Active Social Mixers

Urban and Outer City Hikes(dogs welcome)
SoleStride organizes urban hikes around Calgary's scenic city parks. Outer city hikes are usually planned in the Kananaskis/Banff area. Car pools are arranged for hikes outside of Calgary. Hikes are a great way for getting active while interacting with a variety of like-minded singles. Hikes are followed by barbecues, cafe mixers or pub mixers to enhance interaction. Walking with dogs promotes great conversation topics! Click on SoleStride's mixer list for our next active hike!

Roller Blading
For those looking for a relaxing way to break up the work week, SoleStride plans easy paced roller blading. SoleStride roller blade nights are for all levels. Roller blading provides a pleasant atmosphere for connecting with other Calgary singles. Roller blades are followed by some mingling over appies & refreshments at a nearby eatery!

Evening Canoes
Canoeing along the scenic Glenmore Reservoir provides a serene and peaceful atmosphere for making genuine connections with Calgary singles. The Calgary Canoe Club offers great rental prices which includes all the necessary safety items.

Introductory Rock Climbing
Have you ever been interested in heading out to the great Rockies for some climbing? The Southland Leisure Centre offers private group lessons for those interested in the rock climbing basics. Learning a new activity is a super way to interact naturally with some new Calgary friends.

Winter Ice Skating
When the ice freezes, single SoleStriders "break the ice" so to speak over some skating mixed with a whole lot of socializing! Once everyone hits the ice, natural conversation and a lot of laughs are a given. SoleStride tries to plan skates at locations with rentals to give everyone a chance to come out. After getting to know everyone on the ice, lively socializing continues over some steamy drinks and treats at a convenient coffee house or restaurant. So far our skates have been a blast so come on out!

Fundraising Mixers
SoleStride is now organizing walk and jog teams for various community fundraising events in Calgary. It's a great way to get actively involved in the community, stay fit and have a lot of fun!

Thanks fellow SoleStriders for helping Calgary families in need by participating in the Salvation Army's 2006 Santa Shuffle! Click here for pics!

Thanks also to everyone for support MS research by raising money & walking in the June 2007 Enerflex Supercities Walk! Sorry we forgot pictures...next year!

Social & Cultural mixers
SoleStride plans some social/cultural mixers around its active mixers so its singles members can get better acquainted in different atmospheres. These mixers are great for singles who enjoy complimenting their physical activities with some mentally stimulating events. They are usually arranged every second month.

Social/Cultural Mixers Have Included: Wine N'Cheeses, After Work Mixers, Billiards Nights, Barbecues, Live Bands, Theatre, Festivals, Dim Sum, Member Suggested Activities

Contacting SoleStride Members
To avoid awkward moments, there are no structured singles setups during any of SoleStride's mixers. Instead, with SoleStride's facilitation, single SoleStriders initiate their own connections be it friendships, networking or something else.

After a mixer, members can click on the "Members Only" area to potentially make contact with other members they have met during past mixers!

Your Input (makes SoleStride successful!)
What makes SoleStride successful is the enjoyment of its members through mixers that they are interested in. Interest surveys are sent to members to determine which active and cultural mixers are most popular amongst its members. From surveys and on-going discussions with members, SoleStride tries its best to accommodate a variety of member needs!
