Welcome to the first ACC Safety Bulletin! Based on incident reports, personal stories, and evolving risks in alpinism, the safety committee provides regular information on things to know/watch for in the backcountry to keep your next trip safe! The Safety Bulletin will be an on-going series covering various safety topics.
The 2025 ACC Annual General Meeting is this Saturday, May 31. All ACC members are welcome to join, either in person, at the Canmore Opera House, or online via MS Teams. We hope to see you there!
High-elevation headwaters are the lifeblood for people and ecosystems alike. They provide the freshwater that pours through taps, supports the growth of food, and nurtures a diversity of freshwater species, including the iconic Kokanee Salmon.
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.
