Activities & Amenities at Chartwell Colonel Belcher in Calgary

At Chartwell Colonel Belcher, we offer you or a loved one a variety of optional activities geared towards the six dimensions of wellness—physical, social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and vocational. Whatever your interest, there’s something on our events calendar, in addition to the many spontaneous activities and socials that happen each day.

Participate in our engaging activities

Some of our residents’ favourite activities are led by residents, including the operation of “The Mad Trapper” pub, organization of our library, dinner parties, speaker series and many volunteer opportunities. Our residents also enjoy fitness classes—such as the popular Rhythm ‘n’ Moves exercise class—friendly competitions in the games room, live entertainment, cultural celebrations around the holidays, and fun themed dinners with fellow residents and family members. We also arrange fun outings to malls, cultural attractions, and farmers’ markets, and summer trips to the spectacular nearby mountains in Kananaskis and Banff.

Our many amenity spaces act as the backdrop to your experience at Chartwell Colonel Belcher.

Leafing through the newest bestseller or a riveting thriller in our library? Catching a classic black-and-white film or a recent Oscar winner in our movie theatre with a bag of freshly-made popcorn? Or perhaps putting your green thumb to the test in our raised garden plots? Here, how you spend each day with us is up to you, but you’ll have a multitude of activities and amenities to choose from if you wish.
