Awards

Volunteers are the heart and soul of The Alpine Club of Canada. Season to season, day in and day out for over a century, our volunteers run the sections, write articles, lead trips, protect the alpine environment and demonstrate their commitment to the club.

Our volunteers are the heart of our community. They know the mountains intimately and are dedicated to creating welcoming, supportive outdoor experiences for all. Across Canada, volunteers organize and lead outings, and help to connect people to the wild, to each other, and to the natural world. Without them, our community simply wouldn’t exist.

Volunteer Awards

The ACC Volunteer Awards are intended to recognize those of our members who have made significant contributions in furthering the aims and goals of The Alpine Club of Canada and Canadian mountaineering in general. These Awards are one small way that we hope to show them our appreciation.
