Halifax Busker Festival: Group Outing

Graphic novels and comics are not just for kids!

They are a great way to ease back into reading without a long time commitment.

We will start the night with a quick round of intros, then the moderator will present the book of the night, the classic "Fun Home" by Alison Bechdel, and ask the group probing questions, prompting you to reflect on your reading experience.

We will close off with a round of favourite art, where everyone shares which page they liked the best. Of course, you will be expected to have read the graphic novel in advance.

You can borrow physical or digital copies at the Halifax Public Libraries for free.

Happy reading!

Let's enjoy the last half of summer by heading out onto the water.

We'll meet up, grab a couple of canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards then paddle along the Dartmouth waterfront while enjoying the calm waves.

It'll be a pretty casual outing of about 6-12 people meeting up at 1:45 pm for a quick chat before pairing up for canoes, upgrading to kayaks, and making our way into the water.

There will be beginner instructions, life jackets, and likely others who are canoeing & kayaking for the first time. 

For those who prefer canoes, we'll try to have at least 1 experienced person per boat.

Once we're on the water, we'll explore for about 2 hours and possibly have side quests to complete.

Then we'll wrap up around 4 pm,  say our goodbyes, and for those feeling peckish, head over to Milestones for a quick bite.

Lastly, most people come to our events alone, but if you have a plus one, please add them when you RSVP.

See you soon.

It'll be a casual show-and-tell style hangout where we show where we're at with a project, chat about why we stopped or what we'll work on today, and co-craft / create together.

For those without a portable hobby craft / side project, we'll have some jigsaw puzzles, art supplies, and an open space to share ideas and test things out together.

We'll also have some card and board games around for those who'd like to play a game, or test game ideas of their own.

There will be some light conversation in the beginning, and the rest will be more open than our conversation nights.

And of course, there will be snacks 😊

Join us for a chill evening of snacks, chatting, and playing a quick warmup game before playing Eldritch Horror.

We’ll start the evening with a quick round of intros and light conversation while we settle in, then we'll play.

For all games, we'll give an intro, explain the rules, and walk through the play by play for a few rounds until it all clicks. Then the training wheels are off and the game is on! 

Afterwards we'll conclude with celebrating our wins, accepting our losses, and heading home for the night.

More details to come, but essentially we'll have an open craft park hangout with some live music.

Let's celebrate the fun we've had all summer with a harp infused magical picnic.

We'll meet up, head to our picnic spot, enjoy a private live music performance by local harpist Isabelle Gagnon, and snack, chat, craft, and chill the afternoon away.

This hangout will start with light conversation, but be more open ended on where the conversations go and side conversations begin.

There will be craft supplies available for you to paint, draw, sketch, and mould, and you can also bring your own projects as well.

We'll wrap things up shortly after the performance, but feel free to stick around and enjoy the last bits of summer.
