Coming up are TV personality Theresa Caputo (the Long Island Medium), rocker Meat Loaf, the musical Mamma Mia!, punk pop band Blink-182, and Celtic Thunder Legacy.

Located at 33800 King Rd., near the University of the Fraser Valley, the AC is also home to local leagues, including the Abbotsford Minor Hockey Association, Abbotsford Female
Hockey Association, and the Abbotsford Centre Hockey League, an adult recreational league.
