The Alberta Chess Association assists clubs around the province in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like funding or equipment to start a new club, we prefer to receive a request in time for our annual budget meeting, which is held between November and January for the following year. Please keep a look out on the main page for information regarding upcoming meetings, or contact us<\/a> for more information. You are welcome to inquire at other times to see what the ACA has available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be eligible for equipment provisions, groups must have at least one designated ACA member. Membership<\/a> can be acquired through various member clubs or through the Chess Federation of Canada<\/a>, and should be turned in at least once a year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
