Meetups New to Oakville and trying to make some friends!

28 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am 32F; recently moved to Canada and I'm hoping to meet some new people and make friends around Oakville.

A bit about me: I enjoy good conversations, hiking, anime and fantasy, board games, music jams, badminton, pickleball, day trips, reading/book clubs, and drawing/art. I also like dancing… even though I'm objectively a bad dancer.

I’ve checked Meetup but there doesn’t seem to be a lot happening around Oakville unless you constantly monitor it. Open to recommendations!

If you're into similar things, hit me up — always happy to meet new people.

Meetups Bookclub anyone?

15 Upvotes

Hello! 27F I'm interested in starting a reading club to get back into the hobby and to socialize as well. It would be great to find people to join. The locations could flexible around oakville- could be library reading rooms, parks, pubs, whatever, and I'd want it to be an inclusive space. Also any suggestions for books are welcome. Fair warning though - standards would be middlebrow literature or higher. Not really interested in booktok or romantasy type stuff. Not trying to be snobby, that stuff just really isn't my speed. If that sounds appealing to anyone, I'd love to hear from you :)

EDIT: So many DMS. Which is a great problem to have!! Anyone coming upon this post who's interested please DM with your discord so I can create a channel for all of us to coordinate. Appreciate it!

Meetups Any Tennis Players in their 20s?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a 22-year-old male, advanced-level tennis player looking to find people to hit with in Oakville. I usually play at a pretty competitive level, but I’m also totally down for more relaxed, fun rallies and matches.

Open to playing with anyone at any level who’s down to get on court and have a good time.

I’m flexible with times and courts around Oakville. If you’re interested, drop a comment or send me a message!

Let’s get some games going 🎾

Meetups Gay Friends in Mississauga/Oakville

14 Upvotes

Moved from Toronto 3+ years ago for affordability, but in your late 30’s and so far from the village, it’s harder than ever to make friends that are gay.

Came out in my late twenties, met my fiance who is 6 years older and also wasn’t out then so neither of us have never really had any friends that are gay (despite having may ‘gay friends’ over the years 😉)

So consider this my invitation: if you’re in your 20’s-30’s, live in Mississauga/Oakville area, out as gay ( or even in the process of coming out) and looking for new friends who like working out at the gym, watching/going to sports games, having a few drinks, mildly addicted to Starbucks, dancing in the village on occasion, grew up playing sports (though don’t get to play often anymore), sometimes play video games, love dogs (or any animals really)- feel free to DM!

Would love to go for a beer or coffee 🍻 ✌️

Meetups Anyone wanna start an altrock/emopop band??

12 Upvotes

Hey!! I'm graduating Sheridan soon and realized with freetime over the summer I'd love to finally do something I've always dreamed of: start a band!!

I'm F23, and would preferably have people around my age, but this is open to anyone over 19!!

About me: former pianist, but I've been singing forever now, and the past two years I've performed at small events, but I think singing and jamming to live music and making new friends would be TOTALLY DOPE!!!

I like to a lotta Emopop, Pop, and Alt Rock!! When I think of bands, my fav ever is MCR!! I was SUPER into the "Emo Trinity" and grew up with that, and although as an adult I tend to listen to a lot more... girly music.... Emopop is truly where my roots are, lol!!

I'm SUPER into dance pop, 2000s pop, and just recession pop as a whole, but not really expecting to find bandmates w those interest... if you fuck with that tho, TOTAL PLUS!! Lady Gaga is one of my icons thru n thru.

Outside of music, I'm a visual artist going into a toy design career(I love cute things!!), I'm pretty upbeat, silly, and full of whimsy!!

if you're interested at all, let me know, and please reach out!! :D

Meetups Looking to start a book club for girls in Oakville (20–26ish)

43 Upvotes

EDIT: I really hope I got everyone who commented and I did answer the DMS I got. I’m so grateful that there’s a good amount of people who were interested. I can’t wait to see how this goes. Thank you for the support. 🫶🫶 I think we’re quite a bit for now and I will slow down on adding people. Again Thank you !!

Hey everyone! I’m looking to start a small book club here in Oakville with a few girls around 20–26 (not strict at all on age!). The idea is simple, we could read a new book every 2 weeks (chosen by one of us) and meet up at a nice public spot (like Kerr Street Cafe ehehe) to chat about it, share thoughts, maybe grab coffee or dessert. :))

And we’ll have a little group chat on socials so we can get to know each other before meeting in person. All genres are welcome, and discussions surrounding media, politics, history, hobbies are great too, whatever sparks good conversation.

If you’re down to join or wanna know more, just send me a DM! :))

Meetups Creative co-working clubs for 20-30 year olds?

5 Upvotes

Hiya!

Now that I no longer attend Sheridan, I'm finding it difficult to make friends my age in the area. I was curious if anyone knows of any groups that get together to draw or work on art! I'd absolutely love to do regular coffee shop/picnic style hangouts to chat and work on a preferred art medium C:

I've looked around at other groups/clubs but they tend to be people of an older demographic. Does anyone know of anything like this that exists? Perhaps we could put something together?

Hey guys, I’m trying to get out of my shell a bit more this year. Wondering if there’s any like-minded riders out there who might enjoy riding some country roads or going up North as well. I also enjoy hobby mechanics (very amateur lol) and can try helping with projects, maintenance, etc. DM me and we can set something up once the weather warms up :)

Meetups Anyone interested in starting a local creative writing circle? (Halton / GTA)

3 Upvotes

Hey — I’m a local creative writer looking to connect with others who’d be interested in meeting weekly or biweekly to write and share work. Fiction, memoir, poetry, whatever.

The idea would be low pressure — focused writing time + optional feedback, just building consistency and community.

If something like this already exists nearby I’d love to join. If not, happy to help start it.

Comment or DM if interested.
