"The purpose and objectives of the Association of Consulting Archaeologists are to encourage and support the advancement of professionalism among consulting archaeologists operating within Canada."
The core objectives of the ACA include:
​a. the promotion of the preservation and study of archaeological heritage resources;
b. the establishment and maintenance of professionalism among consulting archaeologists;
c. the promotion of information distribution of an archaeological nature to the public;
d. the provision of a forum to allow the expression of concern among practicing archaeologists;
e. the promotion and assistance to other organizations involved in cultural resources management.

​The ACA meets these objectives through regular communication among its members and Alberta Culture & Tourism, functioning through its elected Executive and Board of Directors.
