What's inside
- Just added — every new group that joined the directory this week, with a one-line description and a direct link. The directory tracks 251+ groups across 40 categories, and it grows most weeks.
- The spotlight — each issue digs into one category (sauna crews, zine makers, birding walks…) and pulls out a few groups worth knowing about, whether you're new to the city or have lived here for decades.
- The weather-honest opener — yes, the email checks the forecast and admits when it's raining.
Why it exists
Vancouver can feel like a hard city to make friends in. The directory exists to prove there's more going on here than people think — and the roundup is the low-effort way to keep a finger on it. Most people who find their group found it because someone happened to mention it at the right time. This email is that someone.
The fine print
It's free, it's weekly, and your email is used for exactly one thing: sending it. Occasionally an issue carries one clearly-labeled paid classified from a local business — that's what keeps the directory free. Unsubscribe is one click, no guilt trip.
