Prairies Camera Club Alliance (PCCA)

IACC Representative and PCCA Lead: Steve Ricketts

The PCCA is an informal group of Prairies camera and photography clubs. It's similar to groups set up in BC & Yukon and Ontario. We currently have 18 clubs representing ~1,300 members.

1. Bow Valley Camera Club
2. Calgary Photographic Art Society
3. Camrose Camera Club
4. Central Alberta Photo Society (Red Deer)
5. Cochrane Camera Club
6. Edson Photography Club
7. FLC Seniors Camera Club (Calgary)
8. Foothills Camera Club (Calgary)
9. Grande Prairie Photography Club
10. Image Seekers Photographic Club (Olds)
11. Images Alberta Camera Club (Edmonton)
12. Lethbridge Photo Club
13. Manitoba Camera Club
14. Medicine Hat Photo Club
15. Prairie Region of Photographic Arts
16. Saskatoon Photography Club
17. St Albert Photo Club
18. Turner Valley Oilfields Camera Club

We collaborate on several activities, such as:

1. sponsoring 2-3 major speakers, people who because of their skill and experience command a higher fee than what most clubs can cover by themselves
2. ​sharing best practices on how to run a club
3. sharing info on speakers and judges
4. ​hosting an in-person get-together or outing

Fees for being part of the PCCA are $1.50/club member. 

​If your club is interested in knowing more about the PCCA, please reach out to Steve Ricketts.
