CTS-NL Meetup - New Location

Alt

tl;dr: We have returned to having our meetups at the Jumping Bean on Elizabeth Avenue.

Primarily due to the early closing of the coffee shop at the Queen Elizabeth II Library during the summer hours, we have decided to return to the Jumping Bean location on Elizabeth Avenue. This location is not perfect, as it has less space than the QEII Library, and closes at 9 pm. However, after discussing with our members, the vast majority were in agreement that Jumping Bean was an overall better location.

For any students wishing to attend, Metrobus Route 2 is a direct route between the main campus and the Jumping Bean.

We look forward to meeting you in person!

CTS-NL Meetup - New Location

Alt

tl;dr: We are now having our meetups on the third floor of the Queen Elizabeth II Library.

This past December, after running our meetups out of Element Coffee Bar and Lounge for about three months, the location suddenly closed. We had hoped that the closure was temporary, but after some time it became apparent that the closure was permanent. We were again looking for a new location to hang out for a few hours every Thursday.

After some discussion on Slack, the decision was made to start meeting at the Queen Elizabeth II Library, as it has ample space, is open late, and a coffee shop on the first floor.

We look forward to meeting you in person!

CTS-NL Meetups Resume

Alt

In the middle of March 2020, and well over two years ago, the global COVID-19 pandemic finally made its way to the province, and we put our in-person weekly meetups on hold. Up to this point, we held our meetups almost every week for 6 years, initially moving between various coffee shops and bars, and eventually settling with the Jumping Bean on Elizabeth Avenue.

As we move out of the pandemic, we have finally been able to restart our weekly meetups, after the two-year hiatus. We have also moved location, to the Element Coffee Bar and Lounge on Topsail Road, near The Village Mall. The meetups will run every Thursday and start at 7pm and usually end around 10pm. Drop by anytime, hangout, and chat with the rest of the community and a laptop is highly encouraged.

While we are hopefully past the worst of the pandemic, we are not completely in the clear. As such, everyone has their own level of acceptable risk, so as we start back to in-person meetings, we ask you to respect the choices of others regarding the pandemic. Element does not have any explicit additional measures, however if you are feeling sick, please do not attend. As always, all who attend are expected to follow our Code of Conduct.

If you have any questions about the event, or the venue, please join our Slack Group or use our Contact Us form.

We look forward to finally meeting new people in person!
