Let’s do something in West River, Prince Edward Island - West River

River road, windows down, no playlist fight
Wednesday, July 15
Drive the river road with the windows down and no one touching the radio more than once. I want to see the water from a person who knows which bend is worth slowing for. I have a car. I do not have a plan after an hour. If that is too vague, it is also the whole offer.

Missed connection in Souris, Prince Edward Island - Souris beach

Beach road, you talked me out of the rocks
Monday, July 13 - 11:50 AM
On the way out to the beach you told me the rocks I was about to climb were “how people become a story on the radio.” I stayed on the path. You were carrying a rod you were not going to use, you said, and then you explained the tide anyway. I drove back glad and annoyed that glad was all I managed.

Missed connection in Burlington, Ontario - Village Square

Village Square farmers’ market
Friday, July 10 - 2:12 PM
Saturday at the market by Village Square, we both hovered over the same honey vendor and you talked me into the wildflower jar. Best purchase of the week. Worst follow-through on getting your name.

Looking for… in Montreal, Quebec - Berri-UQAM

Looking for a photography walk partner
Saturday, July 11 - 5:57 PM
Looking for someone in Montreal to wander Berri-UQAM with a camera (phone is fine). Golden hour, no portfolio pressure. Swap a few shots after.

Missed connection in Vaughan, Ontario - Promenade

Promenade Mall bookstore
Thursday, July 9 - 7:52 AM
Promenade bookstore, you built a “books that ruin sleep schedules” stack and admitted half were re-reads. Relatable. Checkout split the plot.

Let’s do something in Pictou, Nova Scotia - Ship Hector

Hector, then lobster only if you insist
Tuesday, July 14
See the Hector, walk the waterfront, and do not let me turn it into a seafood contest unless you actually want that. I get performative about chowder. I would like a person who will shut that down. Afternoon. I leave town Friday.

Lost & found in London, Ontario - Richmond Row

Lost prescription bottle at Richmond Row
Saturday, July 11 - 9:48 AM
Pharmacy bottle (label partly worn) left at Richmond Row in London. Privacy first - tell me the pharmacy name on the label, not the medication.

Missed connection in Hamilton, Ontario - Jackson Square

Jackson Square food court
Friday, July 10 - 6:06 PM
Rainy lunch in Jackson Square, you rescued my umbrella from walking away on its own. We laughed about downtown wind tunnels. You had a Hamilton Public Library tote. I had bad timing.

Missed connection in Hamilton, Ontario - Locke Street

Locke Street bookstore ladder
Sunday, July 12 - 8:59 AM
On Locke Street in a bookstore, you held the ladder while I reached a high shelf and joked about occupational health and safety. Safe retrieval. Unsafe levels of charm.

Missed connection in Milton, Ontario - Near Milton escarpment

Escarpment views from Dufferin
Saturday, July 11 - 10:54 PM
Pull-off near the escarpment views off Dufferin, you were changing a flat and I stopped to help hold the flashlight awkwardly. We got it done. You thanked me twice. I still think about the third thank-you I wanted to earn.

Missed connection in Georgetown, Ontario - Cedarvale Park

Cedarvale Park splash pad
Wednesday, July 8 - 7:05 AM
At Cedarvale’s splash pad area supervising from a respectful adult distance, you shared sunscreen and small talk about how loud joy is. Good noise. Better smile. You left when the kids’ group did.

Looking for… in Deer Lake, Newfoundland and Labrador - Deer Lake airport

Airport wait, I do this too often
Monday, July 13
I sit at the Deer Lake airport between flights more than a person should. If you are ever in that same plastic chair with time to kill and you want to talk about anything except how small the plane looks, I am the one with the paperback I am not reading. Next Tuesday-looking stretch of weather. I will be obvious.

Lost & found in Gatineau, Quebec - Les Promenades Gatineau

Found wallet at Les Promenades Gatineau
Friday, July 10 - 12:54 PM
Picked up a wallet at Les Promenades Gatineau in Gatineau. No cash missing on my end; I just want it home. Tell me the first name inside and one other detail. Meet somewhere public.

Looking for… in Newmarket, Ontario - Upper Canada Mall

Looking for a stargazing night
Thursday, July 9 - 2:14 PM
Looking for a clear-night hang near Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket (or just outside town if you have a darker spot). Thermoses, apps that name stars, zero expertise required.

Missed connection in Montreal, Quebec - Jean-Talon Market

Jean-Talon, you judged the mango correctly
Sunday, July 12
At Jean-Talon you took the mango out of my hand, pressed it once, and put it back. Then you gave me a different one without a speech. I said merci like I buy fruit with a staff. You said “that one is for Friday” and moved on to tomatoes. Striped tote, short grey hair, no interest in being thanked properly.

Lost & found in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec - Chambly Canal path

Canal path, lock key is a bad joke
Thursday, July 9
Small padlock key on the canal path, which is a joke I did not intend. It fell off a ring when I stopped to watch a boat do a slow impressive nothing. The key opens a shed, not a diary. Blue plastic head. If you found it, I can meet by the footbridge and I will not make you hear the shed story.

Missed connection in Burlington, Ontario - Hendrie Park / RBG

Hendrie Park rose garden
Monday, July 6 - 7:27 AM
At Hendrie Park in the rose garden, you asked which path led to the Teahouse and we ended up walking it together. You had a camera and a soft laugh when a bee photobombed your shot. I peeled off toward the parking lot like an idiot.

Let’s do something in Ottawa, Ontario - Gatineau ferry dock

Picnic backup plan at Gatineau ferry dock
Monday, July 6 - 8:02 AM
Let’s picnic at Gatineau ferry dock in Ottawa if the sky behaves, café if it does not. I can bring fruit. You can bring whatever counts as a side. Message for the weather call.

Looking for… in Maple Ridge, British Columbia - Albion dyke

Albion dyke, weekday, not a club
Friday, July 10 - 2:20 PM
I walk the Albion river dyke after work and I am tired of my own podcast. If you want company two evenings a week and you do not need matching jackets, I am the slow one on purpose. Rain is not a cancellation unless the path is a creek.

Looking for… in Burnaby, British Columbia - Lougheed Town Centre

Looking for the regular at Lougheed Town Centre
Monday, July 6 - 2:25 PM
Looking for the regular at Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby who always orders the same thing and leaves a ridiculous doodle on the napkin. If that is you, or you know them, I owe a thank-you for the joke last week.

Missed connection in Burlington, Ontario - Burlington Centre

Burlington Mall bookstore browse
Wednesday, July 8 - 8:48 PM
In the bookstore at Burlington Centre, you recommended a Canadian novel without me asking, then blushed and said you do that to strangers too often. Please keep doing that. Preferably to me again.

Missed connection in Oakville, Ontario - Bronte Creek Provincial Park

Bronte Creek Provincial Park pool
Wednesday, July 8 - 2:16 PM
At Bronte Creek’s big outdoor pool, you saved my towel from blowing into the water and we ended up chatting on the grass. Kids shrieked, sun burned, time vanished. I never got your name-only SPF 50 solidarity.

Let’s do something in Markham, Ontario - Markville Mall

Picnic backup plan at Markville Mall
Wednesday, July 8 - 6:08 PM
Let’s picnic at Markville Mall in Markham if the sky behaves, café if it does not. I can bring fruit. You can bring whatever counts as a side. Message for the weather call.

Missed connection in Niagara Falls, Ontario - Niagara Parkway

Not Clifton Hill, the parkway pull-off
Thursday, July 9
Everyone was up the hill doing the noise. You were at a parkway pull-off eating a sandwich like the falls were a lunch break, which they were, for you. You offered me half without looking up and then did look up and laughed at yourself. I had already eaten. I still think about saying yes.

Missed connection in Burlington, Ontario - Tyandaga

Tyandaga golf twilight
Friday, July 3 - 1:45 PM
Twilight walking the path near Tyandaga, you were looking for a lost ball and I pretended to help. We found someone’s else’s. You had a great dry sense of humour about our “rescue mission.”

Looking for… in Swan River, Manitoba - Swan River trail

River trail before work
Wednesday, July 8
I start early at the hospital and I walk a bit of the river trail first if the path is not a rumour. If someone already does that loop and wants a person who will not talk until the second kilometre, I am that person. Weekdays. I turn around when my shift starts winning.

Missed connection in Hamilton, Ontario - Hess Village

Hess Village patio rain delay
Saturday, July 4 - 6:34 PM
Hess Village patio, rain delay under an awning, we shared fries that were definitely someone else’s order mix-up and owned it anyway. Best accidental dinner. Worst follow-up.

Missed connection in Repentigny, Quebec - St. Lawrence path

River path, you were timing the trains
Sunday, July 5 - 8:15 PM
On the river path you were timing the freight trains on your phone and you let me look at the list when I asked, like it was a normal hobby, which it became for ten minutes. Then you said you had to get a kid from practice. I believe you. I still wanted the next train.

Looking for… in Brossard, Quebec - Quartier DIX30

DIX30, I need a person who can leave
Saturday, July 4
DIX30 is where I go when I mean to buy one thing. I need someone who will say “we have the thing” and steer me out. If you are good at endings, I will buy the coffee and I will not suggest we “just look” at a second store. Weeknights. I am trainable.

Missed connection in Burlington, Ontario - Wine country day trip

Hidden Bench tasting room
Sunday, July 5 - 6:39 PM
At a Beamsville/Niagara-adjacent wine afternoon you somehow also wandered into (friends’ birthday), we kept ending up at the same tasting note card. You said the riesling tasted like “green apple and courage.” I needed the courage part.

Lost & found in Windsor, Ontario - Downtown Windsor

Lost phone at Downtown Windsor
Thursday, July 2 - 9:21 AM
Phone slipped out at Downtown Windsor in Windsor. Lock screen is a landscape photo. If you found it, tell me what is in the photo. I can come to you in Windsor.

Missed connection in Hamilton, Ontario - Harbour West

Harbour West marina evening
Wednesday, July 1 - 12:10 PM
Walking Harbour West marina docks, you pointed out a boat name that made us both snort-laugh. We inventing worse names for ten minutes. Comedy writers without credits-or phone numbers.

Missed connection in Milton, Ontario - Drumquin Park

Drumquin Park diamond
Thursday, July 2 - 2:00 PM
Evening at Drumquin Park, you were waiting out a kids’ baseball delay with snacks and offered me chips when thunder rolled. We talked about Canadian summers being allergic to plans. Rain won. Name lost.

Looking for… in Oromocto, New Brunswick - Oromocto

Base town, civilian, looking for a trivia table
Friday, July 3 - 1:50 PM
I am not posted here. I live here anyway, which is a different paperwork. Looking for a trivia night that does not assume everyone has the same job. I am useful on geography and useless on hockey before 1980. Wednesdays if that exists. If it does not, tell me what does.

Missed connection in Kitchener, Ontario - Kitchener Market

Market, you traded me the end piece
Sunday, July 5
At the Kitchener Market you took the heel of the sourdough I was reaching for and gave me the next slice because you said heels were “a personality.” Then you paid for both and would not let me fix it. I stood at the cheese counter composing a speech. You were already on King.

Missed connection in Oakville, Ontario - Old Oakville

Old Oakville bakery morning
Saturday, July 4 - 9:31 PM
Saturday lineup at a bakery in old Oakville, you insisted I take the last almond croissant because I looked hungrier. I was. Let me return the favour with coffee and a less awkward hello.

Lost & found in Stratford, Prince Edward Island - Stratford waterfront trail

Waterfront trail, bike light still blinking
Wednesday, July 1
Rear bike light, still blinking, clipped to the rail on the Stratford waterfront trail where I stopped to answer a work call I should have ignored. It is the cheap one. The strap is grey. If it is in the town hall lost box, tell them the blink is the annoying fast one.

Missed connection in Ancaster, Ontario - Wilson Street

Wilson Street evening lights
Friday, July 3 - 9:37 AM
Wilson Street as lights came on, you were window-shopping and narrating outfits to yourself. I laughed; you caught me; we both owned it. Café door closed between us.

Missed connection in Toronto, Ontario - Harbourfront

Harbourfront boardwalk evening
Tuesday, June 30 - 1:44 PM
Harbourfront boardwalk, you were drawing the skyline in a pocket notebook and tilted it so I could see. Better than my phone photos. Ferry horn covered my compliment mid-sentence.

Looking for… in Guelph, Ontario - University of Guelph

Looking for a neighbourhood history chat
Thursday, July 2 - 1:44 PM
Looking for long-time Guelph people who can explain University of Guelph to a newer resident. Coffee on me. I have questions about the building that looks like it has stories.

Let’s do something in Kensington, Prince Edward Island - Kensington

Towers and trains, half an hour, then leave
Saturday, July 4
Go look at the towers and the station with me and then leave while it is still charming. I overrun small towns. If you live with them and can say “that is enough Kensington,” I will listen. I have Saturday between other things, which is the correct amount.

Looking for… in Markham, Ontario - Markville Mall

Looking for a French-English tandem in Markham
Saturday, July 4 - 8:56 PM
Looking for a language tandem in Markham - coffee at Markville Mall, 45 minutes each language. Patient, not a classroom. Message with a neighbourhood and a time window.
