The Society became a separate organization in 1980 and over the years has met at the University of Calgary, Memorial Park Library, the Masonic Hall, Knox United Church and since 1997 at Southminster United Church. The Society has monthly meetings and its programs are managed by a variety of committees and special interest groups. A journal, Chinook, provides information about society activities, and a variety of conferences have been held over the years to educate members about genealogical topics.
