Western Canada!

[genghisfawn]

Are you from BC? Alberta? Saskatchewan? (Please say you're from Saskatchewan!)

If you're from Manitoba, are you for real? (Kidding!) ;)

I'm Fawn, I'm from Saskatoon, I'm femme and I'm still digging hard for the right (non-straight) butch.

*waves*

[ruby_woo]

Hi! I've lived in Vancouver for the past 7 years or so. There are a few of us around the forum here, but not many.

I'm femme, and not looking for anything more than someone hot to get out of the house with, lol.

There doesn't seem to be much of a b-f community here in Vancouver, which is kind of a bummer, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

[genghisfawn]

Hi Ruby,

There's more of a butch-butch culture in Saskatoon, I'm afraid, so even though it's easy to get a job and a place to live here, it's impossible to get a date!

Good to hear from you. :)

[foxyshaman]

*waves* Albertan here. There is an okay crowd here. Lots of youngsters. I volunteer with the local lesbian organization, so I get to meet lots of us.

I am single and have no plans to find a partner right now.

I enjoy this forum, even if Canada appears to be somewhat under-represented!!

See you round the board.

[chai~]

Originally from Saskatchewan, the rival city of S-toon!

I'm in BC now too, and I can't really find a community either.

I suppose I should wander down to Commercial Drive and see what's happening.

I only see young people too, I think us "older and more worldly" folks hang out at home with our cats!

I just posted on a thread the other day how I miss a "mad thunderstorm", only to be found in the prairies!!!!

Welcome!

That made me laugh...its either cats or dogs. I often ponder the phenomena of "dykes and their dogs" :) When I go to the lesbian dances here, the older ones are usually coupled, and the younger ones are looking for coupling... I am just looking to dance.

I lived in Vancouver for a good number of years, right in the West End. Loved it. But I did not want to raise my kids in Van. I had no support and my marriage was ending. But... that is not the point of my story... the point was the two things I missed the most were Thunderstorms and the sound of snow crunching under my feet.

I went to a witches camp just outside of Whistler this summer and was able to fill my heart with the love of the west coast forests. I may have moved back to Alberta, but my heart will never leave the WC Forests.

[Tye]

Im in Alberta!! Its a great province,lived here now for awhile.Dont care much for the cold snaps we get in winter but other then that I like it.

[Stitch]

I am also a Vancouver boi.
I live on Commerical Dr. and everything.

I lived in Regina for about 100 years, my sister currently lives there, and my dad lives in Regina Beach. I went home for a visit a few years ago, and I was just dazzled with how little traffic there was and how slow everything moves!!! I guess I had been in Vancouver for a few years and really noticed the difference!
It was fall, the wheat fields were tall and golden, the sunsets were gorgeous and the weather was hot and dry.
Perfect for a thunderstorm!!!!

I DO NOT miss the winters though!!!! I have done my share of -40, plugged in vehicle, remote car starter, and freezing breath caught in my lungs!

What was the witches camp called? Sounds interesting!
I've found on one of the islands, there is a "silent retreat", and I would love to go someday. I know you can't take a book with you to read, but I think a journal is allowed to record thoughts and ideas, but it is a retreat with meditation, etc, but NO TALKING!!!! I love that!!!! Just to "be" and listen to one's self guilt free for 3 or 4 days! Pure bliss!

Oh how I miss the prairies!!! *never thought I would ever feel that way* ;)

It is simply called the BC Witches camp. I had heard such good things about it from friends of mine who had gone. I thought it was great. It is in line with the Reclaiming Tradition and is led by some long time wonderful witches. Very different from the way I practice and teach. I enjoy stretching my mind to embrace other beliefs, traditions and ways of doing things. It is in Alice Lake country. The forest is protected and quite well preserved. Lots of animals and birds. And the trees... sigh of beauty.

I have done silent retreats, they are very intense. You wouldn't think that, but we are such a 'dialed in' society we have a very hard time NOT occupying our minds with something, anything, outside of ourselves. Silence is one of the most difficult things for us to do. Internal silence...yikes!!!

This summer I am rough camping in the Queen Charolettes, solely for the silent retreat aspect.

Where did you do the silent retreats?
I have absolutely no problem going for days without talking, but without music, family members making demands, and just "life" being a distraction, I would welcome the inner journey.

I can only imagine the intensity, and would welcome it! I'm not as dialed in as most, I don't even have a cell phone!

I am reading a book on women's spirituality, and how it used to be a "woman's world". There is a lot written about witches also.

Roughing it in the Queen Charlottes sounds divine!!!!!

[Britt]

O hai thar, Saskatoon here!

[Sparx1_1]

My wife and I live right near commercial drive. Not much on the way of butch femme anything here. The younger ones think buch is a dirty word and the older ones like me just stay home lol.
The witches retreat sounds amazing

Believe it or not a small Alberta town Villenueve. There is a very active Buddist community in Edmonton, as I am sure there are many everywhere, that hold it. I have done it twice. I have not done one in probably 10 years. But well worth going and doing.

What is the book you are reading? I read quite a bit, primarily non-fiction. The remains of former societies do point to matriarchal structures.

I am really looking forward to my camping trip this summer.

[StrongButch]

I am in Seattle you ladies can come visit us Im rather fond of canadian women myself

The book I am reading is just one of those silly ones,_____ for dummies, so, It's Women Spirituality for dummies.

It has a log of info, and is an easy and quick read.

I am going to look into doing a retreat this year, I have never done one before!

[chai~]

Winnipeg haa a small but active butch femme community

Hello to you, and yay for Canada and being "allowed" to marry!

[chai~]

I am in Seattle you ladies can come visit us Im rather fond of canadian women myself

"Fond of Canadian women?"!!!
We are just so damn polite! ;)

[fever]

I am going to the Women of Wisdom Conference on the 17-19. When I get back from Seattle on the 20th, why don't we set up that femme tea? I had wanted to known when scubadyke was available, since Hy wanted to come up and do a "panty raid" or something like that. lol

I am available the last Sat Feb. 25 weekend. How about the rest of you?

And, where shall we have this tea? Commercial Drive works for me, and there is more parking than downtown Vancouver.

That looks like a great conference. I have read works by almost all of those women. I have heard about it before, and then it promptly fell outta my brain, cause it happens like that sometimes.

Have a great time Candice. I would be most interested in hearing about some of the highlights. Sorry I can't make it for tea.

I hope you do a silent retreat. I often have patients who complain of not being able to shut off their brains. Or not being able to relax. A monk I studied with once told me..."how do people know they will not like chanting for an hour if they have never tried it"... I try to apply that to all things to quiet my mind. I believed i was one of those who could never quiet my mind, what I didn't know, was that I wasn't really trying.

When I first started yoga, I had a helluva time staying in my body. I was ssssoooo used to being outside my body, I had no idea what it meant to be in my body. Disassociation was a way of life for me. And when I first heard... when your muscle is tight breathe into it. I was all like....wwwhhhaaaatttt... now I am all like...ooohh that hurts...oh wait (deep breath).

I won't at all criticize you for reading Dummies books. I have yet to find one that does not have some interesting tidbits of information and tips. Read on girl.... read on.

I have a work thingie on the 25th from 1:30-3:30, but am available after that, or the Sunday. Don't know about everyone else...

I'm sorry I don't really know the Commercial Drive area well, but if we wanted to do an official fancy afternoon tea there's Shaktea on Main.

Did this happen and I missed it?

[Breathless]

I was just thinking that.. it would be worth the drive to attend.. :)

Central Alberta here..

[ruby_woo]

If it happened I missed it, too.

I'd organize something but know nothing about tea- if it's up to me we're all going to be throwing back pitchers of beer at the Fountainhead haha.

[Silverseastar]

I'm a Vancouverite too! Also would love to meet up with other butches and femmes to hang out.

[laruss]

Currently in Alberta, but moving to BC in a few months.
I will have to get to know a whole new community there. It's scary moving all by yourself.

[canadianmusician]

Not butch, am FTM, but am very much in Vancouver and always looking for a good game of Scrabble, Cribbage, Spite n Malice, Monopoly...anything really :)

It is for sure! I did it. The good thing about Vancouver is the community here is so wide and diverse (I know some butches, though there are more transguys it seems). It's Vancouver....anything goes lol

Do you know what area you're looking in? The Lower Mainland is MASSIVE.

[Silverseastar]

Hi Ryan seems we have some people in common! I love playing games of all sorts :)

I can't believe we haven't met yet.

[Curley]

Hey everyone I just saw this thread Vancouver west end here

LOL I was thinking "How does she know my name?" and then realized.....my signature line! Still workin' on my morning coffee. :jester:

If you'd like, shoot me a message and we can talk about setting up a game time :)

[tiggs]

Wow I never knew there were so many butches, femmes and trans here in the lower mainland!

Hey Candace my sweet girl ;o) Can't wait to see you this weekend! Gonna have to pull out the martini book, I'm just saying we have a spare room lol

[Leigh]

I would have to be the lone Manitoba girl here right? LOL geez :p

[fever]

Just found this post. Oh, sweet woman, you did an excellent job with those martinis!! I had such a fun night with you, Converse, and the rest. The food was scrumptious, the martinis were OH MY material, and hubby was charming as ever. Thanks so much for inviting me. I love you Tiggs. You are the best!Wow I never knew there were so many butches, femmes and trans here in the lower mainland!

I have decided on Kelowna as the energy here seems to fit with my new life. I have left the corporate world to pursue my art and writing. I am in Kelowna this week scouting out the area and will be officially moved by the end of July.

[Leigh]

One day I wanna visit Vancouver :)

[Simply_me]

I'm in Saskatchewan and my future wife is in Manitoba.
Hello from the both of us. :)

Very cool, where is she located in MB?

Yes it is a difficult pursuit, indeed. My arts are music, writing and photography. Thankfully, I found a job in a field I absolutely love (addictions/mental health) so it makes it easier. But if I had to work in a corporate setting...oy.

Have FUN in Kelowna!! I have friends there and they love it. Good luck on your search!

Yay I see you tk lol :-)

[Stitch]

Hello Fellow Canadians!!!!

How is everyone doing?

[imperfect_cupcake]

Hey!!!

Guess What. I'm moving home! After 9 years in the UK, having never been able to visit home ONCE... I'm moving home to go back to school come November First! (2012)

I know there isn't a specified "butch-femme" scene in vancouver, but that's fine. I've been hangin in a general lezzo scene that just accepts butches and femmes as long as you aren't "blah blah butch, Blah blah femme, blah blah butch, blah blah femme" and putting everyone into a coma. fine with me, that' puts me into a coma as well.

And since POF and OK CUPID, I've noticed that there's a half decent number of those that would be completely dateable. Plus lots of people who want to hang out and they could care less how I ID. Which suits me fine. As long and hey like to talk about common daily interests like hiking, school, frogs, crime thrillers, david suzuki, and alternative arts... happy with that.

I'm actually really happy to be heading home!!! Looking forward to a lot of things and salmon on a BBQ is one of them. Even though I'm home in Nov!!!

The reverse culture shock is going to be interesting after 9 years!

Hi Honey! I'm Home!

[laruss]

I am now in the Kelowna - Penticton area. Anyone near by? I love road trips, would be willing to meet for coffee or lunch. I like making new friends. Not looking for dating.

[Breathless]

I am in central Alberta, Red Deer to be specific.. :)

I just left Edmonton. I lived there most of my life.

It sure is a small world huh?! Don't be spreading rumors about my past life in Red Deer.....unless of course it's good stuff :giggle:

[chakra]

Not sure if I qualify for Western Canada. I live in Manitoba, North of Lake Winnipeg. I have always felt that Ontario east was essentially eastern Canada. But Manitoba seems to be left all by its little ol' lonesome.

Anyway...

Hi all!!!

[Leigh]

Greetings chakra ~ I live down here in Winnipeg, its nice to see another Manitoban here :)

[Tye]

Hi all, I'm from central Alberta myself,halfway between Calgary and Edmonton.

[sis]

Well, actually, I'm from Manitoba, Winnipeg for a lot of my adult life, but actually am an owner of a seasonal cottage in Winnipeg Beach. Still have a lot of connections in Winnipeg but don't have a place there to live in. Even though I've been country hopping since the late 1990's, I still call Winnipeg my home. I would love to get together at some point although that could be a couple of years for me! lolol My most recent contract is for two years and I don't get a lot of holidays. Anyhow, have a great day!

[fever]

Okay, everyone, this has been a rough year health wise, but walker or no walker, I am determined to have a femme tea:tea:,or a femme/butch get together:cigar2:. I had another wonderful coffee visit with Tiggs and Converse tonight, and there is no reason we can't organize something wonderful.

So, please stay in touch, let me know if you can visit the Abbotsford area, and at least we can have a little butch/femme get together, if not a tea as well.

Would still love to meet you Scuba, bootsandheels, homoe, and other folks fairly close to the Fraser Valley area.

I definitely could in the New Year. I am back home in Summerland on the 8th. I need to head to Chilliwak sometime in January to visit my stepdaughter so I would love to get together with some others from the site.

Sherwood Park, Alberta here. :-) Yes really! Stop laughing.

[sis]

Just doing a check in .... wondering if there are people near Winnipeg that would be interested in meeting up sometime during July? I know, I know, that seems a long way in the future but I'm a bit of a planner! lolol Just looking to get together with some like-minded folks, share a meal, a story, a movie, whatever! I personally drink copious amount of :tea: and wouldn't mind meeting up at Baked Expectations for something that contained :chocolate: but also love to eat tiny bites of :sushi: .

Any takers?

Deb

[canadianmusician]

Oh my! Baked Expectations is STILL there? Wow....I remember that place! I left Winnipeg in 2002 :)

Am on The Wet Coast now ;)

[sis]

..... good question regarding Baked Expectation! I probably was last there in 2002! lolol I've done a bit of traveling since then but always manage to end up back in Winnipeg although I generally hang my hat at Winnipeg Beach!:vigil:

[stormprincess]

[imperfect_cupcake]

I wish I could! But school limits me to my local little park and my balcony when not in school, in clinic or at outreach. There aren't even windows in the classroom, the clinic or the outreach spaces. Ugh.

I hope the rains come soon, for everyone.

[knight]

Curious to know if anyone is enjoying VIFF?

First snow of the season... it has been snowing all day and it looks like winter wonder land.. absolutely gorgeous... another reason why I love living in picturesque BC.

Please knight..
I think I may becoming jealous... I almost can't read what you're writing about where you live..
because it's difficult to read because... I love nature and beautiful scenery...
I'm asking you to try to not write in a way that makes me feel a bit jealous.. oh please stop!

About a week ago, it snowed a half inch where I live and I almost fainted.. it's been so long since I'd seen snow.

Deborah

[Ender]

The first winter/Christmas where it's actually been...WARM. It's weird. For the past little while we were in the positive temperatures!

[knight]

I hope that everyone around is staying warm and safe... 4 feet of snow here with -20.
I wish everyone a warm, healthy and happy New Year... cheers to all
