The ACB is the cost of the shares. If your company allowed you to purchase the shares at a discount, then their portion would have been included on your T4 as a taxable benefit, so the ACB would be the purchase price (your portion + employer portion). The only way to track how much it is, is to log in to your investment account and look at every purchase made on your behalf.
