Canadian Avalanche Centre Adopts New Name

Friday, October 3, 2014 @ 3:52 AM

Revelstoke, B.C. – The Canadian Avalanche Centre is starting a new decade of service with a new name and new logo.

Now called Avalanche Canada, the change was made, in part, to  make the  organization stand apart from others  says Executive Director Gilles Valade “We wanted to create a brand identity that is separate from the Canadian Avalanche Association, the organization that serves and supports professional avalanche workers in Canada.”

While the name and log may be new, Avalanche Canada will  provide  the  same service  and programs as it has in the past.

The website will not change, so  users can continue  to  visit www.avalanche.ca  for avalanche safety information.

Seems like an unnecessary expenditure.

Not only is this a waste of money, but the new name is less clear than the old one as to the nature of the organization. “Canadian Avalanche Centre” gives you a pretty good idea of what it does. “Avalanche Canada” could be a sports team or the Canadian subsidiary of a company named “Avalanche”.
