ISH - Instant Social Hub

03/23/2026

Spring is coming, and we've just launched our list of meet-ups for April! 🌻🌼🌸🌺🌷

If you’ve been meaning to get out a bit more, meet some new people, or just do something different for a change, this is your sign.

If you haven't heard of ISH (Instant Social Hub), it's a group that is all about creating simple ways for people to get together and feel a little less like they’re doing life on their own.

Low pressure, come as you are, no expectations. To see the details for each event and to RSVP join the ISH - Ridge Meadows group!

🎉 Final Food Bank Fundraiser Update 🎉

We did it! Yesterday at Foamers we assembled 100 birthday cake kits in record time. Not only that, we collected extra cash, toys, and food for the Food Bank. After purchasing all the birthday cake supplies, we were able to donate an additional $256.

Huge thank you to Superstore for donating $100.

Thank you to Save On Foods for the amazing gift basket. Everyone who brought a donation at Foamers was entered to win. Congrats to Kim H on the win!

Thank you to Foamers who donated $1 per beer and $2 per pizza during the party. Their contribution added up to $110 which they will donate directly.

Thank you to every single person who donated, shared, liked the post, helped assemble, or cheered us on. We set a goal and we achieved it. We should all be proud. 💛

✨ 20 dads. 22 daughters. Countless memories. ✨

Beers & Braids was an afternoon of laughs, learning, and some seriously impressive hairstyles. Dads showed up, practiced hard, and left with new skills & proud kids.

This is what ISH is all about; bringing people together, trying something new, and having fun in unexpected ways.

🎬 Check out the highlight reel below, and stay tuned for more ISH events coming soon!

🎉 Welcome to ISH! 🎉

Your Instant Social Hub

Let’s be honest:
Making friends as an adult is weird.
So we decided to make it less weird.

Welcome to ISH, where the whole point is simple:
🧡 Meet new people
🎲 Try fun, low-stakes events
🌈 Feel like you belong (even if you’re socially rusty)

We’re starting in Ridge Meadows and popping up soon in other Metro Vancouver neighbourhoods (maybe yours 👀).

Things we’re into:
• Park hangs & games night
• Getting artsy & trying something new
• Belly laughs & meaningful moments
• Spreading joy & helping out

If this sounds like your jam, follow this page and keep an eye out.. we’ve got delightful things coming.

Welcome to the hub.
Let’s make life fun. 💫

PS: If you’ve got ideas, we’re all ears!
