Being outdoors provides many healing benefits: it allows us to breathe, reflect and connect with our natural surroundings. While we may not even be aware of it in the moment, the benefits are there. In fact, research has shown significant healing benefits of nature for people experiencing significant loss or transitions in life.
To support people on this journey, the Friends of Fish Creek have partnered with Mount Royal University Professor, Sonya Jakubec, and Alberta Parks and created 
Good Grief: Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss
. 
Good Grief
 is an eight-week series of gentle walks that brings together people moving through the shared experience of loss with the intent that they will find support from each other, their community and their time in nature.
All walks are between 1.5 to 2 km round trip on relatively flat, paved pathways in Fish Creek Provincial Park, offering time to connect with nature and experience its healing power, with the support of Friends of Fish Creek Volunteer Companions who guide the group. All sessions start and end at the Bow Valley Ranch Day Use Area off Bow Bottom Trail SE.
Friends' Member price: $20 (8 weeks)
Non-Member price: $30 (8 weeks)
* Space is limited to 15 people per session.
If you would like to become a member or to learn more about the membership, please visit our website:

If you have mobility or financial restrictions that could impede your participation in this program, don't hesitate to contact Kumiko Kamiike, Visitor Services Coordinator, at kumiko@friendsoffishcreek.org before you register.
This program is not intended to be a counselling session or therapy experience, but simply a time to walk in nature with others experiencing a shared transition path.
Regardless of the transition you are experiencing — be it the loss of a loved one, job or relationship, a significant change in health or mobility, or other deep changes in your life —spending time in nature with people who are on a similar journey can be just the support you need.

Natural scenery

小思文

Calgary is a beautiful city. This is a city park. Princes Island Park has a rich natural scenery. The park is full of various green beauty plants and flowers. It is quite comfortable in the evening. The whole area is also good.

Peace Bridge

It looks like a tunnel bridge, and it is also a transportation hub for passing through the other side of the river. The color of this bridge is very eye-catching, with red intersecting structures. Vehicles cannot pass through, but people and bicycles can pass freely. There are lights at night, and Fengjia feels magnificent. 
[Scenery] Very beautiful

it&#39;s a nice place to visit not only for kids but for adults who love animals as well. i went here alone, and it was nice to have a walk and see the animals at the same time. sadly,the pandas are gone, but i got to see them before they&#39;re gone.
