    Since 1956, the Alberta Capital Finance Authority (ACFA), originally the Alberta Municipal Financing Corporation (AMFC), has contributed to the progress and growth of communities throughout Alberta. "Last year we celebrated Alberta's centennial and that was a very special time for Albertans," said Terry Stroich, the Authority's President. "ACFA's 50th Anniversary this year is also an important event, since the Authority has played such a vital role in helping to build the province."

December 2005:

The following appendices in the ACFA Borrowing Manual have been replaced by interactive programs to assist municipalities:

• Debt Limit Worksheet (DLW) - replaces Appendix C in the Borrowing Manual.  Municipalities can now complete and save debt limit information on all loan applications to ACFA.
• Loan Calculator- replaces Appendix K (Annual Payment Amortization Table) in the Borrowing Manual.  Borrowers can use this loan calculator to determine loan payments.  In addition a repayment schedule is provided.
• Click here to go to the Main Index for both of these new features.  Please read the instructions, accessible from the index page, before using the DLW or Loan Calculator.
• For those who would rather print the DLW or view the Annual Payment Amortization Table, they are still available from the Borrowing Manual Index.

The following borrowing by-law formats may be used for by-laws passed after January 1, 2004 related to the new ACFA Lending Policy.  We have included a "sample" by-law as well as a "clean" by-law for each by-law format listed.  These are in MS Word format and will open in a separate window.

• Borrow By-law General ("sample")
• Borrow By-law General ("clean")
