Canadian Business Hall of Fame
Impact Report

Thank you from our President & CEO

On behalf of all of us at JA Canada, thank you for your invaluable support of the 2025 Canadian Business Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Celebration held on May 22. Your presence and partnership helped make this a truly remarkable evening – one that celebrated excellence, inspired leadership, and united a community committed to shaping Canada’s future.

This year, four extraordinary Companions were inducted: Ryan Beedie, O.B.C., C.B.H.F., Jacynthe Côté, F.ICD, C.B.H.F., Pierre Lassonde, O.C., GOQ, C.B.H.F., and Larry Tanenbaum, O.C., Hon. LLD, C.B.H.F. These visionary leaders have each made transformational contributions to their industries, communities, and our country at large. Their achievements reflect the values of innovation, resilience, and purpose-driven leadership – marks of Canadian excellence on the global stage.

Your support as a sponsor is more than a contribution, it’s an investment in the next generation of business leaders. Thanks to your generosity, JA Canada continues to deliver high-impact learning experiences to young people across the country. With over 500,000 youth engaged in financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship programs, we are empowering a new wave of leaders with the skills, confidence, and mindset to succeed in business and in life.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership, and we look forward to building on this shared success together. Please mark your calendar for our 2026 Canadian Business Hall of Fame Celebration on May 28, where we will once again honour Canada’s most inspiring business leaders and the young talent they help to inspire.
