Hey Calgary!

I’ve been building **Gather&Go**, a local app built specifically to make finding and hosting casual, spontaneous group hangouts around town effortless (coffee in the Beltline, drinks on 17th Ave, patio crawls in Kensington, outdoor hikes, gym sessions, etc.).

Unlike Meetup or dead forum threads, it’s group-first, 18+ verified, and notifies people nearby in real time when someone puts together a casual plan.

We're gearing up for launch and looking for Calgary locals to test the early beta and share thoughts:

Would love any feedback on the experience, venue spots around Calgary, or features you’d like to see added. Thanks, everyone!

My partner and I are in our early-mid 20s. My partner identifies as bi-gender and I am female. We are finding it difficult to find safe spaces in Calgary and area, and its hard to make friends.

Any advice for how to make queer/ally friends in our area? We aren't too much into clubbing. We enjoy playing video games, board games, tcg pokemon, dnd and more.

Feel free to reach out and chat!

Hi I 28F am currently in BC. I’m planning to move in the next few years, as I went to Calgary a few years ago and fell in love. I’d love to get to know people currently in Calgary or surrounding areas. I am spiritual, don’t drink too often or smoke weed too often. I love having girls nights, going thrifting, poetry, photography and love cozy video games. Haha :) thank you 😊 I am in ADHD girlie too and I am very open minded and love having deep talks! :)

Hello my fellow Calgarians. I (34m) just moved into Kensington after a separation and am wondering what the good spots are for some late night activities. I know Hayden Block has half off meats after 10 and has a good bar. I'll definitely be going there. I'm a big cocktail guy. I've seen Pali Room on Google. For the cocktail people here, is that somewhere I should check out? Or is it worth just training into downtown for Proof etc.

Kind of looking for somewhere I can go enjoy a drink/little food by myself, maaayybeeee talk to people if I'm feeling bold. Actually talking to people feels a little crazy though. Let me know your thoughts!

Is watchmens an okay place to go karaoke alone? Or is it everyone is an American Idol so stay away unless you're Susan Boyle?

Just moved back to the city in the nw.
Looking for new f friends. I like sports, the outdoors and being in the mountains.
Dm open

Whats everyone’s plans tonight? It’s Friday and I haven’t b n out in 2 years. Im feeling great and spontaneous today. I’d like to go out and have fun! 27F looking for something to do on a Friday night.

As the title says. I actually have plenty of friends that I see often but I’m always open to more friends. I often host parties and game nights, try new restaurants, take road trips and look for new things to do around the city.

If you’re interested in any of these hit me up:
- board game nights
- themed house parties
- filming TikTok Challenges or just filming social media content
- new restaurants and bars
- clubbing (I go maybe once a month and sometimes I don’t even drink. I’m just there for music and to drive my friends home safely)
- dance classes
- kpop
- hikes
- concerts
- festivals, musicals, theatre performances
- going to the movies
- going to the gym. I’m on a cut right now and anyone who wants to work hard and get shredded with me, please hit me up!
- shopping
- Netflix binges at my house or yours
- Asian culture in general
- road trips to the mountains or Edmonton
- bubble tea dates

Any age and race welcome but I do get along better with 25 to 40 year olds. I tend to a bring a young energy to me. I’ll introduce you to my friends too so you can build a community here. I also really like people who just moved to Canada and are here to work temporary! I have made many friends who aren’t citizens yet!

Edit: I work remotely so I tend to travel and work a lot. Anyone who wants to take international trips to Asia with me or just like traveling too, I’m up for it!

Really need to make more friends here in Calgary! I love hiking, snowboarding, gaming, sports, reading, and just hanging out doing whatever. I’m only looking for other girls to be friends with so please ignore this if you are a guy

Hey YYC gang, I’m a late 30M who moved here early 2018. Was into Tech Consulting and now transitioning to active stock/options trading and Investing. I’m almost done quitting the 9-5 race and am getting into the FIRE(financial independence and retire early) lifestyle. I’d like to meet people of similar interest for coffee meets or hang out downtown clubs/bars/restaurants..

I'm very sick. Hope everyone is staying safe. Does anyone need a friend to talk to?

I moved to Calgary from BC about a month and a half ago and would love to make some new friends! I’m introverted but want to challenge myself to put myself out there more.

I’m also a Christian, and my faith is important to me, so I’d love to meet like-minded people, but I’m open to connecting with anyone as long as we respect each other beliefs.

For fun I love to go to the cinema, or try out new places, read books and hike. I thought I would give this a try and hope for the best.

M33 looking for new friends to hang out with

I'm looking to see if anyone wants to see dumb crush at the palomino tomorrow, tickets are paid for, but I've exhausted my list of friends who may be interested. So thought I might try to make some more.

hii!! 🤍I’m new to Calgary & thought I’d make a post to see if anyone else is in the same boat and would be interested in making new girl friend !! :)

I’m 25F and a uni transfer student looking to make some genuine, platonic girl friends !! I love chit chatting, trying new things, going out to eat, pilates, yoga, cooking/baking, thrifting, board games, painting & doing crafts.

I’m usually a homebody who loves cozy nights in, but also like playing music/getting ready, going out to explore, checking out jazz/comedy shows, and maybe getting a little wine buzzed heheh

I live downtown but haven’t really explored much yet, so if you know any cute cafes to study at or fun spots to hang out, I’d love to explore together 😊

I’m pretty easygoing and would love to meet some kind, genuine people who are also looking to make new friends! 💗

Hey guys this has a very low chance of landing with anyone 😭but I’m going to Montreal July 2027 for the Slipknot concert I know it’s super early but I’m just wondering if ANYONE is planning on going as well

Hello everyone, my name is Sean. Im 23 and I’m also a storm chaser and I’m looking for friends, preferably female, but I’m also open to male, all my friends seem to have forgotten I existed once I left high school, and I would love to be able to hang out with people over the winter, so I’m not sitting at home bored. I’m interested in swimming, bowling, cycling, and gaming.

Hello I am a 18M (ftm) and want to make some lifelong friendships. Due to my anxiety and being a introvert making friends hasn't been easy for me but i decided to put myself out there and try this. I am into Anime, video games, photography, exploring, and the alternative fashion scene.

I can be really shy meeting new people so keep that in mind, but once I open up I can be really outgoing. I want friends I can go shopping with, take photos with and just do anything with.

I would prefer 18-20y but any gender is fine!

Hiiii! Does anyone want to go skydiving next Friday, October 30 at 5:00pm? We currently have 3 people in our group who have already paid the deposit, and we’re wondering if anyone else would like to join us!

DETAILS:
Location- Skydive Extreme Calgary https://maps.app.goo.gl/9DGrVEpAYjp7g2f79?g_st=ic

Cost- Tandem skydive from 10,000 feet ($369) plus optional handcam video ($109)

^alsooo, these prices do not include taxes or discounts yet

If you need a ride, we can carpool if you’re able to meet us at the University of Calgary (UofC) that day! Unfortunately, we won’t be able to pick you up from your house, so if you can’t meet us at UofC, you’ll have to arrange your own transportation to get to the skydiving place.

WHY AM I POSTING THIS?

I’m not sure if they’ll give us a bigger discount if more people join, but that would be great if they do! Since we already have 3 people, we qualify for a group discount regardless. They also guve an extra $20 off for booking on a weekday.

Anyway, I mainly wanted to post this for anyone who’s been thinking about going skydiving but doesn’t have anyone to go with! You can join our group if you want, we have available spots for 2 more people :))

If you’re interested, feel free to message me (I’ll give you the link and group number once I confirm that you’re not trolling, for safety reasons).. We’d be happy to have more people join us!

Hey everyone I just moved here and struggling to find friends but I figured I would try connecting through here lol

I’m 23F and moved to Calgary about a month ago! Hoping to meet new people and find a little friend group here since I’m new to the city.

I’m pretty outgoing, but I balance out being a homebody at times haha. I like exploring new places, trying new things, going on little adventures, just being out and about, but I also like having those chill nights too. Hiking is also really fun, I’ve just never really had anyone to do it with.

I can be a little quiet at first until I get comfortable with people, but once I do, I open up a lot more haha.
Making friends in a new city can be a little intimidating, but I figured I’d try to put myself out there. I’d love to meet people (preferably females) who are also looking to build genuine friendships and hopefully form a little friend group haha.

I’m a 24-year-old man from Saudi Arabia, and I’m learning English. I’m planning to study in Calgary and would love to make new friends and practice speaking English before I arrive.
My English is still at a beginner level, so please be patient with me! 😅 I might take some time to express myself, but I’m always happy to learn.
I’d love to meet people who enjoy walking around the city, exploring new places, checking out cafés, and just hanging out.
I’m happy to meet both locals and international students. I’d also be happy to help anyone who wants to learn Arabic! 😊
If you’d like to chat, practice languages, or share recommendations about Calgary, feel free to send me a private message!

Thank you to everyone that showed interest in making this happen for a third time!

Once again, this will be a casual meetup for guys who want to grab a beer, shoot the shit, and meet some new people.

Whether you're into a specific hobby or interest, enjoy sports, the outdoors, or just looking to get out and meet some new people and have a laugh. Feel free to pull up and join the conversation!

There will also be a toy drive component! I've partnered with 'The Magic of Christmas' to collect and donate new/unwrapped toys to families in need this holiday season (toy donation is optional). Anyone that brings a toy will receive a 1 hour gaming card for their arcade.

When you arrive, let them know you're there for the 'In Good Company' event.

Hello everyone! I (28M) will be in Calgary for a work trip across the Halloween weekend, and am looking for something fun to do on the 31st. As I am not familiar with the city, is there any solid local shows, warehouse parties or club nights happening that you would recommend? I'm a big fan of electronic music (house, techno, bass, etc...)

​Also open to connecting or tagging along if anyone else is heading to a show that night, first round on me!

Thank you in advance for your advice!
