Who's in for a GTA / Peel Meetup?

I don't think I'm alone in wanting a meetup with fellow GTA members! 

Just gauging from the interest in another Canada thread, I think we need to have a GTA meetup!  I'm new to the BP site so I apologize if I'm missing one that's already running. (I couldn't seem to find one) 

One big hurdle that's really affecting us all these days is the Covid situation. +300 numbers today for Ontario with 112 in Toronto and 71 for Peel alone. So that makes getting together harder and more stressful. I'm sure I'm not the only one with a family and older relatives in that high risk category.  

I was going to suggest a meetup for late October to give people enough time to plan. Let's tentatively schedule something for then, and fingers crossed the Covid situation doesn't escalate us back into a stage 2 scenario. We can always look at virtual as an option as well. (Although I'm sure everyone is growing tired of talking over one another via zoom these days)

Who is interested? Let's see the amount of people looking to meetup then we can secure a location that suits us or take it online and see what happens.

Either way I'm super excited to meet others, learn more and hopefully contribute as well to us all getting more involved in the REI life!

Of course any thoughts, ideas or suggestions from everyone are welcome.

Hey, I think cause of Covid we can arrange a zoom meeting possibly to get to know everyone, then once everything settles down a bit we can possibly do an in-person one. 

This is a good opportunity for all of us to build a group while we're all on our devices!

    Great idea. I was thinking after Thanksgiving but not committed to it. Maybe let the idea float around for a bit and we can get more people involved. (Although a zoom with too many people is hard!)

    Has it been 10 days since I started this thread?  Wow.  To think I've purchased 4x2 multi units and cash flowing crazy since then.  OK, I haven't. But I think about it everyday, almost all day. Covid sucks and meeting up not a great idea right now.  What do we do?  A zoom meeting?  Awkward but maybe a good option.  Or does anyone want to meet up still?

    I'm definitely interested in a meet-up group. Although I am a complete newbie and would mostly be there to listen and ask questions. 

    Please let me know if you get this up and running.

    Would love to do this! ... but Friday is no good for me. Will be too busy at work before a long weekend. How about next Tue or Wed?

    Personally I prefer Fridays as the start of the work week really gets crazy.  Would October 16 work?  2pm or later.
