Beyond Trails

Empowering Women in Outdoor Adventures

Beyond Trails Project

In partnership with Alpine Club of Canada, Beyond Trails aims to empower immigrant women to lead outdoor adventures, foster community, and share their love for nature – helping them thrive in a new country.

Through leadership development, six (6) immigrant women gain essential skills from certified guides and experienced trip leaders, preparing them to become outdoor ambassadors for their families and communities.

The project covers a total value of over $600 for each participant, which includes:
