about us.
GTFO started in the Summer of 2017 with a question …
Are there more New Brunswick women* interested in getting outside?
After hundreds of survey responses, a couple of years of adventure, and some dedicated women, we are a fully formed, volunteer-based group operating out of Fredericton. Our mission is simple: to build confidence, capacity and community in New Brunswick women through outdoor adventure.
We host a variety of events across all seasons and all outdoor pursuits. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned pro or getting out for the first time: GTFO is a place for women looking to adventure.
We have hosted events centred around skiing/snowboarding, hiking, snowshoeing, navigation, yoga and more. We host a ‘Wednesday Walk’ every Wednesday evening and this past fall, we brought the No Man’s Land Film Festival to New Brunswick for the first time!
*We use the term women+ which encompasses all marginalized genders.
We are committed to creating a safe space that understands the systemic barriers that many face in accessing adventure, outdoor spaces and community.
