Expats Can Use This Event Mapping App To Find Meetups, Festivals In Toronto

If you’re new to Toronto or moving here soon, you’re going to want to see more than the tourist sights and you’re definitely going to want to meet and make connections with locals who actually know the city. Now, thanks to OOt Social, you can do all that and more.

The new app is designed to make the city of Toronto truly come alive for expats like yourself, and for other newcomers like international students and tourists. Interactively overlaying the bustling streets of Canada’s most populated city, the app gives you live information about local venues, upcoming events, and even offers you exclusive deals.

The upcoming launch of the app coincides with a recent exposé from Expat.com. Ahead of other concerns like bureaucracy and administration, job seeking and even cultural differences, their writers discovered that building a social life was ultimately most expats' biggest challenge and focus when settling in a new city.

The developers behind OOt Social know that especially in such a large city as Toronto, it can be particularly hard to find your way, and that a city street is just a city street and not an open and welcoming place to meet new friends unless you have the inside scoop on exactly what is happening and where.

With the Beta phase of the app due to go live in August, OOt Social is proud to be that inside scoop whether you are moving to Toronto over the summer, or have recently arrived.

The app is focused around key neighborhoods in the city like Liberty Village. This iconic campus-meets-condo district is home to both many of the city’s college students and also forms its major creative corridor. Described by Destination Toronto as being “heady with Gen Z and millennial energy”, it has a youthful vibe that draws in many expats, maybe including yourself.

With this in mind, OOt Social’s developers have canvassed the neighborhood to discover its coolest bars, nightclubs, lounges and patios. Through the app’s social map overlay, whether you are living in or just visiting the area, you will know about all the latest events in Liberty Village, including pub crawls, meetups, concerts and festivals.

Using the app, you will also have access to its thriving community hubs. With over 80 different active social groups for film lovers, dancers, vegans, night owls and more, and information about where and when they get together, you will now be able to make like-minded friends fast.

OOt Social is a new social map app unlike anything else. For expats and newcomers, it puts the city and its people at your fingertips.

A spokesperson for the live social map app said, “Get OOt and see Toronto your way.”

Whether you want to discover incredible new communities, experiences, places or deals, OOt Social is the best way for expats like yourself to become a true Torontonian.
