💻 Remote Professionals Meetup: Connect, Create, Collaborate

Calling all freelancers, remote workers, creatives, and tech pros! On Wednesday, April 30 from 5:30–7:30 PM, join a growing network of remote NOTL professionals at Haven Workspace (242 Mary St, Unit 8) in Niagara-on-the-Lake for an evening of conversation, community, and connection.

The night kicks off with a 20-minute Fireside Chat led by Haven co-founder and digital strategist Reggie Tan, diving into the future of remote work, AI, and how to thrive in a digital-first world. After that, it’s all about real talk, shared ideas, and meaningful networking.

✅ Who’s it for?

Remote workers, digital creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone tired of the 9–5 grind and craving deeper community ties. Sound like someone you know?

🌐 Space is limited—request your spot and join the conversation. Because remote shouldn’t mean disconnected.
