Settled into your new neighbourhood but looking to make meaningful connections?
Two things we encourage you to keep in mind:
1) Don’t be shy!
2) Take this guide to heart.
Join local meetups/events: Explore your passions by joining clubs or attending events. From bookworms to sports enthusiasts, there’s a group for everyone.
Visit community centres: Discover hidden talents and meet like-minded people at local centres offering fitness classes and workshops.
Support local businesses: Nurture community ties by becoming a regular at local shops and eateries. You’ll quickly become a familiar face.
Join local Facebook groups: Stay in the loop with neighbourhood news, events, and discussions. It’s a virtual way to connect with your community.
Explore parks and trails: Enjoy the outdoors while meeting fellow nature lovers. Parks and trails are hubs for active individuals seeking connections.
Attend HOA meetings: If applicable, participate in Homeowners Association meetings. You’ll meet neighbours, make connections, and be able to shape your neighbourhood.
Engage with schools: Connect with fellow parents and educators by participating in school activities, PAC meetings, or volunteering.
Host a meet-and-greet: Break the ice by hosting a casual gathering like a potluck or barbecue. It’s a friendly way to introduce yourself and meet new folks.
Remember, building connections takes time, so say yes, initiate conversations, and take advantage of opportunities to meet others.
The South Okanagan is waiting to welcome you with open arms!
