Why take part?

Participating in the Private Business Growth Award offers value for all companies and organizations that get involved

Nominating a company for the Private Business Growth Award just makes good business sense. After all, business advisors, chambers, organizations and people that nominate deserving companies get more than gratitude. They also play a pivotal role in helping to shine a spotlight on our nation's leading private businesses. As well, they are included in our local award program celebrations, and have the opportunity to meet and network with some of Canada's most successful private business owners and business leaders.

Top 10 Finalists and the Private Business Growth Award winner have the chance to reap even more value from their participation, including raising company profile—across various channels—receiving external recognition and networking with other successful business owners at several high-profile events.

"It is an amazing soapbox for private companies like ours to stand on and tell our story to the world. It's given us tremendous exposure and great recognition as a company that is really growing and doing things."

Jason Castellan, CEO Skyline Group of Companies
(Honour Roll 2016)

2017 Winner, Rocky Mountaineer
