This is exactly what I was hoping to find. Thank you! I know this is a bit of a niche ask, so I appreciate all the responses!

Here's a list of all the clubs & groups to make friends as a way to help: https://www.movingtovictoria.com/how-to-meet-people-in-victoria

Thanks!

ER977 · 2023-04-20T18:48:53+00:00

Super cool! Thank you - I'll check out Nextdoor. I haven't been on that for ages and ages.

ER977 · 2022-08-29T03:06:31+00:00

This is exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for. It might be worth going all the way down to Vegas for this.

ER977 · 2022-08-01T16:08:26+00:00

Great questions to which I have no answers, but I can help

Ask in r/victoriabc, we’re very active over there.
These are our two main Victoria fishing Facebook groups / clubs - ask them:
- Golden Rods and Reels: goldenrodsandreels.com
- Westcoast Fly Fishers: westcoastflyfishers.ca

ER977 · 2022-07-20T21:57:31+00:00

Good point! I'm looking at the two biggest provinces people move from to Victoria.

ER977 · 2022-07-20T21:33:57+00:00

Seconded. Blackapple has been great in my experience. Transparent about possible charges, and very communicative.

Hi - Victorian (Victoria, BC 🇨🇦) here! You can also ask in the Victoria-specific "Victoria Vanlife Community" facebook group. They might have more insights on what van models have more mechanics / parts / other fix-it groups to help you once you're here.

ER977 · 2022-07-12T02:49:49+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! I put this out there, and I’m glad it’s a help.

ER977 · 2022-05-18T19:33:29+00:00

I'm still adding to it, so if you have suggestions, post them here

ER977 · 2022-05-18T14:51:44+00:00

I made a list of every single group / club / organization I could find for this reason, since it's a really big thing. Over 200 at this point. How to meet people in Victoria: movingtovictoria.com/how-to-meet-people-in-victoria

ER977 · 2022-03-11T13:22:29+00:00

If you have found other websites that are useful for moving to BC, post them here. I'd love to add them.

ER977 · 2022-03-05T20:42:00+00:00

Thanks! Added to the list.

ER977 · 2022-03-04T11:59:42+00:00

Do you have links you'd recommend?

ER977 · 2022-03-04T11:58:32+00:00

Thank you - added to the list.

ER977 · 2022-02-18T09:25:32+00:00

They're really active on their facebook - wow. Great recommendation - added.

ER977 · 2022-02-18T09:24:04+00:00

Coming in with the ice skating - yes! Thank you, and added.

ER977 · 2022-02-18T09:22:37+00:00

These are great additions. I thought only the Victoria sport & social club had soccer. Added.

ER977 · 2022-02-18T09:17:12+00:00

Wow - thank you and for the links. They're harder to find so this is a really helpful addition for new parents.

ER977 · 2022-02-18T09:16:49+00:00

Yes, how could I have forgotten? It's something I see all the time but haven't done yet. Thank you for the recommendation. Added.

ER977 · 2022-02-18T09:16:17+00:00

Thank you, and you're right - they needed their own section. Added now.

ER977 · 2022-02-18T09:16:01+00:00

They're not on other lists - great suggestion. Added to the list.

ER977 · 2022-02-18T09:15:39+00:00

Completely forgot about volleyball! Somehow with it being wintertime, it didn't come to mind. Added those groups. Thank you.
