INTEREST GROUPS
Joining an interest group is a wonderful way to get to meet new people. We have a variety groups including book clubs, art classes, walking, cycling, and lunching out. Some groups meet on Zoom, but most are in person.
Once you become a club member you will have access to the list of groups and their conveners thought the Website Members Only section. You then are able to find out more about the group by contacting the convener. You can join more than one group. You can access the convenors list in "Group Contacts" on the Members Login page
We encourage the creation of new groups to accommodate interested members however all groups must have a volunteer group convener in order to get established.
Please contact the Director of Interest Groups - Anne Halloran, if you have an idea to share. We would be happy to hear from you and answer any questions you may have. Contact the Director of Interest Groups
 We ask that all members be 'Scent Free' and refrain from wearing scented products when attending NOTL Newcomers Events. People with a sensitivity to scents can experience severe reactions to these products. Please help everyone enjoy a safe experience at NOTL Newcomers by adhering to this request.
Also note that Interest Group Convenors have been instructed to follow ALL ONTARIO COVID PUBLIC HEALTH guidelines when running their groups.
