“These Awards are based on independent national public research, not by nominations, write-in efforts or a committee process. The results stem from consistent, positive behaviours of all front-line and backend teams supporting Canadians every day, in every town” said Jeff Munn, Executive Director of the Canada’s Most Respected award program.
Established in November 2020, the DART Insight and Communications (DART I&C) “Most Respected Corporation Program” recognizes and promotes Canadian business entities that excel in delivering respectful behaviours and practices to Canadian consumers.
