So to begin with Meetups will be in and around the Port Moody/Coquitlam area, until I have a good sense of what locations will work best for everyone. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your experiences of how you came to be in Canada and hopefully together get a bit of an Aussie fix, so that no one gets homesick.

… Also, that he got his stockbrokering advice from Lorne Greene? And that some of his films like "The Intruder", a film about institutionalized racism in the States back in the era of segregation, were too controversial for theaters to play? We will discuss his life and more at our meetups.   His films are actually educational if you want to know more about the tumultuous times he lived in. Great if you love history and sociology, or if you're just a Shatner fan!   When we get enough members, we w …

I started this group for those in the Whatcom County (WA) area (though BC residents are also welcome from the nearby White Rock, and Surrey areas as well!).  This group is about honest concern for potential events that might endanger the well-being of your family and other loved ones, and about formulating some backup plans in case other municipal, State or Federal response/support or other commercial options are not accessible.   It's not about panic, but instead preparation to respond to poten …
