Testimonials
Karina Singh
"Before joining I felt like a shell of a person, I knew I had impactful ideas but often swallowed them out of insecurity. ACE truly helped me find my voice and confidence, to be able to shed out all your biggest ideas is empowering. It has truly been an affirmation to what I can achieve post graduation and beyond. I met some of my closest friends and connections from all across Canada!"

"I’ve been competing in case competitions since high school, reaching the provincial level. This is my second year as a delegate for TRACE. Last year, I placed 1st in the marketing category at the Aspire conference and also competed at Nationals in the Sports & Entertainment category. Through these experiences, I’ve gained valuable skills in presenting."

No matter what year you’re in, I strongly encourage you to join TRACE this year and put your skills to the test."

"Choosing to compete in ACE was sincerely one of the best decisions I've made in my post-secondary career. Being able to compare my experiences at nationals from first year to now my fourth, I can look back, and see how much confidence I've gained, and how different of a person I am today."

"As a shy person, never have I ever thought I was capable of cutting a case confidently let alone win the first place provincially with my best friend. being a part of DECA got me out of my comfort zone and opened my eyes to my true potential. I learned how to think outside the box, problem solve, cooperate with a team member and most importantly I learned how to have fun doing it all. The skills I have gained and the friendships I have made through this exceptional student group will forever be carried with me. If you’re looking to develop your skills while creating unforgettable fun memories, DECA is the place to be."
Aswine Krish
"I was always a shy kid and I struggled to put myself out there. Through the delegate development (DD) sessions, I learned how to cut a case and had plenty of opportunities to put my acquired knowledge to practice. The DD sessions really helped me hone in on my presentation and quick thinking skills which ultimately boosted my confidence. I am forever grateful for the skills, memories, and connections I made through TRACE."
