2024 Education Rebate

One of the objectives of our club is to provide formal and informal opportunities for members to acquire skills in hiking, mountaineering, leadership, wilderness survival, and outdoor awareness.  We are investing in our membership by creating an Education Opportunity/Rebate program.  This is a limited opportunity for 2024. We believe that members gain confidence and enthusiasm when they develop strong skills. In turn, that enthusiasm will pour out on club trips. Whether you want to learn more about navigation, belaying, avalanche safety, lead climbing, or even kayaking, you can do so with the support of the Island Mountain Ramblers.

Conditions for Qualifying

1. Rebates are available to members starting in their second year.
2. Rebates are subject to the availability of funds in the education rebate budget on a first-come, first-serve basis. The 2024 budget is set at $1500.
3. For those with at least two consecutive years of membership, the individual member rebate is capped at $100 for trip leaders and $50 for members, annually.

 Limitations

• Rebates must be claimed for the year in which the course is scheduled;
• Events subsidized by the club do not qualify for further rebates. Please, enquire for further details.
