HOPEWELL HILL, NB - The team at 5295 Route 114 in Hopewell Hill has been quietly doing important work for years. Now, the rest of Albert County and beyond can find them a whole lot easier. The Albert Career Development Centre (ACDC), Caledonia Activity Place (CAP), the ACDC Aquaponics Social Enterprise, and the Canadian Mental Health Association-Albert Board have launched a new shared website, bringing all four organizations under one digital roof for the first time. The site is now live at https://myacdc.org/
"We've always been here," said Rhonda McKinley, Executive Director of ACDC. "Now people can actually find us. Whether someone is looking for employment support, a friendly place to spend a Wednesday morning, for volunteer opportunities or fresh locally grown produce, it's all right there."
The new website gives each organization its own voice while telling the bigger story of what's happening on the hill. Visitors can learn about ACDC's vocational training and employment support programs for adults facing barriers to work, explore the growing calendar of events at Caledonia Activity Place, discover the Aquaponics Social Enterprise, where brook trout and leafy greens share a very productive basement, and connect with the CMHA - Albert Board for mental health resources and supports serving the region.
Beverly Terris, Activity Director at Caledonia Activity Place, sees the website as an open invitation. "A lot of people in this community don't know we exist, and that's what we want to change. The Stitchers' Club, Crib afternoons, Bingo nights, paint days, there’s genuinely something here for everyone. This website gives us a way to get the word out and keep people in the loop."
The four organizations have shared an address for years, but the new website reflects something more intentional: a community hub model where employment support, mental health, social connection, and local food production all live together, because for the people they serve, those needs don't exist in isolation either.
The site was built by LACKEY.agency and is mobile-friendly and updated regularly with upcoming events, news, and program information.
