Since 1955, the Sign Association of Canada (SAC-ACE) has
successfully promoted the welfare of the sign industry,
improved the status of its members in the community, and
benefited the users of signs. And while traditional boundaries
of the sign industry have expanded due to the rapidly
changing level of technology and the evolution of the com-
mercial marketplace, the association has recognized these
trends and partnered with related industries and sectors that
use, design and manufacture commercial images – all for the
benefit of its members. SAC-ACE has also evolved dramatic-
ally over the past 5 years by adding new value-added member
service programs, developing additional accredited training
courses, and talking a highly proactive approach in dealing
with governmental and regulatory issues.
