My family and I (we have 3 young children 10 and yonger) who have just moved in the Newmarket area. It is very peaceful and we like it but we dont know how to meet other desis in the area from Richmond hill to Newmarket etc..
We originally are both from Pakistan and India and have also lived in the States before coming to Canada very recently and thought it would be nice to meet other families in nearby areas.
Did anyone else overcome this problem and have any advice?
thanks
Sarah

Some ideas:

Try talking to parents of kids in school
Join Immigrant Parents group
http://www.internations.org/expats/members/canada/toronto/indians
Attend Bollywood night functions etc...
Local community events, etc
Meet people in Temple on Bayview / Elgin Mills, Mosque Stoufville, Leslie, 19th

Are there any desis on the street where you live?

Definitely check out any community events and the temples - there is one at Yonge & Hwy 7.

Hi Sarah,
In the begining we all face such issues. You will find many good friends in this area. There are many Indians and Pakistanis here too.
