Thank you from our President & CEO

On behalf of everyone at JA Canada, thank you for your valued support of the 2026 Canadian Business Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Celebration. Your partnership helped make this year’s event a memorable evening – one that celebrated achievement, recognized exceptional leadership, and brought together a community committed to shaping Canada’s future.

We were honoured to welcome an outstanding group of 2026 Companions into the Canadian Business Hall of Fame: Anthony von Mandl, O.C., O.B.C., C.B.H.F.; Chief Terry Paul, O.C., C.B.H.F.; Hartley T. Richardson, LVO, O.C., O.M., LL.D., C.B.H.F.; Carolyn A. Hursh, B.S.W., M.S.W., C.B.H.F.; and Sam, Ojus, and Tejus Ajmera, C.B.H.F. Together, their accomplishments, leadership, and commitment to community serve as an inspiration to Canadians across the country.

Your sponsorship is more than a contribution, it is an investment in Canada’s future. Thanks to partners like you, JA Canada delivers more than 500,000 youth learning experiences annually, helping young people build financial health, develop work-ready skills, and cultivate the entrepreneurial mindset needed to shape a stronger Canada.

Thank you for making these transformative learning experiences possible. We are grateful for your partnership and look forward to continuing this important work together.

Please save the date for the 2027 Canadian Business Hall of Fame Celebration on May 27, as we once again gather to honour Canada’s most inspiring business leaders and the young people they motivate to dream bigger and achieve more.
