The Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) is a non-government, not-for-profit corporation established in 2004 to serve as Canada’s national public avalanche safety organization. In the absence of any other federal or provincial agency with a mandate for this national public service role, a broad coalition of federal, provincial, private and not-for-profit sector stakeholders established the purposes of the CAC as the following:
To serve as Canada’s national public avalanche safety organization by:
· Coordinating public avalanche safety programming;
· Providing public avalanche safety warnings;
· Delivering public avalanche awareness and education;
· Providing avalanche training for non-professional winter recreation;
· Serving as point of contact for public, private and government avalanche information; and
· Encouraging avalanche research.
Support funding for CAC programming comes from the federal Department of Environment, the BC Provincial Emergency Program, Alberta Community Development, the Canadian Avalanche Foundation, and CAC funds from sponsorships and public donations. Date de dernière modification du dossier: 2005-08-31
