How to Stay in the Loop with the ACA!
Hey ACA Community,
We're a volunteer-run organization, and we work hard to keep everyone informed about competitions, news, and updates.
To make sure you get the right info at the right time, here’s a simple guide to how we communicate and how you can stay connected.
1. Your Registration Email (The MUST READ Channel)
When you register as a member or for an event on 2mev.com, the email you provide becomes our official way to contact you directly.
What We Use It For: This is for critical, time-sensitive information that applies directly to you.
What You Need To Do:
✅ Provide an accurate email you check often.
✅ Review and update your 2mev.com member profile to keep the info up to date.
✅ DO NOT unsubscribe from this list. If you do, you will miss essential information about events you are registered for.
✅ Add us to your safe senders list so our emails don't go to junk mail.
Bottom Line: This email is our direct line to you for things you absolutely need to know about your membership and events.
2. The ACA Website: albertaclimbing.org (The Source of Truth)
Our website is the central hub for all information. If you're looking for information, start here.
What We Use It For: The website hosts the official Event Schedule and a News section. Every event has its own page, which we update with details like formats, specific schedules, and location info as they are confirmed.
What You Need To Do:
✅ Check the website first for general questions.
✅ Bookmark the Event Schedule page and check the specific page for your competition regularly for the latest updates.
✅ Subscribe to the mailing list on our website to get general ACA updates.
Bottom Line: The website is the single source of truth. Information on other platforms will always link back here.
3. Discord and Social Media (For Quick Updates & Reminders)
We use Instagram, Facebook and our new Discord server to make sure our news reaches you wherever you are.
What We Use It For: We cross-post all news and announcements from our website to these platforms. Our Discord server also has special channels for event-specific, real-time updates.
What You Need To Do:
✅ Join our Discord Server for instant notifications and real-time competition updates (you can customize what you see!).
Download the Discord app.
Join the ACA Discord Server.
Read the Welcome & Rules channel, then browse the rest of the server channels.
✅ Optional - Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for community news and reminders.
✅ Remember these are for convenience. Always click the link to the website for the full story.
Bottom Line: These channels are great for staying on top of news, but the website always has the most complete information.
In a Nutshell: Your Quick Guide
For Official Info (like your competition schedule): Check your Registration Email.
