MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Mark May 4 - 6, 2026 in your calendars!

 

The Alberta Community Crime Prevention Association's (ACCPA) annual conference is happening May 4 - 6, 2026 in Calgary!

 

Our theme for our 2026 conference is “United for Change: Strengthening Partnerships for Long-Term Community Safety and

we’re busy putting together a program that addresses community safety issues for delegates in Alberta communities, in these rapidly changing times.

 

The Planning Committee is driven to seek out dynamic speakers who understand the various avenues that lead to safe, healthy and family-friendly communities. This conference is the highlight of the year for us, and we work hard to ensure delegates go home with something they can implement and tailor in their communities, whether it’s a large urban centre or a small town in Alberta. The committee also looks to ensure our delegates enjoy insightful and relevant information from the presentations.

 

It is also a great opportunity to network and connect with the many diverse attendees.

 

ACCPA membership comprises urban, rural, remote rural, indigenous, Metis Settlement and diverse cultures as well as representation from law enforcement, municipalities, agencies, government agencies, and community groups. As always, the annual conference will feature two streams of presentations that will be of interest to all who attend.

 

We look forward to seeing you in Calgary in May!

 

Orren Ford

President, Alberta Community Crime Prevention Association
