Welcome!
We are happy to be able to now be offering many of our regular activities, just adapted and conducted differently so that we ensure everyone’s safety and compliance with BC Health guidelines as they evolve. From November 20, 2020 through December 7, 2020, all in-person
activities are suspended per the BC Public Health Order, but some of our activities will continue
using Zoom meetings during this period. As a member, you can check the calendar to see what is happening, read what precautions and protocols are in place and, if interested, join in! Choose from a hike, a walk, a book club, a historical tour or many of our outdoor social gatherings that you can participate in as and when Provincial Health guidelines allow.
In addition to our more than 20 regular activities, NCGV membership also offers:
- Access to our membership roster, offering opportunities for our 150+ members to maintain contact with each other or strike up new friendships.
- Our regular Buddy Up email newsletter where members can suggest COVID-appropriate opportunities to forge new connections: e.g., a virtual luncheon or neighbourhood coffee group, a physically distanced beach walk, virtual Scrabble.
- You can check our Blog Page on the website for snippets and pictures of past events.

Monthly meetings with lively speakers run from September to June. We have daytime and evening events, some of which welcome members' partners. While the
club takes a break during the summer, some events and activity
groups continue throughout the year. | Activities and EventsThere are so many exciting things to do with your Newcomers’ Club of Greater Victoria friends!

whether you would like to participate in something every month or just
occasionally! |
