The Alpine Club of Canada is grateful for the opportunity we have to work and play on the land known today as Canada. We recognize that these lands are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit.
The Alpine Club of Canada’s National Office is located on the traditional lands of Treaty 7, comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people. We acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place.
The Alpine Club of Canada is a registered Amateur Athletic Association and a registered Canadian charity (Registration No: 10670 4182 RR0001). The ACC’s US ACC Foundation can accept charitable donations from donors living in the United States. We will issue a charitable tax receipt for eligible donations of $20 or more.
