Founded in 1979 Calgary 55 plus was one of the first organizations in Alberta to provide active older adults an opportunity to engage in sporting and card events. Today as part of Alberta 55 plus Calgarians can compete Province and Nation wide. For a modest fee you too can become a Member of this dynamic organization. Click on the red ‘Join Us’ button at the top to join. For more information about the activities we offer, visit our Activities page.   

We run games in the Summer and Winter each year. We do not train people or hold regular leagues. Periodically Calgary 55 plus organizes Fun Days to introduce members to possible new activities and provides workshops/clinics for an activity where there is sufficient interest by members.

Members compete in age groups. The actual number of age categories in an event depend on the activity and the number of participants. Most games, like cards, darts or Scrabble® have two age groups. Active sports can have up to seven age categories.
