What we’re about

This group was born out of a desire to create a community for women who are redefining societal expectations by choosing to be single and unmarried (can be in a relationship) and who are also childfree (have never had children by choice or circumstance, or do not plan to have children). If you fall into those categories, guess what? You're a SWaNK🥰 a Single Woman and No Kids!

Welcome to the Toronto chapter of SWaNK. It is a local community of women organized by and for women who identify with being a SWaNK. Join our Meetup group for events and gatherings that will include entertainment, support, friendship, and fun with other women who have chosen chose the SWaNK lifestyle.

We are also now on Instagram and Twitter. Follow us @ SWaNKToronto

The SWaNK Evolution is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and is expanding to other parts of the continent. If you are interested in being a leader, please contact Carolyn Quan, the Founder of SWaNK, for more information: http://SWaNKEvolution.com

SWaNK ATTENDANCE POLICIES:

**No shows without reason x 3 will result in removal and ban from the group.** Please be respectful of your fellow group members & organizer’s time and energy by avoiding no shows unless illness or emergency arises. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis.

Please do not bring guests (non members) or pets unless the event states otherwise.

ABOUT EVENT FEES
An event that requires an Event Organizer to secure a criterion, setting, or venue will likely require an event fee paid up front. Each event will be priced with the intent to cover expenses for the event, or to avoid no shows, not to produce revenue. Any surplus will serve as the operating budget to used towards these expenses:

  • Incidental costs (e.g. to help subsidize fees for larger events (e.g. the cost to secure a permit, rental fees, etc.) or
  • Assisting members with financial difficulty with a subsidy to promote accessibility to certain events. Events where financial subsidy is available will be noted in the event. Please make a request for consideration to the event host.

Any revenue above and beyond what is needed to cover event fees, the Organizer Fee, or incidental costs in a given year will roll into the next year to fund these same annual expenses.

WHO ARE THE ORGANIZERS?
Our intrepid leader Melissa has stepped down, and we have a fantastic group of capable volunteers ready & excited to carry on this group’s mission to make your social life SWaNKtastic! Please note this group is not about meeting men, it is about building strong female friendships and connections.
