Stitch & Pitch

An “unnetworking” gathering designed to bring creatives, students, and small entrepreneurs together through creativity and conversation.
About this Event

Instead of traditional networking, which can feel formal or intimidating, this free gathering is a welcoming space where you can do a small craft (such as colouring, doodling, knitting, embroidery, mending, crochet, or any simple hands-on activity) while practicing how to talk about what you do, what you care about, or what you're currently excited about. Colouring, mini crafts and fidget toys will be provided but please feel free to bring your own!

Please RSVP so we know how many people we're expecting.

The event will be lightly facilitated and there will be short, supportive conversation prompts that will help you share your interests, ideas, and passions with others in the room. The goal is not necessarily professional networking, but building confidence in speaking about our work, hobbies, and community dreams in a low-pressure environment.

We hope these conversations often reveal unexpected connections among neighbors with shared interests and skills.

Thank you to the Neighbourhood Small Grants and New West Family Place for supporting and sponsoring this event!
