Are you a newcomer to Edmonton? Are you looking to meet new people, find things to do, and discover Edmonton's unique charm?
Established in 1968, the Edmonton Newcomers’ Club welcomes women who are new to the city or have lived in the city for less than two years. Members meet monthly and enjoy a topic which is related to the season or to getting to know Edmonton.
In addition to monthly socials, members get together for various fun activities which are of interest to them. e.g. Friday Coffee, Moms & Tots, Book Club and more. Other events also include spouses and/or children.
