👨‍👧For Calgary fathers who need a minute

Calgary dads,
show up for each other.

A quiet corner of the network for the men raising kids in this city. Activities you can actually do with a toddler in winter, places to take a teenager for a real conversation, dad-only meetups, and the resources nobody handed you in the hospital.

Real-time Calgary, every question

Howdy. Real-time Calgary, every question Ask away.

House rules

No score-keeping. No "well, actually." No replies to your inbox at 11pm.

This site is built for working dads, divorced dads, new dads, stay-at-home dads, step-dads, and dads who are not sure which of those they are this year. It is not a parenting magazine. It is not where we argue about screen time. It is a Calgary-specific map of where to take the kids on a weather day, the meetups where other dads actually show up, and the resources you can use without judgement. If you have a Calgary-specific thing other dads should know, tell us at the email below.

What this site is about

A short list of what we cover, and what is coming next.

  • Things to do with kids

    Saturday mornings sorted. Indoor on weather days, outdoor on Chinook days, both age-tagged.

  • Dad meetups and groups

    New-dad circles, single-dad meetups, hiking groups, Saturday morning coffee crews. Real Calgary dads, real schedules.

  • Real talk resources

    Mental health, divorce, parenting tweens, parenting teens. Calgary-specific, no judgement.

  • Ask Dusty

    He can suggest an activity for the age of your kid, a meetup near your neighbourhood, or a quiet bar to escape to.
