The Canadian Alpine Journal, published annually since 1907, is Canada's record of mountaineering accomplishments. The CAJ is noted world wide for its fine mountain literature and classic style. An index from 1907 to 1987 is available.
The Gazette newsletter is published three times per year, containing information about Club activities and happenings, as well as mountaineering, safety, and international articles, section news and classified ads.

The goal of the Summit Series is to recognize individual achievements and contributions that have strengthened the understating and appreciation of Canada's unique mountain heritage.
