Our Story
The Society of Asexuals and Aromantics of Alberta (SAAA) is dedicated to creating connections, increasing a-spec representation, providing educational resources, and advocating for awareness of issues that impact Albertan a-specs, both within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and the public at large. To date, we are the only society in Canada focused on advocacy for the a-spec community, and are driven to ensure the work we do in Alberta has broader impact across the country.
​
We were originally founded in 2014 as the “Calgary Aces and Aros” but soon expanded to other cities across the province, officially changing our name & becoming a registered society in 2020. Our members come from a wide variety of backgrounds and regions, and find community through similar experiences as asexual and aromantic people.
Our Board of Directors
SAAA’s Board of Directors is elected on a yearly basis at the Annual General Meeting. Our board members tend to be fairly active at events and are invested in getting to know the community; feel free to approach them or say “hi”! If you have questions or wish to connect with a specific board member, please email abacesandaros@gmail.com.
