I find there's such an abundance of things to take part in that I often have more than one option in my calendar on any given day. Now I suspect I may be older than the average person on this forum, so perhaps that has something to do with it. I also moved here from a small town where I did indeed feel like there was a severe lack of things to do. I also talk to a lot of people about different things I attend and they often reply that they would have also attended had they only known about it. Perhaps some of the problem is getting the word out about all of the things happening in the area?
No, I don't attend concerts here - the kind of music I like is very very niche. I went to a theatre production once. I grew up a 10 minute bike ride from the Grand River. Yes, I've been to the festivals, but they're the same thing year after year. Yes, in the past I've been involved in the design of major buildings here (John M. Harper Library, Stephen Hawking Centre at the Perimeter Institute) that serve the community. No.
I know Waterloo Region is smaller and comparing it to Toronto is not fair, but nonetheless, there is just a lack of interesting things to do here for a lot of people. Of course this will change with time, as the city evolves.
