Sackville Community Development Association (SCDA) is comprised of a group of volunteers whose objective is to help make Sackville a better place to live.

In order to achieve this goal, a group came together in 1997 and recommended, among other things, to create a community celebration for Canada Day to try and boost community spirit and pride. Patriot Days was born. This multi-day celebration has now grown to include a fishing derby, tiny tots picnic, baseball tournaments, fireworks and a Canada Day parade, which has attracted more participants and spectators every year. In past years we have also hosted Citizenship courts, where new Canadians are sworn in and welcomed to Canada.

While Patriot Days is a main focus of the SCDA, it is not the only one.

The rosebush campaign is another ongoing project with an additional 400 feet of rosebushes having been planted this past spring. The intention of this project is to beautify the entrance to Sackville and is a major undertaking. We also host an annual Octoberfest dance in the fall.

The main source of SCDA funding comes from membership fees collected annually. The association operates under a Board of Directors, however, as with many organizations, we rely heavily on volunteers to support and achieve our goals. Along this line, if you would like to become a member or are interested in helping out with any of our community projects, please fill out our membership form, which can be obtained online.
