Leadership
ACC Yukon is proud to be a local leader on a number of initiatives
Stewardship & Access
With the territory’s population growing rapidly and our unique land management landscape, we are forming a Stewardship & Access committee to begin building respectful relationships with all land managers, particularly First Nations. It’s important that we as recreationists represent sustainable recreation and show land managers that our presence is value-added on the land.
Reconciliation
As part of our effort to build relationships with First Nations, we have begun offering First Nations specific programming. In Summer 2023, we obtained funding from Lotteries Yukon to provide climbing days for the Ta’an Kwach’an Youth Summer Camp, where we were able to show TKC youth how we connect with their beautiful territory in a sustainable manner.
We hope to provide more programming like this to any interested Yukon First Nation in the future.
Club Hut
With feedback from the Community Survey, the club is seeking to develop a backcountry hut for members and the public, to support human-powered recreation deeper into our beautiful wilderness. This initiative is early-stages and a committee is being formed to determine possible locations and barriers. Backcountry skiing, hiking, and mountaineering will be the main focus.
