The recognition highlights employers in the Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan area based on criteria such as workplace environment, employee benefits, training and development opportunities and community involvement.

It is our employees' hard work and dedication that allows us to tackle our tough issues and deliver on our mission," said Drew Black, Chief Executive Officer of EFC. "You can feel the sense of community when you walk into our office, and I firmly believe our ability to work together is the key to our collective success. This honour is in recognition of our strong team and their many important contributions to our sector."
