Dragon Boat Training and Paddling in Toronto

Scarborough, ON

Dragon Boat Training and Paddling in Toronto
As featured on [global news](https://globalnews.ca/video/9599501/torontos-only-dragon-boat-indoor-paddling-pool/) and [blogto!](https://www.blogto.com/fitness/afterburn-fitness-toronto/) Meet new people, get outside, move and learn to paddle with a dragon boat team! The origins of dragon boating are rooted in Chinese tradition for over 200 years. It has exploded across a wide variety of populations from recreational to elite athletes, able and special needs. It's growth can be attributed to it's need to have over 22 people on one team and the special bond that's created when training and racing with 10 women and 10 men together. It's the ultimate team sport. The Water Vipers Dragon Boat team is known for the last 14 years as a team that gets the most out of what it puts in whether its time, money and fun. We welcome people with experience and without and of all backgrounds. And if the timing or goals don't align we'll be able to refer you to other teams as I run a gym and paddling club dedicated to the sport. Our team trains indoors from October to April on Saturdays at 730am at Afterburn Fitness in Scarborough; Afterburnfitness.ca The sessions consist of one hour of paddling in a specialized pool (no swimming/ you won't get wet) and one hour of strength and conditioning training both instructed by certified coaches From May to September we paddle at Sunnyside Paddling Club twice a week on Wednesdays at 715pm and Saturdays at 930am. Accommodations can be made if the times don't workout great. Once a week is also possible. First session is free and subsequent one will be pro-rated for when you start and what you can do. Our typical water season costs are $600-$700 including practices, coaching and 4 races over the season (May to September) Check out our social: @watervipers, https://wvipers.wixsite.com/watervipers

--------------------

Real business isn’t done in board meetings; it’s done over a half-eaten plate of buffalo wings at the sports bar, or during the intermission of a Broadway show. It’s done through an enthusiastic greeting, with an unexpected recommendation, or by offering up your cab when it’s raining. It happens in the small personal interactions that allow us to prove to each other who we are and what we believe in.

THE GUILD | Real Friends TO East (20s/30s)

Scarborough, ON

THE GUILD | Real Friends TO East (20s/30s)
Welcome to the Toronto East Kingdom Real Friends Guild Meetup! --- **TLDR:** We are a diverse and welcoming group young adults (20s-30s) primarily based in Toronto's East End. The goal of this group is to create a community of REAL, authentic humans, where everyone can find a sense of belonging. We all need genuine connections, and sometimes a hug, in this busy megacity. We want to be “strangers” turned friends and participate in a wide selection of activities together. There will be FREE events, and there will be PAID, managed events. We just want to experience life together, help each other, and learn while having fun. --- **ACTIVITIES TO EXPECT:** * Cafe/restaurant meets and chats (very casual and * Speed friendship events * Boardgames meetups * Movie nights * Team sports meetups * Beginner friendly workout meetups * Scavenger hunts! * Nature walks / hikes * Online gaming nights *** A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE WHY'S AND HOW'S This meetup group is created as part of a much larger project that I (Zeal) am trying to assemble. For now the group will ficus on young adults in their 20s & 30s. The bigger purpose is to address and tackle the epidemic of loneliness in our society. Any of you who may be interested may approach me freely and let me know if you want to be part of this project. The problem of loneliness in our modern world and society is well documented, but at this time it is at a peak. Toronto is one of the loneliest cities in the world according to recent data (although more needs to be done on the research). Furthermore, personally I think in-person meetups plummeted in Canada since the pandemic, and the number of meetup groups also decreased. I could not find many meetup events in the East End in recent months, so I decided to create one. What I hope to achieve from this group is to create a regular routine of having 2-3 in-person meetups a month (for most months) so that we can truly create a community that people can belong to. This is our best way of combating loneliness in big cities - deliberately coming together to form communities, learn about each other, accpet each other, share moments and memories together. I aim to personally curate certain events to make things more fun. For example, speed friendship events (like speed dating, but a lot more casual and chill), cozy introvert hangouts, online gameshows, and perhaps city-wide scavenger hunts someday 😅. This is not my first time doing this though. I have managed 2 meetup groups in the past (in Toronto & Vancouver), and have organized and managed events for 10+ years on and off. So, I do know some of the challenges we may face. That is also why some events will be PAID events - there is cost in hosting a meetup group, and organizing events. In order to integrate this community further and share more opportunities to connect and participate, the group members will have access to a Discord server in the future. WIth that being said... Join us to connect with like-minded individuals and become part of not only fighting loneliness, but creating a genuine community together that may just become the best experience in your Toronto life! :)

Toronto Underwater Sports (Rugby and Hockey)

Toronto, ON

Toronto Underwater Sports (Rugby and Hockey)
Yes, **UNDERWATER** rugby and hockey! When you’re underwater there’s **ZERO gravity** which makes it the best use of a pool's deep end you'll ever experience. **Underwater Rugby** The game can be played strategically, for those who **don’t want to be held underwater** or as a **full-contact** sport should you keep possession of the submersible ball. Because of you're underwater, there are **360 degrees of attack** to watch out for! Cycling up and down with a partner, you **each take turns on the surface catching your breath.** When under the waves you "fly" down to help your team by sneaking or stealing the ball away. Think of it as snorkelling with a purpose. Two opposing teams of 6 players work in tandem to you get the salt water-filled ball into the other team’s net; guarded on the pool's bottom by a goalie. Totally **CO-ED & ALL AGES** fun! Bring a bathing suit & towel, we’ve got the rest. **FREE** to Try *\*\*A swim test is required to meet safety and insurance requirements \*\** **Underwater Hockey** The sport was first invented by divers in the 1950s. It is a non-contact sport in which two teams compete in a pool to maneuver a puck across the bottom and into the opposing team’s 3 meter long net. It is played with snorkeling gear and a short stick; different from a regular hockey stick. Say what, you say? Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAukrpTEvZA Like UWR, this game is **CO-ED & ALL AGES** fun! Bring a bathing suit & towel, we’ve got the rest. We welcome players both new and old on our Monday night games!

At TAG, we believe in meeting new friends through the old fashion way,  which is to meet new friends in person, through attending fun & friendly social events, NOT through creepy online messages.  Violators will be banned from the group permanently.

Please see below for details of our member policies :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zero Tolerance Harassment Policy 

Toronto Asian Group (TAG) 20s-30s  is NOT a dating group but instead is meant to be a social group with ZERO expectations, ZERO pressure and ZERO HARASSMENT between our members. We have ZERO TOLERANCE towards harassment of any kind within the group. 

This includes and is not limited to acts of harassments conducted through phone, email, text messaging, Meetup member messaging, or during an TAG event. 

All members are encouraged to inform the organizer team immediately if he/she has been subjected to such acts of harassment. We will investigate the issue immediately and the member causing the harassment will be removed from the group immediately. We strive to maintain Toronto Asian Community  as a friendly, positive and safe social environment for all members.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

RSVP & Attendance Policy:

Here at Toronto Asian Group (TAG) 20s-30s,  we put in a lot of effort in planning and organizing events to provide a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone. Therefore, when you RSVP "YES" to an event, you are expected to commit to your RSVP to the event and observe the following RSVP policies: 

1. RSVP Cancellation Deadline: Every event will have a RSVP cancellation deadline. This deadline can be found on the event description page. Basically, this is the last day that you can cancel your RSVP. After this deadline, you are considered committed to your RSVP to the event. If you need to cancel your RSVP, cancel before the deadline. 

2. Late Bail Out (LBO): If you cancel your RSVP AFTER the RSVP cancellation deadline, you are now considered to have Late Bailed Out (LBO) for the event. You will receive a strike on your record with the group (which will say something like "LATE BAILOUT mmddyy", where "mmddyy" is the date of the event you late bailed). 

3. No Show (NS): If you have RSVP'd "YES" to an event, and you did not show up at the event. You are now considered No Show for the event. You will be removed from the group immediately.

This is in effect because we consider No Show to be inconsiderate and disrespectful to the hard work that our organizers have put into organizing and hosting events (you wouldn't do this to your friends or family right?). 

However, if special circumstances applied to your No Show; it is up to you to inform the event organizer of such circumstances. It is at the sole discretion of the organizer to remove the ban or apply a no show strike on your record.

4. Event Crashing (EC): Participation of all TAG events requires RSVP sign-up. Our organizers need to know exactly how many people will show up at an event so they can plan accordingly. If you show up at an event without prior RSVP or have not obtained permission from the event organizer to attend the event without RSVP'ing, you will cause event accommodation issues for the organizer. We do not appreciate nor accept this behavior.

Therefore, if you show up at an event without prior RSVP or event organizer approval, you will receive a strike on your record for Event Crashing (EC), which will say something like "EVENT CRASH mmddyy", where "mmddyy" is the date of the event which EC occurred. 

5. Two(2) Strike Policy: TAG is currently operating on a two strike RSVP policy, if you have accumulated 2 strikes/warnings on your record of any kind, you are immediately removed from the group. Strikes may be removed from a person record. given that they have had 5 consecutive events with no issues. That member may contact a co-organizer to request a removal of the strike.

6. Inviting guests to events: Some events may allow members to invite guest(s) to attend the event. If you would like to bring a friend to an event, please note that all rules & policies will extend to your guest on your behalf. All policy violations associated with your guest will be reflected on your record (For example: if your guest have LBO'ed from an event, it may result in a LBO strike on your record. If your guest has No Show'ed at the event or if we receive harassment complaints regarding the guest from other TAG members, then you may be removed from the group permanently). Therefore, please invite guests wisely in order to ensure that the guest invitations will not result in a negative impact on your membership standing with TAG.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
