2006 List

"Best Employers have determined what works best for their particular organization."

Organizations on the list come in different sizes, from different industries, from all across Canada - in 2006, 24 from Ontario, 14 from Western Canada, seven from Quebec, one from Nova Scotia, and one represents a consortium of five companies from across Canada.

A number following the organization's name indicates the number of years that it has made it onto the Best Employers in Canada list. Thirty-seven organizations on this year's list appear on previous years' lists.
