How do you measure success? Every business owner knows that behind each win, there’s a lot of hard work. Success is most often the result of planning, preparation, and careful execution.

But we also know that it’s worth it! Every day, tens of thousands of small business owners across Canada are living out their dream of going into business for themselves and creating the life they’ve always wanted.

The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) Awards Program was founded to recognize the hard work of those small business owners and the franchisors who helped create the pathway for them to own their own business.

In this special Excellence in Franchising issue, the Franchise Canada team highlights the winners of the 2026 CFA Awards—showcasing the passion and dedication that goes into success.

Hard work deserves recognition, and we hope that this Excellence in Franchising issue can inspire you with its stories of success. As you take your first steps along your franchising journey, Franchise Canada is here to cheer you on, and support your dream of small business ownership.
