About The Acadia Community Association The Acadia Community Association (ACA) is a volunteer-led, nonprofit organization dedicated to building a connected, active, and welcoming neighbourhood in southeast Calgary. For decades, the ACA has supported community programs, recreation, events, and local initiatives that bring people together across all ages and stages of life.
