Carolyne Stevens
Growing up out west, I developed a love for the outdoors through skiing, hiking, and exploring the mountains. Over the past few years, rock climbing has become a big part of my life, and I’ve taken several courses, including top rope and anchor building, sport lead climbing, and traditional climbing, to develop my skills and confidence. I’ve also ventured into ice climbing and enjoy continuing to learn and challenge myself. As a volunteer with the Alpine Club of Canada’s Thunder Bay Chapter, I’ve enjoyed helping out at community climb nights, connecting with other climbers, and encouraging people to get involved in the sport. I’m excited about the opportunity to take on the Membership Coordinator role, welcome new members, and help build a strong, inclusive, and active outdoor community.

Originally I planned to quit as Membership Coordinator, but with many changes in my life over the last five months, I now have the time to devote to this position. I am an active outdoor person in cycling, swimming, skiing and climbing. I am goal-oriented and focused. I have retired from teaching physical education and bring these background skills of organization & knowledge to continuing our local section’s development. We are fortunate with our Thunder Bay section, to have such a talented team of Directors. With this forward thinking, our section is on target for substantial growth. I want to apply my positive energy and responsible management to continue encouraging this development with our various initiatives; Femmes and Thems, Indigenous Youth and general student populations at high schools, college and university. I am thrilled to be considered as a candidate for Membership Coordinator.
