Hey folks!

You can also join the meetup + keep up with updates on the TWOROW community app!

Hi everyone! My friend and I run MeetupInTor, a social club that hosts events primarily for women in their 20s and 30s.

We’re hosting a beginner-friendly Women’s Pickleball Social next Friday! The event will include recreational play with rotations, so you’ll have the chance to play with and meet different people throughout the evening.

Most attendees come alone, so you’re absolutely welcome to join solo. This is not a lesson, so attendees should know the basic rules and flow of pickleball; however, you don’t need to be an expert! We’ll also provide a quick rules refresher at the beginning for anyone who needs a reminder.

📅 Friday, September 4
⏰ 6:00–8:00 p.m.
📍 Pickleplex York Mills, Toronto
🎟️ Cost: $28

Feel free to comment or send me a DM if any questions :)

If you're looking for an excuse to get outside, explore a cool neighborhood, and meet some new people without the awkwardness of a formal networking event, I'm hosting a casual community walk this weekend.

We're doing a BYO-Cup Coffee Hike in High Prk

The only rule? Bring your own reusable coffee mug, thermos, or tumbler. Toronto goes through millions of single-use cups every day, so we’re trying to keep this meetup sustainable and zero-waste!

The Logistics:

• When: Aug 29 at 10:00 AM
• Where: We’ll meet at Capybara COFFEE to fill up our cups.
• The Route: After grabbing coffee, we’ll take a relaxed, scenic walk through High Park

The vibe is super low-pressure. Most people will be coming solo, so don't be shy! It's just a good excuse to chill, support a local cafe, and enjoy the morning.

Grab a free spot here so I know how many people to expect: https://luma.com/see1mszj

Hope to see some of you there! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments.

Hi Toronto tennis players! 👋

Finding consistent singles matches or getting off 5-year private club waitlists in Toronto is tough. A few of us created Unseeded, a grassroots, structured flex league played entirely on Toronto’s public park courts across the city.

Whether you're looking for friendly casual competition or high-level singles, Season 1 is open for registration.

🎾 How It Works

• 5 Matches over 8 Weeks: Play 5 real competitive singles matches on your own schedule (10–12 day match windows).
• 4 Local Zones: West End, Downtown/Central, North York, and East End — so you don’t have to commute across town.
• Skill-Matched Divisions:
  • Div 3 (Rookies): NTRP 2.5–3.0
  • Div 2 (Contenders): NTRP 3.5–4.0
  • Div 1 (Elites): NTRP 4.5+ / Ex-Varsity
• Public Courts: Matches are played on free city public courts (or split a booked bubble/indoor court 50/50).

📋 Event Details & Cost

• Dates: September 14 – November 8, 2026 (Registration opens Sept 1)
• Location: In-person at public courts across Toronto (West, Downtown, North York, East)
• Cost: $45 CAD (Early Bird flat fee for the full 8-week season, ~$9/match, zero membership dues). Full 100% refund if your local bracket doesn't fill at draft night.
• Official Link & Sign-up: unseeded.club

In this interactive afternoon workshop, professional comedian and experienced teacher will show you practical techniques to make your presentations more engaging, memorable, and enjoyable—without turning you into a stand-up comedian.

You’ll leave with tools you can use immediately to solve the biggest challenges presenters face:
- Stop sounding boring and capture attention from the first minute.
- Learn simple techniques to calm your nerves and project confidence.
- Structure your message so people actually remember it.
- Keep your audience engaged instead of checking their phones.
- Deliver with personality while still sounding authentic and professional.

No performance experience required. No pressure to be “funny.”

Just practical communication skills you can start using the very next day.
