Calgary Weekend Hikers - How You Can Help

NEW - How Can You Help

The Calgary Weekend Hikers (CWH) is a club run fully by volunteers. The importance of volunteer support from the club members cannot be overestimated – they are the life blood and core essence of our richness, diversity and longevity of the club.

When you become a volunteer not only are you giving back to the club but you will also learn from the knowledge and skills of those seasoned veterans and mentors of which the club has many. You will also be able to get to know other club members and possibly develop friendships beyond the hiking trail.

The CWH Club is always looking for volunteers to lend a hand in one of many capacities. The club offers a variety of opportunities to help from a one night commitment to a year. You can assist with:
