The Significance of Our Name: "BIVOUAC"

The word "Bivouac" has its origins in the French language. It literally means a "mountain camp", and generally was used to describe a hidden observation post established in the mountains to warn locals of any invading enemy. Over time, it became a military term and finally evolved into a mountaineering term used to describe an overnight camp established during a climb or an expedition.

We are based in Alert Bay, B.C., at the North end of Vancouver Island. Our work is located mostly on the coastal mainland and Vancouver Island.
