Question for you all

[deathpixie]

So, this is a situation that I've been pondering on for a while. I've talked to a few people about it, and I have some rough plans for the new year (since there's way too much going on atm for me to even think about it!), but I'd like to see what you guys on LJ think. So, here's the question:

How do you meet new people socially?

A little bit of background - I moved to Canada four years ago. I've realised recently that my social network is very small and entirely based on my roommate, due to me not doing anything about it, and now I'm getting my mojo back, I'd like to change that. So, O wise and knowledgeable people of the Internet, what suggestions do you have for me? In terms of "getting out there and meeting people", where do I go?

I found a good way of going about it can sometimes be seeking out 'doing things'. So, book club type thing, or board games or something else you enjoy that you can do with other people and chat to them at the same time.

People tend to relax when they've got something that is a focal point, and don't feel as much of a need to keep people entertained, so it can be a lot less awkward then meetups that are purely designed around chatty type things.
