Saskatoon Outdoors and Games Club

Welcome to Weekly Wander! The goal is to get active, enjoy conversation and get to know different areas in and around Saskatoon! All are welcome- we only walk as fast as our slowest walker, BUT pay attention to the walk time for an idea of distance/fitness level. You want to be sure you sign up for a walk you will enjoy!

Rules: Cancellations (even last minute) are fine, just change it to not going. If the walk is NOT full feel free to join us without signing up. If it is full, wait for another one as its hard to feel included/keep up pace. Walks will start 5 min after the posted time and we will not wait (but feel free to try and find us)

Walk #7- Richard St Barbe Baker -Valley Rd

Meetup maps arent great so I suggest looking it up on google BUT just go to valleyroad turn right at the cedar estates sign soon after the bus transit are. Park at the 1st little parking on the right. (See photos - took pic of trail head so you know you are in the right place)

The trails are quite flat but we will be walking a long ways so wear good walking shoes and bring a water bottle. Bring a coat as if windy or cold- some areas have good tree cover but some are in the open.

For those who want to walk but the distance is too far - I suggest parking in the 2nd parking lot at the dog park (just keep going down the road) and wait at the trail head to the right 15 min after the start time (see photo) If you also dont take one little detour and wait for us then your walking time will be under an hour.

Please bring $2 to help pay the organizer of this group as meetup fees are rising. You just need to pay once in 2026.

Calling all card enthusiasts - from expert to beginner- who enjoy visiting and playing.

I have a table reserved for 10 of us. RSVP will open 1 week in advance as then you will know if you are free/less likely to forget.

I have a card book with games and we will pick a game from there to play together or break up into groups - but EASY games only. We will switch games halfway through.

This is intended for ANY skill level to be able to play and is more about community :) We will play a cards face up practice hand while I explain the rules and then get playing.

Please be mindful of the following:

1. Show up on time. We will wait a few minutes after for everyone to order.
2. You must order a drink and/or food item to support the business.
3. You must be patient and kind to everyone as we all have different skill levels of cards.
4. If you can't come cancel at least the night before to give those on the waitlist enough notice to come.

NOTE- I am not organizing specific games. You dont need to message me if you cant come. We will play with whatever numbers. I started tracking no shows and will remove repeat offenders from future events so that will help with organized events like these.

Bring your own skates, no lessons (though I used to teach skating so can give pointers if you ask. I suggest wearing a helmet if learning), skate at your own speed, take breaks and sit down when you want. We sit at the furthest stands on the right from the main entrance. It is safe to leave your things there. Parking on street or in back parking lot, and door entrance is on McEowen Ave.

See below for cost. Pay at the door . They accept debit/credit/cash payments. FREE if you bring your leisure pass to scan. (FYI a monthly leisure pass includes rinks, pools, gyms and is a much better deal)

2026-2027 admission rates:

Adult ( 19 and over) 7 .50
Youth (6 -18) 5.25
Toddler (0-5) FREE
Family $15.00

*Please bring $2 to pay the organizer if you have not paid member dues yet in 2026. This is to help offset the rising costs of meetup. FYI if you are new to meetup DO NOT purchase a paid plan - it makes you think like you have to but keep clicking the x's and meetup works fine without one. Only the organizer needs to buy a plan.
