Now I hope with a more Regionalized operation plan we can make the ACCW the best Canadian Promotion of all time.” – Martin Hughes

The ACCW has declared the Atlantic provinces as it’s territory of Operations, and will run shows throughout Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and parts of Eastern Quebec.
