The ACC Waiver Requirement

All ACC members must sign a Release of Liability waiver before registering for activities. Waivers are valid for 12 months. Adults sign their own; guardians sign for minors.

The ACC Waiver (Release of Liability) is a legal agreement that members and trip participants must sign before joining ACC activities. Without a current waiver on file, you can't register for camps, courses, section trips, or hut bookings.

Key facts

  • The waiver is valid for 12 months from the date you sign it
  • Adults sign their own waiver
  • Parents or legal guardians sign on behalf of minors (under 18)
  • You'll be prompted to sign or re-sign the waiver in the member portal when needed

How to sign or re-sign

  1. Sign in to the member portal at app.alpineclubofcanada.ca
  2. If a waiver is needed, you'll see a prompt
  3. Read the agreement carefully and sign electronically

If you can't access section activities

If you haven't signed the ACC Release of Liability, you won't be able to sign in to your section's portal. Sign the waiver through the main ACC portal first, then try your section's portal again.

Non-member waivers

Non-members participating in introductory section activities also need to sign a waiver — usually a paper waiver provided at the start of the activity by the trip leader. Trip leaders should follow the ACC Waiver Infopack and Waiver Training Protocols.
