How it works

Three steps. No paperwork.

Registration here looks a lot like signing up for swim lessons at the neighbourhood rec centre—because that's exactly the feeling we're after.

01

Browse the board

Every class, group, workshop and consult is posted with its day and time. Read the cards, pick the ones that fit your week, and check what's coming up next.

02

Register

Tear off the tab on the card that's yours and reserve a spot. Add your name, your due date if you have one, and who's coming with you.

03

Come as you are

Come tired, come early, come with a long list of questions. The Rec Room is a plain, warm room with chairs, tea, and people who have been exactly where you are.

Inside the Rec Room

A plain warm room, and people who've been there.

No waiting-room silence, no clipboards. Chairs in a circle, mats on the floor, and time to ask the questions you'd rather not ask anywhere else.
