Calgary’s Best Walks and The Joy of Walking

Lori’s visual presentation celebrates the joy of exploring Calgary on foot and becoming a tourist in your own city. Through her writing and presentations, Lori entices us to become explorers, to rediscover our communities, to find surprise and delight in overlooked corners, and to slow down and truly see the places we live. Lori’s books will be for sale at the event.

About the Presenter

Lori Beattie is the owner and guide of Fit Frog Adventures where she has been organizing and leading year-round Calgary walks, hikes, and snowshoe days since 1997. She is also the author of Calgary’s Best Walks, now in its 3rd edition, and Calgary’s Best Bike Rides, and features walking, biking, hiking, and connecting cities on foot and by bike in monthly articles in the Calgary Herald, her walk series on CBC Homestretch and many years as segment host on CTV Morning Live. She presents to groups on the pleasure of self-propelled urban exploration, being a tourist in your own city, building communities through walking, and making Calgary feel like home, one step, or pedal, at a time.

The Presentation starts at 7:00 pm, followed by Q&A at 8:00 pm
