Welcome to VANDUG!
The Vancouver Drupal Users Group (VanDUG) is the local meeting place for Greater Vancouver people interested in Drupal. We were formerly known as the Vancouver League of Drupalers, but that's a long story.
The group mostly hangs out on Slack at https://vandug.slack.com/. We also post our meetings on Meetup.com at https://www.meetup.com/Vancouver-Drupal-Users-Group. All are welcome, it's listed as a private group to keep out the griefers.
We've been holding semi-regular virtual meetings during COVID-19.

job: replace existing site with drupal
I'm looking to replace an existing video blogging site with a CMS. The replacement should be pretty straightforward -- detailed specs and nothing too unusual. The interesting part will be opening the site to contributions from people of varying interest and technical skill. I think Drupal should be up to the task.
Please contact me for more info. Applicants should be in Vancouver.
