About
A Welcoming Hub for Adults 50+
Good Companions has been serving adults 50+ in Southwest Calgary for over 50 years.
The club was inspired by Mary O’Rourke after she visited a similar group in Ottawa. On March 11, 1973, she gathered community members to create a welcoming, non-denominational drop-in centre.
The organization was incorporated in 1974 and moved to its current location in 1977.
Today, Good Companions continues to provide programs, social connection, and wellness opportunities for adults 50+.
MISSION: To provide a welcoming space where adults 50+ can stay active, connected, and engaged.
VISION: To be a trusted community hub supporting healthy aging in Calgary.
