ACAA–Atlantic Colleges Athletic Association
The Nova Scotia College Conference came into existence during Centennial Year, May 1967. The charter colleges were: Nova Scotia Technical College, Halifax; University of Kings College, Halifax; Nova Scotia Teachers College, Truro; Xavier College, Sydney; Universite Ste. Anne, Church Point, and Nova Scotia Agricultural College, Truro.

In its origin, the Conference was known as the Nova Scotia Small College Conference. The major sports were soccer, hockey and basketball. Tournament competition in golf, volleyball, badminton, field hockey and cross-country had also formed a part of the Conference scheduling in the past.

Over the years the Conference has seen major changes with members, the association name, sport participation -ACAA and CCAA, and personnel. The present name "Atlantic Colleges Athletic Association" reflects our regional composition with four institutions from New Brunswick and five from Nova Scotia.
