Memberships with the Alpine Club of Canada are purchased through the ACC national website. There are a number of benefits to an ACC membership including visiting our backcountry huts, going on curated adventures, supporting alpine stewardship, and more.
While purchasing a membership, you will be able to affiliate with your local section(s). Affiliating in this way allows you to attend the outings, social events and training courses that are organized and run here. The Edmonton section is 100% volunteer operated. Outings are either free, or run on a cost-recovery basis. Section members climb, hike and ski together, clean up crags, volunteer, build, and partake in their mountain communities and culture.
