What we’re about
Welcome to Calgary Nature and Social Adventures!
We are a non-profit group run by volunteers. We accept members to attend in-person events and the Organizer may offer online events and webinars.
This is not a dating group. Private messaging for any reason without first meeting them in person is usually poorly received and could result in your removal from this group.
Our purpose is to provide opportunities for singles and couples to
- attend events that they normally would not do alone,
- attend events they have never done before,
- are new to town and are ready to explore,
- are looking to make new friends.
To become and remain a member of our group, YOU ARE REQUIRED
-
To post Your first name AND either the first initial or full surname.
-
Post a recognizable photo of only you. (This is an important safety measure and allows our organizers and members to recognize you when we meet.)
Please note: If your name and/or photo do not meet these standards later you will be removed.
Please follow this link for information on how to post or update your recognizable profile photo.

INFORMATION ON HOW TO MANAGE YOUR PROFILE AND ACCOUNT IS HERE
We pay MeetUp fees of $257.67 in February and August of each year for our website and apps.
A post and direct message will be sent out requesting donations before this automated credit card charge occurs. Donations can be sent via e-transfer to dawnerath@gmail.com or in cash at any event.
If you cannot attend an event, please change your RSVP to "Not Going" or message the host to change it for you.
Make sure that you do not collect too many "NO SHOWS" on your profile or you may be removed from our Group!!
IMPORTANT!!
Each time you RSVP to attend any event you agree to the following Waiver:
WAIVER
BY SIGNING UP (RSVP) FOR THIS EVENT, you signify that you are aware of all the risks associated with this event and your physical limits and how they relate to this event. You also agree that you take full responsibility without exception for the safety and well-being of yourself and your guest(s) and do not hold the organizer, host(s) or event organizers of the Calgary Nature and Social Adventures Meetup Group responsible for any harm, injury or property damage that might occur as a result of your participation. Participants who agree to carpool do so at their discretion and risk.
Where events allow for a guest, the guest is not considered an attendee of the group but is the full responsibility of the member who invited them.
In addition, Event Organizers who host events with an increased element of risk will require all attendees to sign our written waiver. https://www.meetup.com/Calgary-Nature-Lovers-Hiking-Meetup/pages/32190284/Copy_of_Waiver_for_Calgary_Nature_Lovers_Meetup/
