“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”
— Robert Frost

👋Welcome to the Active Living Club.  We strive for Fun, Fitness, and Friendships!

➡️Building Community Outdoors
The outdoors can feel far away when you live in a city, but it doesn't have to. There are adventures waiting just around the corner.

➡️The Active Living Club is creating a community of people with a passion to get outdoors, explore, learn and have fun together. Our philosophy is simple; to disconnect from city life, for a few hours, and get outside. We provide events to get you to discover new places, build skills and meet like-minded people.

➡️The Active Living Club encourages you to try something new, expand your comfort zone and/or engage in something you already love. We welcome people of all ages, fitness levels and experiences. We will be discovering, exploring, walking, hiking, kayaking, canoeing and climbing through the parks, river valley and ravines of Edmonton and surrounding areas. We are creating a community of active enthusiasts who are curious to explore and thankful for the natural world that exists around them. Come with us and share your passion for nature.

➡️We also feature a variety of events to keep our brains active including movies, live performances, social gatherings, dinners, crafting, games etc.

➡️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. SayYES to adventure!

➡️We have launched 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!

➡️Your Profile:
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:
To check out our events, newcomers pay a registration fee of $10, with a pass for 5 free events. All current members and guests pay a drop-in fee of $2 per event per person. An annual pass of $30 is available and expires one year from payment date. That amounts to $2.50 per month!! Join the milestone challenge to get a free lifetime membership after attending 100+ events!
Passes expire one year from the payment date. Payments can be made in person at events in cash or anytime by etransfer at activelivingclub2@gmail.com.
Thank you!😊

➡️Inactive Accounts:
If your last visit to view the Active Living Club events online or your last event attended was more than 12 months ago, your account will be deemed inactive and will automatically be removed. We understand that life can get busy. Feel free to rejoin when you plan to be active with us again!

➡️Event Organizers do not have to pay a fee, however, they are expected to host and attend an event at least 5 times in the last 12 months 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!

Any donations for the Club allows us to continue to provide great activities! Thank you for your support!

See you on our next adventure!
