Why happs exists

I'm Leo, and I live in Vaughan. A few months ago I tried to find what was actually happening near me that weekend, and I couldn't. Eventbrite showed me four things in Liberty Village. The library calendar was a PDF. My favourite bakery's events were buried six posts deep on Instagram. The small theatre down the street had a Facebook page nobody updates.

So much of what we actually do happens within a few kilometres of home. The free workshop at the library, the comedy show at the bar, the festival in the park. The stuff that makes a neighbourhood feel like a neighbourhood. But the internet keeps pushing us toward national feeds and global brands, and we miss what is happening right outside the front door.

So I built one place that pulls it together. happs gathers thousands of real events from hundreds of venues across the GTA, refreshed every day, each one credited to the venue that published it.

What's happs in your neighbourhood?
