“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” - Robert Frost
Do you enjoy outdoor activities and adventures?
Welcome to the Active Living Club. We strive for Fun, Fitness, and Friendships!
This Club is for people who enjoy an active lifestyle, the great outdoors and meeting new people. We feature a variety of daily adventures for all fitness levels, including walking, hiking, kayaking, biking, live performances, movies, social gatherings and other activities. These events are a great way to get out, meet people, get some fresh air, explore new places and create adventures together!
If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact the Organizer or post them under “Discussions”.
Most of the activities are pretty tame, but any participation in this Club is at your own risk. If you want to meet fun and adventurous people, this Club is for you. Come join us. It will be an adventure you won’t soon forget. Say YES to adventure!
We are launching a C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E. !!

Get Involved:
We need Event Organizers and Hosts! If you don't see an event set up yet for your preferred activity, please volunteer by contacting the Organizer! You might be surprised just how many people are looking to do the same activity that you are. Why not become an Event Host or a Co-Host with another person?
Monthly Photo Contest:
You are encouraged to post your favourite photos taken at any event. At the end of each month, we will pick the top photo which will then be used on the front page and as the main feature picture for the following month. The winner will receive bragging rights!
Photos are how we keep our memories alive of past adventures we have done together. By joining this Club, you agree that your picture may be taken and shared within this Club. When you join, for safety reasons, you also agree to display a recognizable picture of yourself in your profile and use at least your first name.
Club Membership Fees:
There is an Active Living Club membership fee. Here is the fee structure:
- New Annual Memberships are $24/year as of date joined. Previous members pay only $20/year.
- Associate Memberships are $2 per event (up to $24 per year).
Payments are made in cash using exact change or by e-transfer (preferred) to activelivingclub2@gmail.com.
Lack of payment of any type will result in new (or expired) accounts being removed after a one-month trial period. Inactive accounts for over 6 months will also be removed. If this happens, feel free to rejoin when you plan to be active again!
Event Organizers do not have to pay a membership fee, however, they are expected to host and attend an event at least 3 times per year to retain their status. Organizers may choose to ask for donations to create a special fundraiser.
This Club is made possible by Event Organizers who donate their own time and energy. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you!
See you on our next adventure!
