The discourse community I am involved in is the fishing community, I have been fishing since the age of 5 or 6. I enjoy fishing because I like to be outside and I have a fascination with underwater life I enjoy how fishing allows me to interact with it and also the strategy that can go into locating, and triggering fish to bite . Being a bit of an introvert, I enjoy that fishing requires no communication. I often enjoy going out in the boat alone, to get away from everyday life and enjoy the outdoors in silence. One place a lot of communication occurs in the fishing community is at tackle shops. Myself and other anglers often like to discuss recent catches, or new techniques and lures. Serious anglers are often not likely to share information such as fishing locations. The common goal of those in the fishing community is to catch fish and enjoy the outdoors, while maintaining a respect for our waters. One trend that has improved a lot in recent times is the desire to preserve our fish populations, anglers are typically cautious not to keep to many fish and exercise care in proper handling of fish to be released.

If I had to choose one discourse community that I'm involved with it would have to be snowboarding. I have been snowboarding since I was 14 and there is no better feeling to me then carving through some pow!

I've been actively engaged in the restaurant community for the past few years - as a server, bartender, anything up front that engages the guest. We are very tight knit with each other and an appreciation for great service, food, and drink is definitely felt when conversations get going between those who are passionate about the industry.

I'm a part of a community of nursing students or students in the health field. We can all relate to what we say to each other about school and work. My closest friends and I all have the same interests in the health field.

One of my favourite activities is snowboarding, I've been riding since I was 11 and I take every chance I can to go out and board! The community around the sport is extremely diverse because truly anyone can hop on a board and have a great time.

I found it easier to connect with other on the base of being physically fit. i grew with a older brother that was in to fitness and as a younger sibling i looked up to him and did exactly what he would want me to do. I began to do karate and gymnastics like my brother would and it was a for us to communicate with those that are just as crazy about fitness as we were. We had our own disclosure community which consisted of individuals that just loved fitness.

When it comes to travelling, I enjoy the warm and tropical destinations. I haven't been to many different countries, but I aspire to be someone who can one day, say that they have. Travellers are definitely a discourse community because they are willing to take risks, explore brand new surroundings, and can step outside of their comfort zone. Travelling isn't for everyone, but if you're lucky enough to have the opportunity too, it can leave you with many amazing experiences.

Estheticians are magic wands for your beauty needs and wants. We do everything from epilating (Hair removal) head to toe, to cleaning your skin also head to toe. The world of esthetics is constantly growing. Being in the discourse community of esthetics means learning and educating each other constantly about the newest techniques, laws, best practices of infection control, what not to dos and training opportunities, new products etc. We can literally discuss new information everyday. The Estheticians in my discourse community, are from all over the world. We all communicate through a Facebook group. Being part of this community has been very helpful to me at times. If I have a client with a complicated skin issue that could be out f my scope of practice, I can quickly message the group and within seconds will have a response of which type of physician to recommend or a product or specific uv light treatment. Being apart of this community is very rewarding. It’s a great feeling when you can help another member in the community. Further more their client. We generally all share the same goal, which is optimal skin health for all our clients. If someone was to join the community today, they would be greatly welcomed and absolutely fascinated reading all the posts of new ideas and past experiences.

I have personally always been interested in helping people and I though the field of community and justice would be a great path to take as a discourse community. It has so far taught me that there are always going to be problems that are bigger than your own.

I'm interested in A LOT of things. I like asking questions, experimenting to find the answers then asking more questions. Everything has some element of detective work to it and the intricacies and complexities are fascinating. I like to know a little about a lot because it means I can talk to people about what interests them.

I enjoy trail riding (on horseback) more than most things. It does amazing things for both physical and mental health. I am not a classically trained rider, so I often feel like a bit of an outsider in the horse community.

About a year ago I read a book that turned me Vegan and ever since then I have been trying new recipes and converting common fast food meals into a vegan one. I get my inspiration mostly from YouTube videos, but I do enjoy trying new recipes every week.

Since I was 4 years old I have held a lacrosse stick in my hand. I have grown up playing the sport my whole life, lacrosse is more then just a sport it gives you a sense of family and community. Growing up playing lacrosse I have made lifetime friends and made connections that will last forever. Lacrosse is a sport that doesn't get a lot of recognition as it should, the sport is ancient and has been played by our natives for generations. Lacrosse is a very team oriented sport with one weak link the team could fail, which has taught me to be a great team member over the years.

Since I was five I belonged to a fishing community. My father took me to a small reservoir where I learned the basics of fishing. From that day on my love for the sport has grown to an obsession. I now fish as much as I can and enjoy teaching beginners the basics such as knots,techniques and how to target species it is through this community where I find my relaxation.

I am part of the Car Maintenance and Modification group. Ever since I was a kid I always enjoyed fixing things and once got my own car I began doing modifications to it as well as do Basic repair and maintenance on it. This is a very big group in the world because many people around the world do car modifications and basic repairs all the time.

Whether I am trying to relax or just need something to do, baking is my go to hobby. Since I was a kid, I've always enjoyed making cookies, cupcakes and other little treats. As I grew older, I found baking helped me relax on stressful days or in between exams. Since I bake so often, my friends and family have also started looking forward to holidays so I can bring them a box of my classic sugar cookies or a personalized cake for birthdays. I enjoy finding new blogs and posts about recipes and seeing other bakers accomplishments.

I’m interested in car modification for both aesthetic (show) as well as performance or track (go) purposes. The ‘car scene’ is a very complex discourse community with many subdivisions.

I have always been drawn to alternative/holistic, or what other people might call " spiritual" practices in life. Spirituality has a wide range of topics, but they all serve one collective goal; to seek out spiritual/inner growth and achieve some form of happiness or inner peace through enlightenment. While I might not always agree with a specific topic , I am most certainly intrigued by all of them.

Throughout school, I had never taken a large interest in the normal course content's. When my teacher introduced Psychology I was hooked. Only a handful of people really enjoy it and are drawn to all of it's confusing yet intruiging factors, which is why I would say that Psychology would be a discourse community.

My discourse community that I am a part of would be Nursing. As a PN student, I enjoy hearing all of the terms that are related to nursing. It is nice when you can have your own discourse community so you are able to discuss the same topics with people in your field and people who share the same "jargon" or interests as you.

I have been involved with many different alternative fashion communities for the last 7 years. I started dressing alternatively in 2010, and just fell deeper down the rabbit hole. I have experience with many different lolita fashion styles, as well I use to dress very grunge/punk for a lot of years, more recently I wear more punk/goth. The communities around these fashion styles live certain lifestyles and have similar goals and values to one another. It can be really hard connecting with people who do not listen to the same music as you, or express themselves the same way, I find myself gravitating to people who have a similar outlook on life and interests as me, and it just so happens we end up sharing a love for certain fashion styles. they're not just clothes, they are a lifestyle and a culture.

Growing up, dance consumed my life. From age 3 - 18 all I did outside of school was attend dance class. The other dancers don't just become friends, they become family. We are hard working and a dedicated group which are always there for each other. 9 years after completing, some of us have continued turning it into our career, some have "retired" but as the saying goes - Once a dancer, always a dancer.

I identify best with the fitness community through shared passions and similar goals. I believe the fitness community is made up of many different types of individuals, regardless of their starting point. Fitness is a journey, not a destination- meaning that fitness is not something that is necessarily achieved and moved on from. Fitness is a lifestyle. We also still like pizza too. Just in moderation.

Hockey is a hobby of mine that iv been participating in since i was 4 years old. When I started playing competitive hockey, a group of girls in my town connected and played the game with each there for our entire childhood. As we grew up we all became really close friends as we were travelling together and spending majority of our time together. We all have similar goals when it comes to playing hockey, and similar interest in sports.

When you become part of a rugby family you get taught how to act and how to talk like a rugby player.

A discourse community I am apart of is my PN class. We talk about the different things we lean in classes and our goals. We help each other come up with ideas to help each other succeed and move forward. If you were not in the program you may have troubles understanding or fitting in with the PN students. With us having a heavy work load and outside lives we can all relate to each other where people in different classes may not.

I have played World of Warcraft for over a decade now and while I have ventured into other online games, Warcraft is my favourite. There is a core group of about 10 players that I have gamed with over the last 8 years and we have more or less developed our own unique play style and means of communication via inside jokes or past incidences. It is difficult for newcomers to fit in with us but we do of course welcome them openly.

I like poetry:  reading it, writing it, and attending poetry readings. A Canadian favourite is the late P.K. Page.  From her poem, "My chosen landscape":
