How do I meet people in Canada?
When we asked people living in Canada about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"Most things happen in, on or around Okanagan Lake which divides Kelowna and West Kelowna. There are two waterfronts with walkways. Music in the park on Friday evenings during summer. Festivals, street parades, wine tasting, cherry picking, beaches, parks, bears, hiking, mountain biking," remarked one member in Kelowna.
"There are lots of social activities in and around where I live. For example, University of Toronto offers all kinds of courses, lectures, classes, etc., which anyone can take," explained one expat living in Toronto, Canada.
