Your First Steps After Joining

Just joined the ACC? Here's what to do first — set up your portal account, sign your waiver, choose a section, and get familiar with what your membership unlocks.

Welcome aboard. Once you've joined the ACC, here's the recommended sequence to get set up.

1. Set up your member portal account

Go to app.alpineclubofcanada.ca and use the passwordless sign-in option — a sign-in link will be emailed to you.

For more options (Google sign-in, troubleshooting), see How to Access the Member Portal.

2. Sign your ACC waiver

You'll be prompted to sign the ACC Waiver (Release of Liability) the first time you log in. The waiver is required to register for any activities. See The ACC Waiver Requirement.

3. Choose a section

Most members add at least one local section to their membership. Sections organize trips, courses, and social events in your region. To add a section, go to Profile in the portal and click Add Section. See Section Memberships.

4. Find your membership card

Your membership card is in the portal under the Profile tab. Click Request Card to email yourself a PDF copy. You'll need it for partner discounts and at huts. See Finding Your Membership Card and Number.
