The Board of Directors of the Alpine Club of Canada can convene board committees on a permanent basis (Standing Committees) or a temporary, ad hoc basis to address a specific, single event or issue. These ad hoc committees meet for a few months and then disband once their task is completed. The Board may decide to change some of these committees into Standing Committees that meet on a more regular basis.
ACC members who have an aptitude for these portfolios, as well as a desire to volunteer for the club are encouraged to learn about the committees below and reach out via the contact information provided to express their interest in being involved.
The ACC sincerely thanks all of the volunteers who make our club successful.

The safety committee is looking to add 1-2 new volunteer members. These volunteers would work to foster and promote safety in the mountain activities organized by the club through the National Office and local sections. For the Club to prosper and grow, diverse mountain activities must be available to the members in a safe and enjoyable manner. A commitment to safety in the pursuit of mountain activities is one of the core values of the Alpine Club of Canada. All mountain activities by their very nature are hazardous, risky and can never be completely safe. Yet it is paramount for the Alpine Club of Canada to strive for a high level of safety in all its activities.
ACC members from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, abilities and experiences, with a strong interest in safety and the future of the ACC, are encouraged to contact the ACC’s VP activities for more information.
