WALKING

ALL organized walks are CANCELLED indefinitely in keeping with AHS and the Alberta Government regulations. This includes Leisure Walkers and the Intermediate & Fast Walkers. The health and safety of our members is our top priority. Please check here for updates.

We have 2 walking groups: Leisure Walkers and Intermediate and Fast Walkers. Spring and summer walks are mainly taken along the many pathways around Calgary and are selected for the scenery and interest they offer to seniors. Starting points vary and participants are expected to reach these points by their own arrangements. Join the group which best meets your needs. Both groups are welcoming and social.

Leisure Walkers

The Leisure Walks are usually 5 - 6 km and 1½ hour long. We walk at a comfortable pace and socialize on the way. We cover many of the pathways in Fish Creek Provincial Park and some areas in the South of Calgary. 

All Leisure Walks are CANCELLED indefinitely due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Please continue to check for updates in the months to come. ​Try to get your exercise regularly, stay healthy and safe.
