I'm looking for a coffee shop (or even a café) to host a meetup to have a bunch of Golang engineers congregate to chat about the Go programming language.
Anyone know of any?
Preference: Metrotown and Downtown New Westminster.
But anywhere Downtown Vancouver, Metrotown, Brentwood, Downtown New Westminster, and Surrey Central is fine.

Federal plan would turn empty ...
Director of policy planning in Metro Vancouver's water department outlined 3 reasons for current Stage 3 restrictions:
1) much lower than usual snowpack
2) hot, dry Summer forecast for 2026
3) a 100-year-old water main that is out of service for replacement -- puts more stress on the rest of the system as water demand increases in the summer

Metro Vancouver's chief administrative officer and commissioner of the water district, highlighted a data point in mid-June 2026:
"Our two biggest cities use about half the water [in the region]. Vancouver's using less, and Surrey's using more — and that's a concern."

Water💦 for drinking, fighting fires is more important during a drought & wildfire season than manicured lawns.
Surrey, BC flouted water restrictions, remaining at Stage 2.
All other cities followed Metro Vancouver regional water restrictions at/to Stage 3. Stage 4 is activated during emergencies.
"We don't want to get to the point where we're in a state of emergency, and we can't fight a fire." -- Port Moody mayor

I just received a water restriction notice for the #MetroVancouver area.
I am now prohibited from even filling a bird bath yet Mark Carney is currently pushing for water guzzling AI Data Centers in Vancouver.
With climate warming, our community also deals with brownouts every summer. Where are Carney and #Telus going to get the power and water to run these unnecessary, resource heavy monstrosities?
Metro Vancouver moving to Stage 3 water restrictions, but they might not last
