We respectfully acknowledge the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose unceded territory we live, and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ nations whose relationships with these lands and waters shape their political thought, governance and self-determining authority that should inform how we all relate to this place. | Welcome!WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU AND WELCOME YOU TO OUR NEWCOMERS' CLUB! However, we reached membership capacity in late Spring 2022. In late August, quite a few of our NCGV members graduated, but we also had a long waitlist, so numbers are still close to capacity. For now, please contact our Membership Coordinator, Sheila Ronaghan, at ncgvmembership@gmail.com for more information. If a waitlist is still necessary, it will be maintained by her on a first-come, first-served basis, based on the date and time a request comes through her email. (All other membership criteria are also required for the waitlist.) Members do drop out during the year, as they move or find they don't have time for all of our great activities. If you are on a list, we hope the wait is short. We really do still want you to join us. Please consider getting in touch and we will meet you, we hope, very soon. NCGV Membership Benefits: NCGV membership offers a members-only tab for all the information that only members can see, including our:
Membership fee for September 1st, 2022 to August 31st, 2023 is $40. It would be great to have you join us! |
A Warm Welcome
The Newcomers’ Club of Greater Victoria warmly welcomes women of all ages to our club. We are a non-profit group, with members volunteering for all the positions that make this club so dynamic. If you’ve recently moved to the Greater Victoria area or have lived here for up to four years, we think you’ll find our club an excellent way to enjoy your new home, to meet other members and to develop lasting friendships. Explore our site to find out more about our monthly meetings and wide array of activities. Read more about the benefits of membership here. It would be great to have you join us!
About UsWe are a club of over 200 women from all parts of Canada and the world. We offer many opportunities for women to meet one another in a friendly atmosphere and to learn more about their new home. Monthly luncheon meetings with interesting speakers run from September to May. In June, we meet for our annual general meeting, and to bid our 'graduating' members adieu and bonne chance. In addition, we have over 20 activities and other events, some daytime, some evening, some that welcome members' partners. These range from bridge, book clubs and knitting to hiking, walking and gardening groups. While some activities cease over the summer months, others continue throughout the year. | Activities and EventsThere are so many exciting things to do with your Newcomers’ Club of Greater Victoria friends! Our activity groups reflect the interests of our members, so find a group that interests you, or plan to start a new one. We always welcome new ideas for activities and new conveners to help get them going. You can join an activity group anytime during the year, as long as spaces are available. Once you have joined an activity group, it is up to you to decide whether you would like to participate in all outings or just occasionally. Whatever works for you! |
