The TO.BE Story
We started TO.BE as a volunteer-run initiative to bridge the gap between the vibrant Belgian community and the social life of Toronto. Our mission is simple: to create a space where Belgians, friends of Belgium, and anyone looking for a little Belgian spirit in the city can connect, celebrate, and simply be together. We believe that community is the heartbeat of any great city, and we are dedicated to keeping that pulse strong through our events, cultural activities, and the shared laughter of our growing club.
The Team
The people making TO.BE happen
Delphine
A true echte Brusseleir at ❤️, born in Brussels and now settled in Toronto after a some backpacking adventures around the world! After 3y on the To.Be team, I’ve taken the lead as President this year and can’t wait to see what this new dream team has in store!
I love bringing people together, meeting new faces and discovering new things over a good drink. My latest obsession? Experimenting with weird and wonderful healthy recipe: chickpea desserts, cauliflower-crust pizzas… you name it!
And if you want to talk about the Keg menu, I’m your girl! Always happy to share my favourite recommendations. Hope to see you soon at our events!

Bram
Originally from the Kempen but long enough in Canada to remember the Great Winter of 2014, I am the treasurer of the TO.BE group and help prepare our annual trivia night with questions on the sometimes surprising links between our old and new homelands. As a proud honorary and only member of the Whitby Belgian Social Club, I love venturing into nature, discovering new music and trying out different beer styles. Hope to see you at one of our next events!

Joke
Born and raised in Antwerp, now happily exploring life in Toronto! Belgian beer enthusiast, foodie and firm believer that good conversations are best enjoyed over a good beer. Helping bring a little Belgian gezelligheid to Toronto, one event (and one pintje) at a time!
Tim
Originally from the old town of Leuven but now calling Toronto home, I enjoy making the most of everything Canada has to offer. You'll find me exploring the outdoors, discovering new places, or simply enjoying a good (Belgian) beer. Always happy to meet fellow Belgians, share stories and discover new things. Hope to see you at one of our next events!
Lauren
Architect by background, now designing your hospital by day and your next favourite event poster by night! I swapped the cobblestones of Brussels for the streets of Toronto and joined the TO.BE core team to bring a creative touch to our events. Outside of work, you'll probably find me petting dogs, travelling, hiking, going for long walks or runs, or reminiscing about my previous life as a ballerina. Looking forward to seeing you at one of our next events!
