Alpine Club of Canada
The Alpine Club of Canada is Canada's national mountaineering organization.  Based in Canmore, Alberta,  the A.C.C. has been a focal point for Canadian mountaineers since 1906.  With local sections across Canada, membership in the Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme (U.I.A.A.), and an extensive system of alpine and backcountry huts throughout the Canadian Rockies, the A.C.C. has grown from its early inception into a full-fledged mountaineering organization with a strong foundation of volunteer, professional and corporate support.
