Together We Can

Volunteering and serving the people of Sherwood Park for more than 50 years.

Who We Are

The Associated Commercial Travelers (ACT) of Sherwood Park was formed in 1973. As part of a group of ACT Councils in the Edmonton metropolitan region, they have helped take part in fundraising events such as talent shows, telethons, and the famous $100,000 Gold Brick raffle – a mainstay of Klondike Days for many years.

ACT members have contributed to significant impacts, in Edmonton (The ACT Centre in Rundle Park and Camp He Ho Ha) and in Sherwood Park (A Safe Place, Boys and Girls Clubs, Strathcona Food Bank, etc.)

We continue to volunteer our time and work to raise funds to support a variety of organizations that provide services to young people and their families and well as our own, Al Williams scholarship.

The Sherwood Park ACT has been in

Our members have decades of experience and know what it takes to successfully build better communities. We are happy to share that experience with anyone who shares this same goal.

Impact Stories

Peter Coutts - Finding A Purpose

Initially, I joined the Sherwood Park ACT to help my wife with her various volunteer efforts. I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much and it has given me a renewed purpose for my free time.

Gordon Holm - Being Part of Something Bigger

A good friend of mine first invited me to come to a meeting. I saw that ACT was active in the community and making Sherwood Park a better place to live. I knew I wanted to be a part of that.
