Building Community on the North Shore: May Highlights to Connect and Explore

Spring is in full swing, and the North Shore is buzzing with things to do, places to be, and ways to be active or meet your neighbours. Whether you're a local looking for a new activity or new to the area and exploring the vibes, these events bring the North Shore’s vibrant energy to life. Here’s what’s coming up this May.

Start Your Sundays with a Run and a Smile

A community of people who love a good run and a tremendous post-run coffee gathers every Sunday at 9:00 am at Logjam Coffee (437 Tranquille Road). No registration, no pressure—just relaxed jogs ranging from a short 3 km to a more ambitious 10 km, making it perfect for all levels. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply enjoying the fresh air, the vibe is all about fun and connection. After the run, many participants hang out at Logjam to grab a coffee and chat about their favourite routes. It's a great way to kickstart your Sunday morning, and you can follow them on Instagram for updates on the weekly route.

Dancing Date Nights at Bridgeview Theatre

Step out of your comfort zone and into a new rhythm at Bridgeview Theatre (106 Tranquille Road). On select Sundays: March 30, April 27, May 25, and June 29, join the fun from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm for beginner-friendly ballroom dance classes. At $37.50 per person, these classes welcome both couples and solo dancers. It’s a fantastic way to connect, learn new moves, and share plenty of laughs along the way. And the best part? Childcare is available. Ask before booking to make your night even easier.

Pop-Up Sundays at Haus of Misfit

A vibrant spring local pop-up to light up your Sundays! Every other Sunday, April 13, April 27, May 11, and May 25, Haus of Misfit (275 Tranquille Road) transforms into a vibrant market of artisans, vendors, and creators from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. It’s the perfect way to support small businesses and find unique pieces while enjoying the community vibe.

National Aboriginal Hockey Championships

This isn’t just a tournament; it’s a celebration of Indigenous excellence, culture, and sport. From May 4 to 11, the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships will take over McArthur Island Sports Centre and Sandman Centre. With over 500 athletes, families, and fans expected, this week-long event showcases top Indigenous hockey talent from across Canada and promises powerful moments both on and off the ice.

The North Shore is more than just a place to live; it’s a place to experience. From movement and music to community markets and championship hockey, there’s something for everyone.

Whether you’re joining a group run, dancing with new friends, or cheering on future hockey stars, these moments are all part of what makes the North Shore special—and why building community is at the heart of everything we do.
