Gay dating in Alberta

Alberta surprises people. Calgary has a real scene in the Beltline, a Pride that fills downtown around Labour Day, and a lot of men who moved from somewhere else for work. Edmonton has Oliver and Whyte Avenue, a festival for every week of summer, and a gay bar that moved up to Jasper Avenue.

Between the two, and out in places like Red Deer, Lethbridge and Grande Prairie, distance is the real challenge. That’s where searching a whole region beats a grid that only looks a few blocks around you.
