Tom is a 27-year member of the Calgary Section. He is an avid mountaineer, BC skier and a marginal rock climber. He we the section secretary for a year in the early 2000’s and then was Ski Chair for several years before focusing on raising a family. In his work life, he is a professional engineer and project manager who has found his dream job building renewable power systems and mountain huts for the ACC.

His presentation in his own words:
It has been a while since the ACC built a new hut. I will be giving the members an update on the building of the new Castle Hut and telling the story on how that finally came together.

I will also discuss the status of the Robson Pass Cabin and talk about the cabin design and our planned timelines for that to be complete and available for our members.

Time allowing, I will also talk about the hut projects that we have planned for the next 5 years.
