Honorary Membership
An Honour for Contributions in Canadian Mountaineering

Honorary Membership in the ACC was instituted in 1906 at the first meeting of the Club. The current form of this award is a special pin accompanied by a brass on wood plaque.
Honorary Membership is the highest recognition the Alpine Club of Canada offers for contributions to Canadian mountaineering and includes a life membership in the ACC. It is presented to individuals with a strong and sustained commitment to the Canadian mountain environment and Canadian mountaineering – recipients will have given outstanding service to the Canadian climbing community.
