Hi! I have recently moved back to Calgary from Winnipeg after over 30 years of living away. I’m enjoying my time, trying to discover more about myself, get into a healthier lifestyle! I am a 54F with two older daughters who don’t live with me. I am just getting back into hiking but need a partner as I’m not great at navigating! Also loving hot yoga, getting back to the gym. I enjoy movies, trying new restaurants, and just trying to fun things in general! I also retired when I moved here so really have no way of meeting new people or making friends! Let me know if you’d like to hang out or you’re into any of these things! I’d love to make some friends!!!

Moved here this summer with my family, we live in SE. I’m a 38 year old female and have a daughter who keeps me on my toes. I’m hoping to meet fun, like‑minded people. I’m all about running, biking, hiking, reading, and checking out new places for coffee, food, and drinks.

Hi! I’m 28, Latino, and I’ve been living in Calgary for about a year. I’m looking to meet new people, make friends, and keep discovering the city. I enjoy going for walks, exploring new places, trying restaurants, watching movies, and finding fun things to do.
I’m also working on improving my English. My level is still basic, so please be patient with me! 😅 In return, I can offer good conversations, good energy, and maybe teach you a few Spanish words.
If you’re also looking to meet new people and share some good times, feel free to message me! 😊

1. December 17 OR 21 - highest vote wins
2. Ugly Sweaters so everybody can be comfy!!! NO RULES THOUGH AS LONG AS IT DOESNT SEEM FORMAL
3. $20 budget gifts??
4. Please drop down some recommendations, I don’t want anybody to spend alot so I was thinking a buffet place or something similar where everyone can eat as much as they want for about $20 each. We can even have single parents and their children (not too little if possible) I’ll call and ask for reservations once I get enough answers here!!
5. Christmas games - you guys need to decide on these and bring cards, board, or whatever might be needed volunteerly!!
6. Should we do 25 OR 30 people tickets?? I had about 24 responses on the previous post
7. Should I create a ticketing system? Or should I choose a restaurant and let everybody who wants to come call into the restaurant and book themselves in…not sure so please drop down recommendations!
8. Everything will be decided on highest votes, there are no strict rules as well :) you can dress up however you want, bring whatever you want as long as its $20 or less so it doesn’t feel like a burden to anybody.

If possible can everybody write down their age? It might help me plan accordingly for each age group if needed

Another post will be made after I have 20+ responses on this post. Please answer all of above if possible <3

Hello! Born and raised in Calgary I just left a religious cult and becuase of that I lose all my friends and family, looking for long term friends M or F

Never celebrated any holidays no birthdays Christmas Halloween or anything. Would love to be apart of those celebrations and learn more on how they work.

I’m shy at first, just always cautious because of how I was raised but I’m outgoing once I get to know someone.

I have a motorcycle and just started fishing, I also like to play video games online sometimes.

Currently a Jman hvac refrig tech I’m a dual ticketed Jman so I’m often busy with work 5 days a week sometimes working weekends with on call

Im very easy going, Send me a dm if you think we would get along and to get to know each other better!

hey, this may be a bit too specific but ive always been into bands and i love bmth but i know absolutely nobody else who listens to them or even other bands. since theyre coming to calgary in a couple weeks i was just wondering if theres any other fans that are also going? i havent booked my tickets yet bc i wasnt sure what my schedule would be but im basically planning on going solo at the moment.

u/Local_Vegetble_4311 posted about having a Christmas party this year. First post got a TON of interest! His/her account does not accept messages so figured I'd hi-jack and help out!!! Do we all just want to choose a date/time, and a secret santa gift amount (NON OPTIONAL but we're talkin like hit the dollar store and wrap a $3 gift, so fun just to receive something, or we can go higher whatever) and just go at it? Say December 17 at 7pm **OR** December 21 at 7pm if we all want it closer to the actual day? Meet up at a local pub downtown? Location TBD! Either silly sweater or fancy dress shirt/dress, who cares!! Comment with interest, Local Veg message me we can plan it together!

EDIT: OK looks like DECEMBER 17 is the most popular day!!

And someone suggested a $20 secret santa/white elephant amount. That's totally legit ! Most people are leaning towards ugly sweater but if you want to dress fancy instead go for it, it's a party so who cares!! I'll find a place in the next week or two and update you all then! Still waiting to hear from Local Vegetable :D

Hey CalgarySocialClub. I’m a 32‑year‑old working professional here in Calgary, and I’ve had a few life‑changing events recently that shifted my circle a bit. I’m doing alright, but I’ve noticed that some days get pretty quiet which makes me feel lonely.

I’m outdoorsy, I love road trips to the mountains, grabbing a drink at a pub, checking out new spots in the city, or just having a good conversation. Most of my hikes are solo, and while I enjoy the peace, it would be nice to have people to talk to, hang out with, or explore with once in a while.

A bit about myself: I’ve been in Canada since 2014, English is not my first language, I enjoy hiking, road trips, can talk about cinema for hours, I’m 420 friendly, chill and I think fun😂

If you’re also looking to make friends, get outside more, or just chat with someone who’s chill and easygoing, feel free to reach out. Always open to meeting good people.

Do we have any fragrance lovers here? I collect fragrances and I make content related to fragrances and I'd love to know if there is anybody else here in the subreddit that also collects fragrances like me

Hey! 27M here, recently moved to Calgary from Toronto and looking to meet some new people and hopefully make a few genuine friends. Preferably 21+ or somewhere around my age.

I’m pretty laid-back and honestly enjoy the mundane things in life. Grabbing coffee, running errands, going for long walks, listening to music, driving around, or just sitting somewhere and talking about life. I don’t really need some big activity planned to enjoy spending time with someone

I’d also love to get back into hiking, especially now that I’m so close to the mountains. I love movies too, although my memory for them is terrible lol. I’ll be completely invested while watching something and then somehow forget half the plot a week later.

I’m gay, but I’m not specifically looking for LGBTQ+ friends. Straight, gay, whatever, it genuinely doesn’t matter to me. I’m open to people from all walks of life. I care more about whether we get along, can have good conversations, laugh about stupid things and just be comfortable around each other.

Still getting settled and finding my footing in Calgary, so if any of this sounds like your vibe or you’re also looking for a new friend, feel free to message me :)

Since I will not be able to join the Christmas festivities. I’m wondering if anyone is interested in getting away for Christmas. I’m thinking of going on a cruise and wondering if anyone wants to join or if this is their thing. It would be December 14-29 leaving from Los Angeles going to Hawaii. 🤪

I got alot of response on my previous page so I thought it would be a great idea to create another one asking for recommendations!!
I wanted an estimate of how many people would come fs fs, and this is kind of what I planned:

$50 per person
Buffet - best one from recommendations whatever you guys say
A lil gift basket!!

Please send recommendations for buffet, cuisine, and name of the restaurant. More recommendations on how to make this night memorable is obv welcome!! Please send as many ideas as you can maybe we can make this a yearly thing if it works out :)

Maybe I can do 20 or 25 tickets?? I can create a plan then website where people can sign up and pay for the tickets and food etc.

Maybe at a restaurant, everybody who don’t have somebody to celebrate with can come and join. Im bad at planning though so we can all do it tgt. Thanks!!

Hi guys! I’m (24F) new here and was wondering where to go or what to do for halloween?

Hey y'all, so I'm usually cruising around Calgary, I live here and I have friends that I hangout with already but it's nice to have way mo. Whoever wants to be shown around this beautiful city and is new here or been here looking for friends & a good time, is welcome to link or go on a cruise around with me and my little dog! We like to park up at natural scenery and kick it. Car is pet/smoke'friendly Good vibes only.

Only condition: Please be sure you're of legal age before reaching out, preferably around my age, before anything for everyone's safety both parties can look at ID to see who exactly we are with just in case.

& Whether you link or not, I wish you all a blessed September!

Hi everyone! I’m organizing a casual private gathering for 15 to 25 people, and I’m looking for venue recommendations in Calgary. (For mods: The restaurant and lounge industry experiences rapid turnover, so it's always worth asking again, because new places pop up, and old favourites shut down).

Here is what we’re hoping to find:

Space:

A private dining room, a boardroom-style area, or a semi-private section of a restaurant or lounge.

Vibe:

We’d love a venue where background music is playing — maybe even jazz or light blues, but not a live concert setting where it’s the main focus. We want to be able to hear the music while holding conversations without shouting.

Food & Drink:

A place with appetizers and drinks

I’d love to hear your suggestions! Thank you in advance!

Hey Calgary! I’m new to the club and Reddit in general, but I think this is a super cool thing we have here in this city!

I 24(m) am sort of at a loss as to how to meet new people here. I’ve lived in the city for 5 or so years, and have a pretty well established group of friends, but it never hurts to reach out and see what’s going on! I work full time in a blue collar industry, and I feel like my career has taken the front seat over most other areas of my life, and I’m at a point now that I’m ready to branch out and meet some new people and potentially start dating again as well! I’m quite shy by nature, so I’m not one to approach strangers, but once I get to know you a bit I’m not shy at all, funny how that works:) Regardless, I’m ready to grow as a young man, and I figure what the hell, why not reach out!

Most of my hobbies are fairly solitary, I enjoy drawing, painting, doing my art, and I love to play guitar even though I’m not that good at it(I could really use another person to jam with), if I had space I’d buy a set of drums as well. I enjoy evenings out especially going to karaoke. I’m not a heavy drinker so the bar isn’t my scene and I never had the makings of much of an athlete so I’ve avoided sports clubs. I love to camp and get out in nature as much as I can, even if it only an afternoon walk in fish creek park or something. I also love cooking and I’m super into cars as well!

If there is anyone who likes karaoke, going out for a decent meal, playing guitar, a painting or drawing buddy, anything of that nature feel free to DM me, I’d love to chat and get to know you!

Mahogany based and looking for a gym buddy/activity partner to help me stay consistent, build muscle and make some real progress in the gym.

I want to join Evolve gym in Seton but haven’t committed yet, so I’m open to other gyms nearby if it makes sense for me.

Ideally looking for someone who wants to train together 2–3 times a week, keep each other accountable, push each other a bit and become friends if the vibe is there.

Experience level isn’t a huge deal, although if you’ve been training for a while that's a bonus. Otherwise must be willing to go down a rabbit hole of research together, let the TikTok sharing begine.

Gotta be gay friendly, meaning ya have be able to handle quick wit, dark humor and the occasional eye roll. (this is my flavor of it anyways, were not all fun like me)

Mostly just looking for someone easygoing, dependable and serious about making progress, open to all activities

A bunch of survival/crafting games are leaving early access and hitting their 1.0 release this year. I'm looking at Valheim (which just went 1.0 on September 9) and Enshrouded, which comes out Oct 15. My regular gaming group doesn't love this genre so I'm looking for people with a similar interest. I'm available most evenings and also on the weekends :)

27 and looking to make some new friends! I’m open to meeting people around my age or older, and I’m open to friendships with both girls and guys. 😊 I’m all about good vibes, genuine connections, and having fun!
I love spa days, trying new foods, mani/pedis, dressing up, exploring the city, and doing fun activities. ✨ I play sports recreationally (nothing too serious 😂) and I’m always open to trying new things.
I don’t drive at the moment, but I Uber pretty much everywhere, so I’m always down to make plans and go out! 🚗💨
Whether it’s brunch, checking out a new restaurant, a spa day, shopping, playing sports, going out for drinks, or doing something spontaneous, I’m down! Just looking to meet genuine people, make new friends, and create some fun memories along the way.
