Join a Local ACC Section

Regional ACC Sections are the Alpine Club of Canada’s strength. The vast majority of club members belong to a regional ACC Section. Membership in an ACC Section enables members to participate in numerous summer and winter mountaineering, rock climbing, and skiing activities, coordinated by experienced amateur leaders in their local area. The majority of activities offered by sections are either free or are offered on a break-even basis to their members. Through ACC Section trips you’ll learn all the basics you need to travel safely in the mountains, while meeting new friends to enjoy your experiences with.

There are also many social functions and volunteering opportunities in a wide variety of areas ranging from environmental advocacy to section management. Many ACC Sections have regular evenings at local climbing gyms for meeting up and getting in shape.

Opportunities to learn the crafts of mountaineering and climbing through local sections abound. Most ACC Sections provide basic training courses provided by professional guides or experienced mountaineers. Many sections also provide mountain leadership training for their section members with the aim of continuously improving mountain leadership and safety within the club.

Please note that if you already have an active membership, the section membership will expire at the same time.

Protecting our Natural Spaces

Subscribe to the ACC Dispatch newsletter to stay in the know.​

We appreciate that the lands known today as Canada are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit and we acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who continue to lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place. The Alpine Club of Canada’s head office is located in the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which is comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people.
