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.

Geo Restriction?
Hi all,
I'm working on a site at the moment where the client wants to allow access only to people within certain geographic limits. I know hulu.com only streams videos to the US and gives an alert to us Canadians. Specifically we want to allow access only to i.p. addresses in British Columbia, and provide a similar alert box to outsiders. Any ideas on how I can do this?
Thanks,
Ryan
