OCA Member Club Assistance Fund
In 2003, the Ontario Curling Association established a fund called the OCA MEMBER CLUB ASSISTANCE FUND (OCA MCAF) as a vehicle to lend money to affiliated curling clubs so that the clubs can renovate or refurbish their premises. The OCA MCAF was established in response to the need for curling clubs to undertake capital projects that would not be eligible under other existing Ontario programs.
Please view the following three documents, in pdf format, for information, application form, bylaw, and loan agreeement for this fund.
