: We’ll take pics throughout the evening and the Drexel Paparazzi will be on hand as well. We’ll also take a big group photo around 6:40 near the entrance before the show begins. If you happen to take some good shots yourself, be sure to upload them on the Oscar Party Meetup event!
RESERVED SEATING: As you enter the theater, the roped off section to the right marked “Reserved” is reserved for you, your guest(s) and the Columbus Movie Group!
VEGAN MEALS: As previously mentioned, the food vendor does NOT have a vegan option at this year’s Oscar Party. However, we DO have a solution! I have reached out to several individuals who are affected. If you are a vegan, plan to attend the Oscar Party and did not receive an e-mail from me, please reach out via private message post a note below. I’ll provide details off-line.
And while there won’t be a vegan meal option this year, I think we do have a workable solution. And, all other plans are usiness-as-usual: popcorn, sodas, candy, on-site paparazzi, decorations, bar drinks (including your first drink on the house), the Drexel’s Annual Oscar ballot contest, along with the Big Show on the Big Screen and a fun group of Movie Group friends to watch ‘em with!
