Janine - Creator/Co-Owner

Janine Cote is the creator and Co-owner of GirlTalk Events. She came up with the idea while on maternity leave with her son Micah (now 5) when she realized that over time she had lost touch with a lot of friends and that a baby wasn't the best conversationalist. So from necessity came GirlTalk Events. It grew quickly as it became apparent that Janine was not the only woman in Calgary feeling this way, and that many people were looking for somewhere that they could try new things and meet new people without having to do the work of planning everything. Women of all ages came out, single, married, divorced, with kids, without, even grandmothers, and friendships were created, hugs were given, with laughter prevalent at all events.

Anna - Host

Anna moved to Calgary 4 years ago to pursue a new career and was surprised by how hard it was to meet new people. Looking to increase her circle of friends and experience all that Calgary has to offer, Anna found GirlTalk and started attending events. GirlTalk helped her have some unique experiences while meeting people she wouldn't have normally run in to. In fact, Anna loved GirlTalk Events so much she has now joined us as a host! Her favourite things to do include running, getting out with her two dogs, camping, dining, and spending time with her family. She is running her first half marathon at the end of May this year and is equally as excited as she is scared.

Brianna - Host

Brianna has lived in Calgary/Airdrie since 2002. She started attending GirlTalk Events when she realized most of her friends were guys and missed female friendships. Brianna enjoys camping, reading, shopping, cooking, anything outdoors and heading to the dog park with her golden retriever.

Nicole - Host

Nicole is a 28 year old born and raised Calgarian. She joined GirlTalk to meet new people with similar interests as well as to try new and exciting things. She is spontaneous and likes to try things at least once, whether that means new foods, activities or soaking in different cultures. She believes that you can learn a lot from everyone you know and come in contact with. Nicole can be quite silly at times as she loves to laugh and make others laugh too. She is looking forward to the experiences that GirlTalk will bring in the future and sharing those experiences with you!
