**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?
