I cannot make it since I am going out of the province for a month for work.
It doesn't need to be tomorrow or next week. Just whenever works best. I'm mainly looking to make friends and meet people and families that I could build a relationship with that I could trust if and when shtf.
To Regularguy and all:I am not young ,and do not have a family still at home, there is just my wife and I.Prepping at any age and in any circumstance is a smart idea,even if you can only do a little at a time. I also have a few Ideas on how to prep,I spent about 8months preparing bugout bags for my wife and I which are kept in our cars,(might be on the road) I also have a larger pack at home if we are here when the shtf.
The cost was not too bad because we did it a little at a time(always alert to sales,dollar store items and d.i.y). The preppers best tool is his mind!!! I also found on line fire arm sales to be cost effective if I purchased (functional)surplus weapons and ammo.I already owned a 45acp and an old 1897 Winchester 12 gauge shotgun, I purchased a Russian svt40 semi automatic rifle and 880 rounds of ammo for less than 400.00$,and a Tokarev tt33 (762x25 CAL)and 2280 rounds of ammo for 400.00$. I find the TT 33 is comparable to a 40cal in hitting power much better than 9mm.
as far as other prepps I have allot of good homemade ideas that I can pass along!!!
Ps. I live in Lethbridge and would love to go to a meeting at a coffee shop to discuss prepping!!!

Still here for a little while longer
Preparedness is like a condom , I've rather have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it
Will any of you folks be going to the Calgary meeting on March 15th? I do like the idea of meeting people from Lethbridge as this is where I live. I am going out of the country for a little bit, but maybe we could do a Tim Horton's morning or something at the end of February or end of March.
Live, laugh, love and learn!
New here and more into the resilient living aspects but I think just getting together for coffee would be a great idea.

Also check out the thread on the AB forums. We have set up a Meetup group that people can use to advertise events regionally if you want to. Meet up is a pretty effective networking application. Tucker put instructions on the thread.
I am from Lethbridge, and i am willing to meet. My weekend schedule in February is pretty open. Coffee at Timmies would be a good place to meet, that way if you do not like the look of my mustachio you can bail, and I would never be the wiser!

If you take a look at the meetup group you should see an option for RSVP. We have a meeting in mid march. RSVP as soon as you know your going to go. This way, we can rent the appropriate space for the amount of people.
Thanks for the info, unfortunately I be out of Province at that time, and will not be able to attend.

#2 of my 3 group selection is my step-son, DIL and grandkids in Lethbridge. Step-son's extended family in Calgary is huge.
Will be visiting Lethbridge during AB Family Day weekend in case anyone wants to get together for coffee.
