As the places and habits that once brought strangers together are priced out, disappear, or move online, Third Space Gatherings sets out to connect people across ages and backgrounds. Since 2025, this volunteer-run organization has brought people together for monthly evenings featuring local speakers and community-builders, conversation, and always coffee and dessert. It aims to be a space for friendly connections, and one without networking or scrolling. Its gatherings have expanded to include summer nature walks, fall harvest dinners, and neighbourhood walking tours of other third spaces.
