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.

At the heart of our work is the Acadia Recreation Complex (ARC) - a multi-use community facility that hosts sports, programs, rentals, and events seven days a week. But the ARC is more than a building. It is a community hub driven by connection, service, and continuous improvement.

We are currently in an exciting period of growth and organizational renewal, focused on strengthening operations, improving systems, and building a supportive workplace culture.

Our lounge is evolving into a welcoming neighbourhood gathering space, and we’re looking for people who care about service, professionalism, and community.
