Central Alberta Section

Website: http://www.alpineclubofcanada.ca/centralalberta

Although the Central Alberta Section is centred around the Red Deer area, it has members in many outlying Central Alberta communities – some as far away as Lloydminster and Wainwright. Members are offered opportunities to participate in outdoor activities together no matter where they live.

Monthly meetings are held September to June, inclusive, on the first Tuesday of the month at the Collicutt Centre in Red Deer. The meetings are open to any interested parties.

The section newsletter, “The Runout”, is distributed quarterly and attempts to keep members updated on the latest happenings in the Central Alberta Section as well as news from other sections and the national club.

The trip schedules (available by clicking on “calendar” on this website or printed in our newsletters) outline section activities throughout the year. All members are welcome to take part in these events by emailing or calling the contact person.

Annual skill reviews for both summer and winter activities are also held.  These skill reviews (rock in the summer/ice in the winter) provide a good start to the season. These events are both for “review” purposes “introductory” for the novice.

The section tries to cover various types of outdoor activities but the emphasis is mainly on scrambles, rock climbs, ice climbs, and mountaineering trips. Members meet at local climbing walls on a regular basis – for more information, please contact one of the executive.
