Where to meet singles
Not every first meeting starts online. These are real places and groups where people get talking.
Join a curling lesson or league
Curling is one of the easiest ways to meet people in Manitoba over the winter, and CurlManitoba runs group lessons, including mixed doubles. Clubs across the province run leagues, and the City of Winnipeg lists learn-to-curl programs in its Leisure Guide.

Go birding at Oak Hammock Marsh
Oak Hammock Marsh draws birders and walkers, especially during fall migration when the interpretive centre stays open later. It is an easy, sociable place to strike up a conversation on the trails.

Turn up at the summer festivals
Festivals like Íslendingadagurinn in Gimli bring people from across the province for a parade, music and the Viking Village. Going with friends and joining in is a natural way to meet new people.
