# Hello, Kits

_Friday, November 6, 2026 · Fireside Notes by Kindling Kitsilano_

What Kindling Kits is, why we're starting it, and how you can help pick (and light) the first few fires.

Kitsilano has a lot going for it: the beach, the mountains across the water, 4th and Broadway right there. Plenty of people still find it oddly hard to just *meet* their neighbours, especially if you're new here or your friends have moved across town.

**Kindling Kits is our go at changing that.** We're a few friends who live in Kits, putting on low-key, low-cost nights out close to home. Come solo or bring a friend. You don't need to know anyone. That's sort of the point.

## Where it comes from

Kindling started up the hill in Anmore, BC, as a way to get neighbours out of the house and meeting each other closer to home. Kindling Kits is the second chapter: same campfire, same idea, run by and for people in Kitsilano.

## What's next

We haven't planned our first event yet, and we'd love for you to help pick it. A few things you can do right now:

- **Suggest an event.** Got an idea, big or small? Send it through the form on the [home page](/). Walks, trivia, a long-table dinner, a beach clean-up, whatever you'd actually show up to.
- **Offer a space.** Run a café, studio, shop or bar in Kits with room for a group? Let us know.
- **Lend a hand.** Help on the night, or help get the word out.
- **Join the Telegram group** (linked on the home page) to hear about things first.

When an event is confirmed it goes on the calendar, and you can tap **I'm going** so we know how many to expect.

See you around the fire.
