We outfit our members for every outdoor adventure: from climbing, hiking and camping to snow sports, water sports, cycling and yoga. But we offer more than products: we peddle passion. Regardless of a member’s level of activity or experience, we love to share our expertise and enthusiasm to connect people with quality products that inspire active outdoor lifestyles. If you want to know what it’s like working here, we also encourage each other to get moving. To get out the front door. Take the plunge. Try something new like riding in a Fondo, bouldering or paddle boarding. MEC is a place where ideas spark and a craving to play outside gets stoked.

Adventure Canada is a family-run travel company with more than thirty years’ experience specializing in small-ship cruises to the world’s more remote coastlines. We engage, educate, and entertain by connecting people to each other and the land through travel. We travel to the best places, with the best people, in the best way. Our pioneering approach to expedition cruises and small-group experiences emphasizes wildlife, culture, learning, and fun. By travelling with local experts, learned scholars, scientists, artists, and expedition specialists, we hope to help our clients open their minds and hearts. We know we’ve succeeded when our clients become ambassadors for the places we visit, the cultures we get to know, the animals and the environment we appreciate along the way—and the planet itself! We build our expedition team around the knowledge and experience of a team of culturalists, many of whom call the regions to which we travel their homes. With their guidance, we gain locals’ perspective while giving back to communities.
