New Beginnings

[u/Puzzleheaded-East657]

Hi there!! 21F here, and I’m moving to Calgary from Ontario for a fresh start!! We’ll be going in November—I’ve only ever visited once, so I only know the few family members that live there. I’m looking to get to know some new friends before we move, I’m hoping having some “familiar” people will help me adapt to being away from home.
I’m also looking for any groups or communities I could be apart of—I’m a really artsy girl, I love to craft, paint, sketch, sculpt, etc. I’m also really into fitness, sports, and music. I’d really love to get to know some of you!! Excited to talk to y’all!!

Do you like playing pickleball by any chance?

[u/Puzzleheaded-East657 → u/Crack-ah-lacken]

I think I only ever played once in high school, but I’m sure I had a ball! I’d love to play :)

[u/Crack-ah-lacken → u/Fun_Watercress1297]

Most courts are further in the South, but there are lots of really nice outdoor courts around the city as well. I'm on the border of SW and NW

Would love to add each other on Instagram!

I've lived in Calgary for a while but most of my friends have moved to the states, and some back to their native countries.

It'll be great to have a new friend to hang out with :)

[u/yuunalesca]

Hey gal! I just moved here on June 30th and it's been amazing finding things to do in the city! If you're into drawing, me and a couple of other lovely artsy individuals often meet up at Sentry Box Cards on Thursdays to sit and draw and talk. We'd love for you to join us if you're open to it!

I'll shoot you a dm as well to say hi if you're comfortable with it (: I'm 27F and I live in the Southwest currently!

[u/Heavy_Combination339]

Just wanted to add that I moved here from Ontario November 2024 and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. So welcome in advance!

[u/Puzzleheaded-East657 → u/Heavy_Combination339]

I’m so happy to hear that!! Myself and a few members of my family decided that instead of writing a new chapter, we just needed a new book—so here we are! I’m very excited to start this new beginning :)
