Sierra Club started out as a hiking club in the US in 1892. The early members loved hiking in the Sierra Nevada and enjoyed the outdoors. When their favourite places were in danger they turned into an advocacy group to protect the wilderness. The Chinook Group goes back to the roots with regular outings in Calgary and the mountains. In the past two years our core volunteer team dissolved due to school and work responsibilities. Now we are getting back on our feet. First with outings and soon aga …

So I wanted to start a group for people in my age group (say 25-35 as a ballpark, by no means exclusive though) that could get together and just chill out. I was thinking something along the lines of 'how I met your mother' kind of thing. I just moved here like 7 months ago and it's been hard to build up a coherent group of friends so this seemed an easier way to synthesize one. It'd be cool to have lots of different kinds of people join. I felt like a lot of other groups are too one-dimensional …

I'm excited about the potential of this group, and the wide range of activities we'll be doing.  My sentiments about this group pretty much echo those of the past organizer in that I'm hoping to get people out of their houses and doing something. Whether it's a BBQing event, showshoeing, hiking, coffee, walking in the park, going to a play.. anything is better than staying in! This group's purpose is to give members a wide range of activities to choose from.  I'll be trying to choose some activi …

First created in 2006, this group is focused on sharing the natural environment with group-minded people, to enjoy the scenery, take pictures, appreciate the company, and occasionally socialize off-trail. Our trips tend to be smaller groups and slow-paced. I'm trying to keep it informal and friendly. At the same time, I'm trying to create a certain kind of group: there are some rules, guidelines, and a waiver. Be prepared, be safe, and care for each other and the environment.  Please read the d …
