New to Calgary? Start here
If you've just moved to Calgary, the fastest way to feel at home is to join something small that repeats. A weekly run, a regular trivia night or a shared dinner gives you familiar faces and a few favourite spots. JNUP lists these in one place, built for people who don't know anyone yet.
Your first month
- Pick one recurring thing and go three times. The third visit is when people start remembering your name.
- Explore one neighbourhood at a time. Beltline, Mission, Inglewood and Kensington each have their own feel.
- Say yes to the small JNUPs. A table of eight beats a crowd of eight hundred for actually getting to know someone.
New Here
One of the formats we're launching is called New Here: a table for people who've recently moved to Calgary. Everyone at it is new too.
Questions people ask
- I don't know anyone in Calgary. Is JNUP for me?

- Which parts of Calgary does JNUP cover?
Central neighbourhoods first: Beltline, 17th Ave, Mission, Inglewood and Kensington.
What can you join in Calgary?
Small events at local spots. Come solo or bring a friend.
