Why Join?
10 Reasons why you should join the Sign Association of Canada
Industry Representation and Support
SAC-ACE believes in taking a proactive approach in defense of impending shifts in legislation, bylaw revisions and code restrictions be it at the national, provincial or municipal level.
In the last 12 months, SAC’s government and technical committees have been at the forefront of several issues concerning the industry. Whether it is the close working relationship we have formed with Environment Canada as a result of our input into the proposed restrictions on Mercury use and importation into Canada or it’s our leadership role in working with ESA, CSA and ULC on LED regulations, SAC has and continues to serve and uphold the interests of our industry.
Local issues are also taken very seriously by SAC. Our committees work very closely with our provincial chapters on proposed changes to municipal sign bylaws and provincial
corridor management policies.
Educational Programs and Accredited Training
SAC-ACE believes learning never stops and safe, sound business practices come as a result of educated decisions.
The Sign Association of Canada in partnership with the International Sign Association (ISA) and The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) has recently launched a boom/crane truck safety training course and is currently working on a national SSIT certification for electrical sign work that currently has been adopted by the Alberta and Atlantic Canada Chapters.
Workplace Safety Group has been a long standing partner with SAC providing everything from WHMIS training to assisting members in setting up policy practices in government regulated workplace safety programs.
SAC takes education seriously. It has recently formed a national education committee to identify and formulate accredited programs specifically tailored to meet our industry’s needs.

Membership may not be among your top priorities, given the number of responsibilities that you juggle on a daily basis. Then again why would anyone want to venture out on to their own without some kind
of support network that specifically serves the interests of their own industry?
By becoming a member of the Sign Association of Canada you will make valuable professional contacts and gain access to a wealth of useful information.
Networking opportunities. When you join SAC, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen existing business relationships and make new contacts on a regular basis. Such networking goes well beyond the exchange of business cards. As you attend various functions, become active on a committee perhaps or take a prominent leadership role, you’ll forge lasting ties with others who have common professional interests and similar business concerns. These relationships will be rich, ongoing sources of inspiration and ideas.
