  • 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.

  • The Lake O'hara Region of Yoho National
    LAKE O’HARA AND LAKE OESA, YOHO NATIONAL PARK, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA The Lake O’Hara region of Yoho National Park is a restricted-access area: the 11+ kilometer access road is closed to public vehicles and bicycles, so the only way to get to Lake O’Hara is to hike in or ride the bus. As of July 2013, a seat on the bus could be reserved in advance, or a hiker could show up at the parking lot and be on stand-by in case one of the hikers with a reserved spot cancelled out. As we were unable to secure a spot on the bus, we hiked in. Bus-riders automatically get a spot on the bus back out from Lake O’Hara to the parking lot; walk-ins can also get a spot on the bus back out. It appears that, to make sure everyone leaves the Lake O’Hara area safely, they will take as many bus trips as needed to get the walk-ins back to the parking lot. For up-to-date information on this bus system, check the Yoho National Park website. These four photos show some views on the hike up the access road to Lake O’Hara: Panorama of nearby mountains on the way to Lake O’Hara: Looking across Lake O’Hara towards the valley where Lake Oesa is located after finally completing the hike up the access road: Another photo of Lake O’Hara as we begin in the clockwise direction on the trail around the lake Two panoramas showing reflections of distant mountains in the lake as we continued on the trail: After 0.8 km around the lake, we started on the trail to Lake Oesa, which climbs somewhat steeply through some short trees before reaching a rocky area: Looking back down the

  • BANFF, JASPER, KOOTENAY and YOHO NATIONAL PARKS: OUTLYING HISTORIC BUILDINGS DATA BASE by Richard Friesen and Associates
    EnvirOnmenl Canada •• Parks Paics Microfiche Report Series 235 BANFF, JASPER, KOOTENAY AND YOHO NATIONAL PARKS: OUTLYING HISTORIC BUILDINGS DATA BASE by Richard Friesen and Associates 1985 The Microfiche Report Series is intended for internal use by Environment Canada - Parks and is printed in limited numbers. These microfiche-are distributed to various public depositories in Canada for use by interested individuals. Documents are reproduced exactly as received and have not been edited. Introduction· The enclosed data base provides information on sixty-six commercial and non­ co.m mercial structures located outside the townsites of Ban ff, Lake Louise, Field and Jasper in the four mountain national parks along the continental divide - Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho. All of these structures are in use and are owned by individuals or groups, but comprise only a part of the cultural heritage of the parks. Not considered in this data base are urban residential, commercial and non-commercial structures, government-owned structures in and out of the towns, structures associated with the railways, gas pipelines and private contractors, abandoned sites such as Pocahontas, Bankhead or the Monarch mine in use during the historic period, or pre-historic sites. The structures under consideration comprise four different types -outlying commercial accommodations which are either utilized on an overnight basis (bungalow, camps, motels) or are destinations in their own right; hostels which provide non-commercial accommodations; structures associated with ski hills, and finally trail shelters and alpine huts utilized, but not occupied, by back country travellers. This data base was compiled in response to an expressed need for accurate, documented information on the structures for planning purposes.
