Looking to meet new people and connect with the local community? Connect With Pride: Speed Friending Edition is coming to Kitsilano Neighbourhood House on Thursday, July 30.
Designed for 2SLGBTQIA+ community members and allies, this free event offers a welcoming and inclusive space to start conversations, make connections and potentially meet a few new friends along the way.
What Is Speed Friending?
Think speed dating, but strictly for friendship.
Throughout the evening, you’ll take part in a series of short, relaxed conversations with other attendees. It takes the pressure out of approaching someone new and gives everyone an easy way to break the ice.
You can attend solo or bring a friend. No awkward intros required—the event format will help get the conversations started.
