Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Sockeye salmon bbq, fireworks, food trucks, parade, and lots of music for Canada Day here in Steveston (Richmond, BC). Only downside is I live downstream of the parade route so I can’t use my car to go out, all the roads are blocked for the parade.
We live in Paradise.

So true. Happy Canada Day, everyone.
Spicy dry rub ribs on BBQ, potato salad, robust red wine, strawberries for dessert. What's not to like??

In 2017 we spent Canada day in Nova Scotia . It was much more of a deal than here in BC. I personally hate to admit it, but then they also party better than we westerners.
I'd happily trade Minnesota for QuebecHanging out in our 11th province are ya?

Root beer schnapps!
Lucky you. I'm on Vancouver Island. No one should move here. Terrible place to live. Last place in the world to visit. You have to risk sinking on a ferry to get here or run away. Weather is terrible. Pollution etc. Don't come here...

My wife was just sayin' the other day, "everybody who visits the island says it's a beautiful place to visit".
What happened there since my wife declared it a beautiful place to visit? Now I gotta tell her, again, she's wrong?

My wife can't indulge anymore for the same reason - meds. She can't, so I don't either (maybe once in a long while if we got out for a special supper I'll have one real drink). Neither of us drank much to begin with so not a big deal.
About 2 months ago I was thirsty enough to try one of her alcohol free beers - Corona Cero. I am hooked. Bought 4 cases at COSTCO when they went on sale.

Canada is a great place to live. Saskatchewan is even better. Saskatoon is another step closer to paradise. Finally, there's heaven on earth - my shop.
Cheers!
Cheers!
We like corona alcohol free too. But I'm not sure what Corona Cero is. Did you mean zero?

Corona cero
Corona Cero is an alcohol-free beer from Corona, brewed with 100% natural ingredients, offering the same crisp and refreshing taste as its alcoholic counterpart, with subtle citrus notes and a perfectly balanced flavor. It has 0.0% ABV and only 56 calories per bottle, making it suitable for consumption anytime, best served cold with a wedge of lime.
They are all fibbing. You know the expression: "Everything I say is a lie. I'm lying when i say this".
