It’s important to make a big deal out of your employees’ ideas, as it only takes one to set your business apart from the competition. Nominees of the Innovator Award should be employees who have come up with an idea (or several ideas) that have helped propel your business to new heights this year.
Winners!

Why Not A Scholarship?
Nominees are employees that:
- are looking to continue their education, whether it is college, a trade school, training course, CSL license, etc.
- are part of/support a local social enrichment, education or health initiative, and will donate these allocated funds to that organization
This employee also goes above and beyond to help others and is a role model for their peers. A bonus: if they help give back to their community through volunteering, fundraising bringing awareness to causes close to their hearts.
Recipients:
Eoin Gallagher, Fat Cousins. Eric Lebreault, re:fab. Jenna Matheson, DogTowne. Presented by Brooke Moura, Why Not A Pear.
Partner of the Year Award
Partner of the Year nominees are trusted vendors that support your business ventures/initiatives, have great customer-service, collaborate with you on projects/ideas and continue to find ways to work together for mutual benefit. As a result of your committed partnership, each of your businesses has had great success this year.

The Manny Award
If an employee has gone out of their way to help others and is always willing to give 110% at work, you can celebrate their can-do attitude with an above-and-beyond award, The Manny Award. Going the extra mile, while maintaining other commitments, isn’t easy and the employees who manage this should be celebrated.
Nominees:
