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:
- Alpine Club of Canada Membership
- Access to ACMG Guides, trip leaders for mentorship, and information session speakers
- Climbing Training Program
- Lead Rock Climbing Course

The Participants
Ten (10) immigrant women from diverse cultural backgrounds will bring unique perspectives and experiences to this initiative.
The project participants represent the resilience and strength of individuals navigating the challenges of integration, and their journey reflects a commitment to building inclusive, vibrant relationships with the natural environment and those around them.
