Hi @BrianC! I was going to let you know that there is a very active community in Toronto but @RichardTrus beat me to it. 🙂
On top of joining the unofficial Toronto Local Guides community, you can also search the community in Connect for mentions of "Toronto" to find posts that have that name in the title, body of the post, or the location tag. You will be able to find posts by other Local Guides who are looking to organise a meet-up as well. Feel free to jump into these threads and express your interest. Tips and step-by-step guidance on organising a meet-up can be found here.
Richard, have you submitted your meet-up details in our newly-launched meet-up site? I really recommend you to! 🙂
New to Connect? Check out Help Desk! Always keep in mind the Local Guides program rules when posting.

@JeslynL it looks awesome - we'll be using it to post our March meetups.
Look forward to seeing new faces at our next meetup.

Hi, all. I've been getting to know Local Guides Connect and checking out the help posts regarding Toronto meetups. It's been quite the learning curve, perhaps because I expected there to be some -- even a lot -- of meetups in 2017 and especially during Map Your World Week (March 13-19). However, other than the meetup I posted there are no additional events listed at the link below, including the Pickering event I recall reading about. [This latter event is obviously not found in a "toronto" search...]

Hi Ed

Yep. 🙂 I'll contact you about it... -Ed

Hi Ed,
You're right. I even posted the Pickering meet-up to the Toronto Local Guides group on G+ as I thought some Toronto peeps would want to come, but it must have not worked or been removed. Still somewhat new to working with G+...
Hope you guys will find it and sign up!
