About The Third Place
In sociology, “the third place” refers to a place to spend time that is neither home nor work. The third place is one where you can be a regular, catch up, create, and find space to be.
Hi, we are Alana, Sydney, and Jane and we hope to be on a first name basis with you very soon. As three sisters who lived away from our hometown of Winnipeg for some time, we returned in search of community and a place where we could do the things we loved together. And so “The Third Place” was born...in our minds. After dream-filled conversations and scouring of websites, it was through happenstance that we found ourselves at 66 King Street. There were many nights spent vacuuming, painting, and planning and we are happy to be sitting in what is now our most favourite place to be, our third place.
We hope “The Third Place” can be for you what it is for us. A place to meet up with friends (both new and old), a place to create art, a place to take a deep breath, and a place to just sit on the couch and chat.
We can’t wait to meet you.
Alana, Sydney, and Jane
