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.

25% Off Offer for Open Web Vancouver 2009
We Drupaler's of the Pacific Northwest have been given a special offer for Open Web Vancouver 2009 on June 11/12. The first 10 people using the discount code: DRUPALISTA at registration get 25% off on their ticket.
This is going to a great conference. Not only are Drupal notables like Angie Byron, Karoly Negyesi, and James Walker presenting, there's many presentations relevant to what's happening in the Drupal community. There's presentations on mobile technology, mashups and cloud computing, and Vancouver Drupal's favorite son, Boris Mann, is speaking on semantic web. I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention presentations by locals Rick Vugteveen and Djun Kim.

Garrick's Head Pub
It's in the Bedford Regency, right in Bastion square. They have several of the micro-brewery offerings on tap, Pipers Pale Ale is good, but when that is as close as it gets to "Micro" one yearns for more.
