Vancouver Island represent! :)

I am also in Victoria BC (moved here in the summer of 2012 with my three young children and it's been great).

Anyone else in the area? Any interest in a small meet-up?

Well, I'm ostensibly in Victoria, but most of June is being spent in SF. If the meetup is somewhere between June 11-18 or in July I'm there, though!

(BTW. I help run makerspace.ca and we're moving to the tech park this summer. Lots of cool things to play with if anyone is interested in 3D printing and CNC tools and the like... also biospace.ca for biotech stuff.)

I moved my family to Vancouver Island from Calgary in 2011. We ended up at Shawnigan Lake which is truly beautiful and a great community to raise young kids. I've been hosting the ios hacker group in Victoria as a way to meet like minded tech people. I'd love to connect with anyone interested...I'd be thrilled to discover someone else in the area too!

I'm helping a friend move to Victoria in four weeks. Great guy; family man. I know he'd love to connect with people.

Another Victoria dev here. I might be down for a meet-up, or at least pass the idea along to coworkers.

Hi there, I live in Comox. Found Victoria too pricey. Working 100% remotely, and have young kids.

I'm a ferry ride away on Galiano; could possibly make some meetup. avi@stripe.com.

Glad you liked my post! V.I. represent! Yes definitely hit me up, would love to meet-up in Victoria. You can grab my e-mail from my blog.

Also in Victoria (Fairfield) with three young ones, I'd love to meet techie families in town.
