🧭 LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge that our activities take place on the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples across Canada. We are committed to respectful collaboration and stewardship of these lands.
Ice Climbing Canada is powered by athletes, guided by volunteers, and anchored by community.
Governance & Community
Ice Climbing Canada operates under the governance of the Alpine Club of Canada (ACC), which serves as the national authority for competition ice climbing. We are proud to support the ACC’s broader mission and growth.
Beyond competition, our role is to help grow the ice climbing community by sharing knowledge, connecting climbers, and promoting the efforts of ACC Sections across the country that actively engage in the sport. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected ice climbing family.
