Hello Neighbours,
Happy October! We’re starting to feel the cold nips and the frosty air. With the season comes a slew of winter fun and activities ahead. So, dress warm and mark your calendars!
AGM Recap
We are grateful to all ACA members and residents who attended the AGM in September. We were pleased to establish a quorum which allowed us to proceed with our meeting agenda. We elected new executives and board directors. We voted to accept the new brand for the Acadia Community Association. We also received reports for the previous years’ activities. We hope you got to learn about the exciting initiatives happening at the ACA this year and took the opportunity to network with your fellow community members. Keep an eye out on our website for the highlights of the annual reports presented at the AGM.

Your ACA will be hosting another popular evening workshop with Chalk Couture in the ARC Social Lounge on Thursday, October 5. Come out from 6:30 to 9:00 pm to create a DIY custom craft project using Chalkogy ink and paste.

ACA Social Night
November 9
We had another great evening at September’s Social Night connecting with all of you who attended. Seeing the familiar faces of our longtime residents and those of you who are new to the community is what these events are for. Don’t forget to make it to the next one on Thursday, November 9! Like always, there will be refreshments, snacks, board games, and great conversation! Join us at the ARC Social Lounge from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
Casino Fundraiser: Volunteers Needed
The casino fundraiser event is our biggest fundraiser and is critical to the ACA to support the initiatives we have planned for the community of Acadia. We’re looking for volunteers who are able to help fill some casino positions on December 17 and 18 at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino! You’ll be well-trained, fed, and assisted in having some fun while getting to see something that you normally would not get to see! For additional information, please contact [email protected] or [email protected].
