New Club Aims to Bring Orange County, CA Canucks Together
Irvine, CA (PRWEB) December 3, 2007 -- Canadian expatriates can turn to a new social club for help with disorientation brought on by Orange County's persistently warm weather, sunshine, and lack of maple trees.
The club, called Canadians in Orange County, is organizing monthly after-work social events in various county venues for Canucks living and working in Southern California. The first event takes place Friday, December 14, at Dave and Busters at The Block in Orange at 7 pm. Friends, spouses, and other fans of the Great White North are also welcome. Weekly business networking lunches are also planned beginning in January, with weekend family events to follow in the spring.
"We Canadians are a peculiar breed," says Scott Elliott, a British Columbia native and the club's founder. "We may look and sound like other California residents, but occasionally we need to come together to share those things only other Canadians understand - hockey, frost in September, the merits and drawbacks of public health care, back bacon, and the proper way to say words like 'out' and 'about.'"
Elliott estimates over a million Canadians live in Southern California, either as permanent U.S. residents, employees of Canadian companies, or employees with work visas. Orange County's technology sector makes it particularly attractive to Canadians, he adds.
The club's web site, www.canadiansinoc.com, lists upcoming events and will feature a monthly newsletter, discussion groups, and photos from past events. Elliott hopes the club will boast 1,000 members by the end of 2008.
