At Backcountry Learning, we have been fortunate in having the pleasure of working with the following organizations:
The ACMG has been the leading authority for all aspects of mountain guiding and instruction in Canada for over 50 years. They set the professional standards for mountain guides, alpine guides, ski guides, rock guides, climbing instructors, hiking guides and via ferrata guides.
Avalanche Canada is a non-government, not-for-profit organization dedicated to public avalanche safety. They coordinate and deliver avalanche awareness and education programs, provide curriculum and support to instructors of Avalanche Canada training programs, act as a central point-of-contact for avalanche information, and work closely with many different avalanche research projects, both at home and abroad.
