Your Community Is Looking – Are You Showing Up?

Now’s the time to make sure your profile is working for you. Take a few minutes to review and update your listing so potential customers, collaborators, and community members can find you easily. The app connects thousands of users across South and Southwestern Ontario — make sure your info is current, complete, and compelling.

Don’t miss your chance to be seen!

Get Outside with Locally Connected Outdoor Adventures!

Join us for our first-ever Outdoor Adventures event this Sunday, August 10 at Huron Natural Area in Kitchener! Led by our volunteer Sports & Recreation Coordinator, Ryan Marriott, this family- and dog-friendly trail hike is a fun, casual way to connect with others and enjoy the outdoors. Bring a friend, partner, kiddo — or your pup!
The hike begins at 9:30 AM (so arrive a few minutes early) and get ready to move, mingle, and make memories.

Click here to RSVP, and we’ll see you on the trail!
