Meet the Saskatchewan Section Executive
Don Chodzicki joined the Alpine Club of Canada in 2006 with a desire to
meet people who enjoyed the outdoors as much as he did and to learn more
about mountain activities in general. Don's first Sask Section
activity was volunteering for the 12hr Prairie Pitch Adventure Race.
Other adventures include Ice Climbing in Nordegg, AB, Rock Climbing near
Canmore, spending 6 days in an Alpine hut in Yoho National Park during a
Mountaineering trip, attending Wilderness First-Aid and Avalanche
awareness training, attending speaking and slideshow engagements regarding
club members recent adventures and attending and volunteering at the Banff
Mountain Film Festival. |
Jeff Dmytrowich has been an Alpine Club of Canada Saskatchewan Section member since 2005 and it was initially the Prairie Pitch Adventure Race that got him involved with the section. Jeff has always been involved in outdoor pursuits since a young age but through National and Section camps the scope of his pursuits now includes mixed and ice climbing in the winter plus hiking, scrambling, mountaineering and mountain running in the summer. When he's not heading towards to the mountains he works as a critical care respiratory therapist at Royal University Hospital. |
Dave McCormick joined the fledgling SK Section back in about 1995 and was rapidly initiated into the thrills of rock and ice climbing in the Rockies and learning the joys of quick weekend trips to the mountains from Saskatoon. Over the years, he's been on the Section Executive in several capacities but has had most of his fun leading glacier traverses, scrambles and mountaineering camps for the SK Section and volunteering on ACC hut work parties and National Camps. He was able to retire from the slog of daily employment in 2004, promptly moved to the West Kootenays of BC and now spends his time traveling, working on the estate, learning how to ski and having fun in the mountains.

Joel Bruneau was born and raised in the NWT so always enjoyed
close access to wilderness and natural spaces. His dad and three older
brothers taught him to make camp, cut fire wood, start fires, clean fish, shoot a rifle, and canoe
before he was 8. Turns out they were lazy. |
