ACE Loans Fund
The City of Dawson Creek recognizes the value and importance of supporting the arts and culture sector within the community of Dawson Creek. Community Futures has been administering an Arts and Culture Events Loan on behalf of the City of Dawson Creek since 2005 and we would like to make this resource more readily available to individuals and arts groups. The Arts & Cultural Events Loans (ACE Loans) is a program designed to address the needs of individuals and organizations in Dawson Creek who want to host a revenue generating event but do not have the funding required for the start up expenses.
