These Toronto social clubs just might help you meet your new bestie

Toronto is the ideal place to be young — it's a sprawling city with loads to do, but even in all its vastness, it can still be hard to make new friends. 

Whether you're looking for a different friend group or a new BFF, these clubs have everything you need to get out of your comfort zone and jumpstart your social life. 

You never know, you might meet like-minded people or discover a new fun activity you hadn't considered before. 

The BFF Club

This social club allows people in Toronto to engage in low-stakes fun while fostering lasting connections. If you thrive in a hands-on environment, this could be the one for you, as the club hosts events like paint nights, sunset picnics and scrapbooking sessions.

Between Space

Another group that might appeal to the creative crowd, Between Space is where you want to be if you are trying to stock your friend group with fellow imaginative types. 

Between Space is the perfect group to "gather and create," according to the club. They invite members to work on creative endeavours in an open studio every Wednesday, as well as hosting an evening event called 'Moonlight Parlour' that you'll want to learn all about.

Curious Company 

Calling all avid readers: this is the place to find your brand-new book buddies. If you're looking for an elevated book club, you might want to give this a try. The club meets once a month at a different venue to read anything they'd like. You can bring a book, poem, textbook or even a newspaper article.

OtterSpace Social Club

Meeting once a month, this club hosts events centred around food, drinks and games. Every event reflects the vibes of the season, too. Past highlights include a Thanksgiving murder mystery event and a festive White Elephant gift exchange during the holidays.

Join this club if you want to try bonding with strangers and have some fun along the way. 

Invisible Strangers

If you're hesitant about putting yourself out there, this could be the club to ease you into a new friendship or two.

Invisible Strangers describes itself as an "introvert-friendly social club," so even if you're feeling shy, other attendees will totally get it.

The club's activities are designed to alleviate the pressure of meeting new people, offering experiences tailored for introverts. They've hosted low-key events, such as an oyster-shucking night, a relaxing beach day and a park clean-up.
