How RoundSix works in Calgary
- Pick your area and interests. It takes about a minute, in your phone's browser.
- Meet your circle. We introduce you to 5 people near you who like the same things and are free at similar times.
- Answer a question a day together. Light, fun questions, so you know a bit about each other before you meet.
- Hang out. Your circle picks a time and an easy public place, and everyone says if they're in.
- Keep the ones you click with. If two of you want to stay in touch, you become each other's people.
Making friends in Calgary: a short guide
Calgary is a young city with a lot of people who moved for work, which makes it easier than you'd think to meet people: plenty of others are looking too. What makes it harder is how car-oriented and spread out it is, and long winters that keep people home after work.
Use the city's outdoor habit
Calgarians get outside: the river pathways, the mountains an hour west, skating and skiing in winter. Hiking, running, cycling and ski groups are some of the easiest ways in, and a day trip together turns acquaintances into friends faster than months of after-work drinks.
Go where the regulars are
Rec centres, climbing gyms, rec leagues and community associations bring the same people together every week. Community associations in particular are very active here and a good way to meet neighbours.
Plan for winter on purpose
From November to March, plans have to be deliberate. Board game nights, trivia, classes and a standing weekly coffee keep friendships going when nobody wants to leave the house.
Where RoundSix fits
RoundSix puts you in a small group with five people nearby who like the same things, so plans are close to home and easy to keep. You answer a question a day for a few days, then meet up somewhere easy for everyone.
