Many groups struggling against bigotry clamour at some point in their history for segregated spaces. The feminist people in the 80s started experimenting with womyn-only spaces.

There&#;s even a Pride festival there during the summer that lasts for an entire week!
During our visit, as you can see in the video above, we went for a bike ride with Pursuit Adventures, walked around Downtown Red Deer, including the Downtown Market, had lunch at Tribe, explored the Museum & Art Gallery, sampled the craft beer and mellow drinks at Troubled Monk Brewery, and, had dinner at To The Lost.
Special thanks to the See Red Deer for helping to plan our itinerary and here are some of the photos that I shared from our trip on Instagram:
