History / Biographical
The Calgary Mountain Club (CMC) is Calgary's oldest mountaineering organization that is dedicated specifically to the furtherance of hard climbing objectives on significant peaks. These peaks are predominantly in the Canadian Rockies, but in many cases extend to significant mountain ranges throughout North America and Europe.
The CMC was founded in 1960 and is still an active club as of 2023. Chic Scott's publication, "History of the Calgary Mountain Club" (1988) provides a detailed summary of the club's early history.

Calgary Power changed its name to TransAlta Utilities in 1981. With a service area that had outgrown
Calgary decades earlier, the company's new name reflected its province-wide operation. By 1985,
TransAlta provided 81 percent of the province's electricity needs. TransAlta Utilities Corporation is the
largest investor-owned electric utility in Canada. TransAlta supplies electric energy to over 630,000
customers, which amounts to approximately 70 percent of Alberta's electricity consumption.
