Sierra Club started out as a hiking club in the US in 1892. The early members loved hiking in the Sierra Nevada and enjoyed the outdoors. When their favourite places were in danger they turned into an advocacy group to protect the wilderness. The Chinook Group goes back to the roots with regular outings in Calgary and the mountains. In the past two years our core volunteer team dissolved due to school and work responsibilities. Now we are getting back on our feet. First with outings and soon aga …

How many times have you seen hiking clubs where if you're not a super fast uber- hiker they don't want you going on any harder hikes or scrambles. They believe that if you are slower you should only stick to the easier stuff. Boring!! This is a club for those of us who still wish to do all styles of hiking from easy walks to scrambles. We just don't feel the need to make a "mad dash" for a summit or to finish a trail in record time. Hiking and being in the outdoors is meant to be an enjoyable ac …

So I wanted to start a group for people in my age group (say 25-35 as a ballpark, by no means exclusive though) that could get together and just chill out. I was thinking something along the lines of 'how I met your mother' kind of thing. I just moved here like 7 months ago and it's been hard to build up a coherent group of friends so this seemed an easier way to synthesize one. It'd be cool to have lots of different kinds of people join. I felt like a lot of other groups are too one-dimensional …
