Become a Member
If you climb outside, please consider becoming a member. Both our organization and community find strength in numbers — the more members we have united with us, the more credible we become.
By uniting together, the voice of our climbing community is better heard when negotiating climbing access plans with landowners, managers, authorities, and our corporate sponsors.
Lifetime memberships are only $5. Your $5 helps us with administrative costs and helps fund annual events like the Beaver Valley Climbing Festival, Crag Stewardship Day at Conservation Halton, access projects and ongoing OAC programming.

Our Current OpportunitiesDonate
If you don’t have time to donate to our volunteer initiatives, we are happy to take your cold hard cash. Your contribution supports administrative costs and special projects including previous projects such as the reopening of Niagara Glen or the purchase of Old Baldy.
*Please note that we are not presently a registered charity, so we cannot provide tax receipts for donations to the organization.
Donate to the OACOAC Approved
In 2016, the OAC launched a program called “OAC Approved”. This program gives you peace of mind that your climbing-related activities are access-positive.
Look for our “OAC Seal of Approval” to show you what events, products, and guidebooks have been developed with access in mind.
OAC Seal of ApprovalLet us know about local access issues
Is your local crag closed? Do you know about land that has potential to be formally developed as a climbing area? Are there potential access issues arising in your area?
Keep us in the know, we may be able to help! E-mail us at info@ontarioallianceofclimbers.ca.
