Joined by our connection to our rocky land and our love of the environment around us and separated only by 20km of highway, these “two mountain towns” would provide an idyllic environment to showcase our youth’s talent in winter sports. Banff was first settled in the late 1800’s just after the Canadian Pacific Railway was built through the Bow Valley. In 1883, three Canadian Pacific Railway workers stumbled upon a series of natural hot springs on the side of Sulphur Mountain and shortly after, Canada established a federal reserve around the Cave and Basin Hot Springs and began promoting the area as an international resort and spa. In days past, tourists used the railway to come to the remote western mountain wilderness. Since that time, the town of Banff, nestled inside the borders of Banff National Park, has remained an internationally known vacation destination and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Canada. Now tourists travel to Banff to enjoy its mountaineering heritage, to marvel at the natural beauty, to shop and dine within its core, to attend its world-class arts and culture displays and to recreate within its surrounding wilderness. The railway was also instrumental in the establishment of the town of Canmore. Canmore started as a little coal-mining town with the opening of a coal mine in 1887 and the railway was used to bring in workers and to export the coal from the area. The coal mining industry in Canmore boomed well into the 20th century until the mine was closed in 1979. With the closure of the mine, the economic future of Canmore was uncertain until it was announced that Calgary would be hosting the 1988 Olympic Winter Games and Canmore would be hosting the Nordic events. Since the 1988 Olympic Winter Games, Canmore has seen significant residential and commercial growth. Throughout its transition from humble working class beginnings to its current eclectic mix, Canmore has managed to retain its small town wilderness flavour while developing into the recreational tourist, lifestyle and health and wellness destination that it is today. Winter Sports The 1988 Olympic Winter Games set the stage for Canmore to join Banff’s recreational tourist trade and allow the Bow Valley to become a world-class winter sports destination. The Canmore Nordic Centre, originally constructed for the 1988 Winter Games, hosted the games cross-country skiing, biathlon, and the cross-country part of the Nordic combined events. The Nakiska Ski Resort, also developed for the games, added another ski resort to and area already rich with alpine facilities (Mount Norquay, Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise). But the story only grows from here. Set in the majestic Rocky Mountains, Canmore and Banff have close access to several outdoor winter venues. Whether it be cross country skiing at the Nordic Centre or one of the many other groomed facilities around Canmore and Banff, alpine skiing and snowboarding at one of several ski resorts, skating on an outdoor pond, snowshoeing in the woods, ice climbing up frozen waterfalls, mountain biking up frozen creeks, backcountry skiing on remote slopes, or mountaineering up glaciers, the residents and visitors to the Bow Valley have endless opportunities to pursue their outdoor passions. As a result of these natural recreational opportunities, our communities have attracted a broad range of world-class athletes to the Bow Valley to continue to pursue their sport. At present, the Canadian Cross Country Ski ______________________________________________________________________________________ The 2014 Alberta Winter Games Bid Submitted by the 2014 Banff/Canmore Alberta Winter Games Bid Committee Page 1 Team, the Canadian Biathlon Team, Cross Canada, Alberta World Cup Academy (AWCA), Alpine Alberta Ski Association, the International Racer Canada Alpine Academy, the Canmore Eagles Junior A Hockey Team, and the Banff Hockey Academy call the Bow Valley their home.

    Alpine Club of Canada – Vancouver Island Section January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 Financial Statements (unaudited) Descriptions of Organization The Alpine Club of Canada is a registered Amateur Athletic Association and a registered Canadian charity (Registration No.: 10670 4182 RR0001). Its vision is to bring together, and give voice to, Canada’s mountaineering community. The Mission is to promote alpine experiences, knowledge and culture; responsible access; and excellence in mountain skills and leadership. The Vancouver Island Section is one of 22 local sections of the National Club. It receives some funding from the Alpine Club of Canada based on membership. The rest of the money is locally fund raised. All donations to the Vancouver Island Section are sent to us through the National Office and donors are eligible for income tax receipts. The Vancouver Island Section of the Alpine Club of Canada has two accounts at Coast Capital Savings. One is the general organizational account and the other is the Hut account, to build and maintain the new Vancouver Island ACC Hut. It also has 2 separate funds with Ogden Brown for the following purposes: Memorial Fund: for youth grants. Contributions are matched by the Vancouver Island Section. Funds are dispersed each year, depending on the interest income accrued over the previous year. Contingency Fund: for Contingencies if needed. As well, at the 2016 AGM, the membership voted to put aside $15,000 for a possible Vancouver Island Hut. Of this amount, $14,000 was put into the Contingency Fund to maximize fund income while the hut idea was further developed.

    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.
