What is ACE?

ACE is a national charitable organization that is teaching and igniting young Canadians to create brighter futures for themselves and their communities. Working in partnership with business and higher education, ACE delivers experience-based programming that allows university and college students to move beyond the traditional path of post-secondary education. These students are challenged to address economic, social and environmental issues in their own entrepreneurial ventures and in their communities.

ACE currently delivers two programs on over 50 university and college campuses across Canada with the involvement of over 1,700 student leaders and student entrepreneurs.

For the past six years SIFE Laurier has been running programs and competing in the national ACE competition. Laurier participates in one of the two programs ACE offers, SIFE, where Universities across Canada organize teams to compete at the national ACE competition to present the impacts of the programs that were implemented by each University team. To streamline the message SIFE Laurier now recognizes the benefit of positioning itself as part of the international SIFE network. The organization will continue to develop programs that promote entrepreneurship, independence, and create economic opportunity.
