IR Magazine Awards - Canada 2023 | IR Magazine | TBA

The IR Magazine Awards – Canada 2023 will take place on Wednesday, April 5 in Toronto. This very special event honors excellence in the investor relations profession across Canada and we are excited to welcome everyone for an evening of fine food and lots of celebrating!

Since the annual event first launched in 1996, tens of thousands of analysts and investors have voted in the surveys that fuels the awards. The result: vital benchmarking information on which companies do the best IR. In recent years, the awards program has expanded to recognize more aspects of an IRO’s role as we add new categories to the list and give IR teams the opportunity to nominate themselves.
