Spinnakers Expands Let's Talk Program – and

Let's Talk Health Society Pushes for More Public Conversation Spaces

Lower crime, boost health, fight loneliness—one conversation at a time.

Victoria, BC – August 22 – After a lively and successful summer run in July and August, Spinnakers is making its Let's Talk program a permanent feature. The original pilot, held on Tuesdays from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. throughout the summer, gave guests a simple and welcoming way to share a table and conversation with someone they had never met before.

Now, anyone can take part by picking up a Let's Talk card at the hostess desk. The hostess will seat you with the next person who has also opted in, ensuring your conversation partner is inviting and ready to connect.

"Times have changed and you can't just walk up to someone and say, 'Hey, do you want to be my friend?'" said Spinnakers owner, Paul Hadfield. "But this structure makes it natural and easy—because you know the other person is also there to welcome you. This is a great way for people to come and enjoy the pub and potentially meet a few new friends. After all, that is the essence of what a pub is all about."
