In the fall we hope to hold a Newcomers meeting every month to encourage new members to meet other members and learn more about their community.

Activity Groups

Activity Groups are open to Parksville Newcomers and to Alumni. The groups support two important Club goals: To support members in continuing or pursuing new interests, activities and hobbies; and provide members with opportunities to develop friendships and social networks.

Activity Groups are organized around an activity or hobby which is consistent with the Club’s purpose, values and goals. Each Activity Group has a volunteer coordinator who oversees the Group’s activities and provides information to its members and prospective members. Most activities take place from Sept. to June.
