'Subreddit' aims to get Calgarians off the computer and start socializing in the community

But a few days after landing in town, Innes joined the Calgary Social Club, an online group that plans various spontaneous events in the city.

Food tour on 17th Avenue S.E. introduces Calgarians to authentic restaurants
The smells waft your way as soon as you walk through the door of this brick building; it's the sweet and yeasty fresh bread.
Your eyes search for the loaves but instead you see a glass case, displaying dark-cured sausages and a round of ham, it's light pink and looks juicy.
