Connect
Our community truly has something for everyone - whether it's connecting and making friends at the gym, your child's soccer game or something for yourself - we have it all! Through sports like pick-up hockey, pickleball, ultimate frisbee or our triathlete groups, or conversation circles at the library or other events through the Multi-Cultural Association of Pictou County, there's lots of ways for you to find your community. The trick is: putting yourself out there, which isn't always easy but your new friends and acquaintances are waiting to meet you!
