Alpine Club of Canada 4.77

While the ACC’s national office is in Canmore, Alberta, the core of the Club’s activities are the volunteer-led outdoor recreation opportunities offered to its over 10,000 members through the 22 regional sections across the country. The club also maintains membership in the Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme (U.I.A.A.), provides year-round mountain adventures and operates the largest network of alpine and backcountry huts in North America.

Over more than a century the ACC has grown into a full-fledged mountaineering organization with a strong foundation of volunteer, professional and corporate support. The Club's goals remain the promotion of sport, skills, adventure, access, and environmental responsibility. The ACC publishes the annual Canadian Alpine Journal, which is the journal of record for achievements in climbing, mountaineering, ski mountaineering, and exploration of mountains in Canada and by Canadians abroad.
