Newsletter: The Breeze

The Edmonton Section offers a wide variety of winter and summer mountain activities for both the novice and experienced mountaineer, including indoor climbing, leadership training and a full trip schedule.

The Edmonton Section also has a very active Environment Committee and are Environmental Stewards of the Cardinal Divide Natural Area.

The heart of the section is in the Summer and Winter Trip Schedule.  Day trips, weekend trips, week-long camps, introductory courses, and leadership training are all available throughout the year.  Current details and updates are published in "The Breeze", our monthly newsletter, and an updated trip schedule is maintained on our website.

Monthly meetings featuring a slide show and guest speaker are held on the third Tuesday of every month (except July, August and December).  They are held at the Old Strathcona Performing Arts CEntre, 8426 Gateway Boulevard, at 7:30 p.m.  Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings to find out more about the Club, to meet new people, and to meeting new climbing and skiing partners.  An outdoor picnic and barbeque is held each June, and there is an Annual Photo Contest and Wine and Cheese held in late November.

A special bonus for Edmonton Section members if "Club Nights at the Urban Uprising Climbing Complex." Club Nights are held 1-2 Sunday evenings permonth, September though April. Club Night are free for current members of the Edmonton Section. Members also enjoy special rates at local climbing gyms.

The Section offers many opportunities for both the novice and experienced mountaineer to learn something new.  Two special courses for novices, "Winter in the Mountains", and "Summer in the Mountains" are held in the winter and spring of each year.  Courses on avalanche safety, navigation, glacier travel, wilderness first aid, climbing and mountaineering are available for all members to improve their skills.  Special training weekends for trip leaders cover ski touring, ice climbing or mountaineering, and cover general leadership skills and group management.
