Western Canada!
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* |
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. |
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. :) |
*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. |
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! |

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

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* ;) |

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. |

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!!!!! |
O hai thar, Saskatoon here!
|
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 |

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. |
Western Canada

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

We are just so damn polite! ;) |
The tea!!
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. Candice:byebye: |
Quote:
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. |

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'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? |
I was just thinking that.. it would be worth the drive to attend.. :)
Central Alberta here.. |
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. |
I'm a Vancouverite too! Also would love to meet up with other butches and femmes to hang out.
|
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. |
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 :)

Quote:

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 |
I would have to be the lone Manitoba girl here right? LOL geez :p
|
You did a good job!!
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!
