Connect With Nature K. Smtih K. Smtih OUR STORY During a celebrated expedition to explore the West, Dr. James Hector travelled ahead of the group, and became the rst European to discover a steep mountain pass in 1858. After the surgeon’s trusty steed knocked him over with a blow to the chest, the spectacular route was dubbed Kicking Horse Pass. Later, the Canadian Pacic Railway, whose transcontinental route travelled through the pass, set up restaurants at the base of Mount Stephen to avoid pushing heavy dining cars up the mountain. This laid the groundwork for creating the Mount Stephen Reserve, renamed in 1901 as Yoho National Park. Eight years later, a visiting scientist, Dr. Charles Doolittle Walcott, discovered the Burgess Shale fossils on Mount Wapta. These exquisitely preserved marine organisms offer a glimpse back more than 505 million years ago. With fossils designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 36 peaks soaring above 3 000 m, the rambunctious Kicking Horse River and numerous breathtaking waterfalls, it is no surprise Yoho was named after a Cree expression meaning “awe and wonder.” A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE Four of the mountain national parks—Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay—are recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientic and Cultural Organization as part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, for the benet and enjoyment of all nations. Among the attributes that warranted this designation were vast wilderness, diversity of ora and fauna, outstanding natural beauty and features such as Lake Louise, Maligne Lake, the Columbia Iceeld and the Burgess Shale.

  • People Progress Outreach Service
    PEOPLE PROGRESS OUTREACH SERVICE Annual Report 2016 The Alpine Club of Canada | Le Club Alpin du Canada Message from the President With the 2016 fiscal year behind us, it is time to celebrate our Club’s progress and milestones. I invite you to read these pages and reflect on our proud achievements. It is also a time to look to the future. For me, that means putting more boots in the mountains and growing our members’ pride in being part of this amazing organization. Many of our members join for the Club’s great range of activities. They soon learn the ACC provides so much more—a sense of history and shared passion for mountain culture, responsible access and preserving the environment. How can we continue to do better for our members? I believe it starts with enhancing connections with our Sections. In October, I had my first official meeting with our Section leaders in Lake Louise. It marked the initial step in a process of reaching out to determine their highest priorities so we can develop an effective nationwide strategy. In 2017, we will conduct a survey of all members, building on last year’s survey of Sections, asking you about your club experiences and expectations, for your ideas and input. There is a lot to be done, but with so many sensational volunteers committing their time, energy and support to projects across the country, our organization is uniquely positioned to thrive. It has been completely humbling to have been elected your President for the next three years. I will undoubtedly make mistakes.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • FHBRO Heritage Character Statement
    HERITAGE CHARACTER STATEMENT Page 1 FHBRO Number 97-98 Banff National Park, Alberta Abbot Pass Refuge Cabin FINAL DRAFT Abbot Pass The Abbot Pass Refuge Cabin was constructed in 1922, under the sponsorship of the Canadian Pacific Railway, to a design by Swiss mountain guides Edward Feuz, Jr. and Rudolph Aemmer. Built in a high mountain pass to accommodate parties of mountaineers, this one and a half storey cabin has undergone alterations shortly after Parks Canada took ownership in 1968, and again in 1986, 1993 and 1997. The building continues in its original use as an alpine cabin and is leased by the custodian, Parks Canada, to the Alpine Club of Canada. The cabin, located in Banff National Park, was designated a National Historic Site in 1992. See FHBRO Building Report 97- 98. Reasons for Designation The Abbot Pass Refuge Cabin has been designated Classified for its historical associations, architectural significance and environmental qualities. The cabin illustrates the period that became known as the golden age of mountaineering in Canada. Through its Swiss designers, it is associated with the long tradition of mountain shelters and Swiss mountain guides. The refuge cabin represents the theme of alpine recreation in Canada. The cabin is unique for being both the only shelter above the tree line, and for being the only surviving example of an alpine hut in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. It remains a well-known icon to the national and international alpine community. The Abbot Pass Refuge Cabin is a very good and attractive example of rustic architecture. A very rare example of a stone cabin in the national parks, it was designed to be highly compatible with its unique setting through the use of natural materials in appropriate colours and textures.
