We Want You!

We are looking to expand this project. We would like to recruit existing partiers that are interested in sharing their knowledge with others, specifically those newer to the scene. We would like to develop a collective of trained volunteers to go into clubs and parties to do outreach. If you would like to learn more, or are curious to see how you could get involved, please contact us by emailing comments@torontovibe.com or calling 416.340.8484 ext. 235.
