Recess Cagary

our community

Our school of thought: Recess Calgary values community. Our community is brought together by adults who simply want to have more play in their week.

Play happens by having a bunch of people willing to embrace their inner child, be open to new friendships and get exercise (with a bit of competitive spirit).

 

Our only ask to participate is an inclusive, open attitude that is welcoming to all types of people, athletic ability and care for how you show up to have fun.

 

If you’re looking for an untraditional, semi structured way to meet people, exercise and just be a kid, Recess Calgary is the place. Come out once, twice a month or every week and be a part of our community.

Tyson Bankert founder of Recess Calgary

Hi! I'm Tyson, founder of the community Recess Calgary! I'm just another Calgarian with an idea to bring people together.  Think of me as your gym coach (but nicer), a fan of sport and exercise. I look forward to seeing you at the next session!

Are you curious what we do each week? First, each week is a little different than the last. Below is our blackboard of the variety of activities that we play. Think of the creative games you played in gym class, fun right? Within the hour the class will get to play 3-4 group games. Grab your friends and play those old school gym games that you didn't know you missed.

Did you know that we're playing on Treaty 7? With respect and humility we play on the lands of the Niitsitapi and the many people who call Treaty 7 region as their home, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina, and the Iyarhe Nakoda and Metis Nation of Alberta Region 3. At Recess Calgary, all 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission are critical for change.
