Alpine Club of Canada Vancouver Section - General Info

ABOUT US
                                                                       
The Alpine Club of Canada (ACC) was founded in 1906 as Canada’s national mountaineering club. It consists of 18 sections across the country, in addition to the National Office and Clubhouse in Canmore, Alberta. 

The Vancouver Section currently has over 400 members who share a great enthusiasm for the outdoors. Every year hundreds of people enjoy ACC-Vancouver Section adventures. We have a comprehensive schedule of activities ranging from family hikes and easy day trips to more strenuous mountaineering, backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, ice climbing, and rock climbing trips. We also offer numerous weeklong ski and climbing camps, and a variety of skills workshops. The National Club offers reasonably priced trips, courses and camps across Canada and internationally. 

The public is invited to attend our monthly meetings and slideshows, starting at 7:30pm in the Floral Hall of Van Dusen Gardens (37th Avenue and Oak Street in Vancouver) on the fourth Tuesday of each month (except July, August and December). Trips are also open to non-member guests at the discretion of the leader, with the hope people will ‘try us out’ once or twice before joining.
