Acadia is a popular community located in the beautiful southeast quadrant of Calgary.

First annexed to the city in 1956, this community wasn’t actually developed until 1960. This is when it began growing in the diverse neighbourhood it is today, encompassing residential, commercial, and recreational land.

The Acadia Recreation Complex (ARC) also offers a fun place to hang out, as it's equipped with curling sheets, squash and racquetball courts, an indoor hockey rink, and meeting/conference rooms for after-school clubs.

The Acadia Community Association is the soul of Acadia as it’s responsible for promoting a healthy community by engaging residents to get to know each other through social and recreational events. They host things like book clubs for teens, spring clean-up for families, skate parties, winter carnivals, geoscience festivals, and safety courses.
