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.

Drupal Social #11... What rhymes with eleven?
Well, the weekday is moving again, now to Tuesday, and while I'm at it, let move locations too!
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.
Be there at 7PM, Tuesday the 31st!
Also, we won't be conflicting with the Web Posse group meeting on Wednesdays.
Cheers!
Gord.
