The Saskatchewan Section always needs trip leaders. If you have a favorite trip, have taken (or want to take) a mountain leadership course and would like to introduce others to an activity or area in the mountains, please contact us.

Note: as of May 2004, the SK Section will reimburse trip leaders any costs incurred by them while leading Section trips. Leaders must apply for reimbursement within 2 months of the completion of the trip. In addition, it is ACC practice to provide the first 2 nights at no cost for trip leaders on any Section trip that uses ACC huts.
