You can head to our private chat to check out activity in your region or an interest group, or to contact a person whose profile looks interesting. 

It's restricted to subscribers and volunteers who are logged in on SWLT.ca, so it's reasonably safe, but remember that until you meet people we're all strangers on the internet, so you shouldn't share personal contact information until you're comfortable.

Note - The formatting on the phone bit at the end was stretched out to fill the video size. It looks much better in real life on a small screen.

Topic too long to read?

If there's a topic that has many replies and you want to get an overview, rather than reading the whole thing you can see an AI Summary. 
 

Use the Summarize button to get an AI synopsis of a conversation

The summary generated will be saved with the conversation so it can be viewed by others.
