🍔🍦 DANFORTH BURGER & ICE CREAM WALK! 🍦🍔
🍔🍦 DANFORTH BURGER & ICE CREAM WALK! 🍦🍔
A Summer Evening Stroll, One of Toronto's Most Underrated Burgers & Giant Ice Cream Scoops
Sometimes the best events are the simplest ones.
Join us for a relaxed summer evening walk along the Danforth as we make our way from Main Street Station to Broadview Station,
enjoying one of Toronto's most vibrant neighbourhoods along the way.
This isn't about rushing from place to place. It's about getting outside, enjoying the evening, meeting new people, and sharing a couple of local favourites that many Torontonians still haven't discovered.
Our first stop will be Square Boy, a true Danforth institution that serves some of the most underrated burgers in Toronto. No fancy gimmicks. No social media hype. Just great burgers that locals have loved for decades. 🍔 They are soo goo that they ONLY TAKE CASH!
After we've eaten, we'll walk across the street to Kawartha Dairy for dessert. If you've never been before, prepare yourself.
The scoops are legendary.
Seriously.
Most first-time visitors cannot believe how much ice cream they give you. 🍦😄
Afterward, we'll continue our walk west along the Danforth toward Broadview Station, enjoying the neighbourhood, conversation, and hopefully a beautiful summer evening.

Creator Collaboration Night 🎥🚀
The best content often starts with one simple question:
**"What should we make today?"**
This meetup is all about bringing creators together to brainstorm ideas, discover viral trends, and turn them into content.
Whether you're creating for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or Facebook, you'll meet people who are excited to collaborate, experiment, and help each other grow.
During the meetup we'll:
💡 Brainstorm new content ideas together
📱 Find trending and viral videos that we can recreate with our own creative twist
🎬 Plan social media videos to film together
🤝 Meet creators looking for long-term collaborators
📸 Film content whenever possible during the meetup
🚀 Encourage each other to post consistently and grow together
🎭 Share feedback, improve ideas, and inspire one another
Creating content alone can be difficult. Sometimes the hardest part isn't filming—it's simply coming up with the next idea.
This meetup gives you a room full of creative people to bounce ideas off, spot trending content, and find videos that can be recreated in fun, original ways.
No expensive equipment is required. A phone is more than enough to get started.
Whether you're making your very first video or you've been creating content for years, everyone is welcome.
Bring your ideas—or come with none at all.
We'll come up with something together. 🎬✨

🍂 Rouge National Urban Park Hike and Picnic🌳
🍂 **Fall Walk: Rouge National Urban Park** 🌳
is Canada's only Urban Park and is one of our most popular hikes that we do as it's really the only hiking trail in Toronto that you can get to by TTC. Once you are on the trail you will not believe that you are still in the City. Not only will we be walking up and hills but I will take you to one of the best lookout points in the Valley. You don't want to miss an afternoon of hiking.
This trail can be a bit challenging (with some ups and downs), so it may not be the best choice for beginners. But if you’re up for it, you’ll feel proud of yourself at the end — and you’ll have shared the experience with a great group of people.
After the hike, we’ll enjoy a **group picnic** (30–40 mins). Please bring something small to share — nothing too big so it’s easy to carry! 🥪🍎

Melancholia
Be prepared for an entirely different type of sci-fi movie!
Unofficially, the second movie in director Lars von Trier's "Depression Trilogy," 2011 Melancholia depicts the events that occur before a rogue planet is about to collide with the earth. Considered by many to be a masterpiece, the film was included in BFI's 2022 Sight and Sound Poll of the greatest movies of all time.
It is available at the library as well as on Kanopy.
Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
