Toronto winters can feel long. Looking for a memorable event or a friend group that actually feels like home?
We are here for the fun, the warmth, and the friendships that last.
UTCA, full name University of Toronto Cupid’s Arrow, is a place for love, of all kinds. We believe it’s love that knits everyone together and makes our lives more meaningful. We might be known as the “romantic love finder,” but that’s not the whole story. Through creative events and frequent gatherings, we build real relationships, and it’s precisely this closeness that makes love easier to find here too.
UTCA is a student-led club dedicated to fostering a safe, friendly, and emotionally supportive environment for students seeking meaningful connections. We host a variety of on- and off-campus events each year, with major ones such as the New Student Welcoming Event (Sep), Condo Party (occasional), Halloween Costume Party (Oct), E-Gaming Contest (Dec), Spring Festival Gathering (Jan/Feb), Valentine Rose & Movie Night (Feb), Spring Outing (Mar), and Year-End Grand Gala (Apr), along with board games, meetups, hikes, karaoke nights, picnics, movie nights, fishing, snowboarding, dinner dates, and many more—exclusively for our members. As a member, you can learn and practice skills in marketing, communication, leadership, short-video creation, and even Chinese cooking. Last year, we hosted 15+ events, with 2 big ones exceeding 200 attendees.
Though UTCA is mainly a Chinese-cultured club, we welcome everyone from UofT to join and enjoy our fun events (all open to the public)! Don’t know anyone? We’ve got you! Attendees can complete an online survey on their interests, personality, and preferences for each event, which we use, along with AI, to guide pairings based on personality compatibility—so you can come to each event with anticipation about who you might connect with.
All events are supervised by trained group leaders or executive team members to ensure a comfortable and safe atmosphere. At its core, Cupid’s Arrow aims to promote emotional well-being, combat isolation, and help U of T students build lasting bonds outside of academics.
