President’s Message

Hello and welcome to the CACC

The Calgary Academy of Chefs & Cooks has been an industry-respected institution for over 60 years. Founded in 1958, as the Calgary Academy of Chefs by Chef Einar Nielson, of the CP Hotel, now The Fairmount Palliser Hotel, the association became official in 1960. Moving on to 1963, the CAC was instrumental in the formation of the National association, Canadian Federation of Chefs de Cuisine, now the Culinary Federation.

Today, in our post-pandemic world, the CACC has revived as an association in this past year. As we work towards bringing our industry back to ‘normal’ levels of business, we as a professional association strive to continue our heritage as the local Calgary area, professional body for the culinary arts.

Our association is made up of local Chefs, Sous Chefs, cooks, Food industry sales representatives, retired Chefs, associates and even a few ‘Foodies’!

We invite you to peruse our website, check out upcoming events and contact any of our board members if you have any questions, would like to attend one of our meetings as a guest or are interested in becoming a member.

Thank You and we look forward to meeting you some day!
