Alpine Club of Canada Policy on Minors

The National body of the Alpine Club of Canada has developed a new Minors
Policy. The purpose of the ACC Minors Policy is to ensure that members and
volunteers follow industry best practices when recreating with minors and
protect themselves and the ACC from third party liability risk. The complete
Minors Policy can be accessed here. This policy is summarized in the Minors policy handbook which can be
accessed here.
