November/December 2021 Issue

The Excellence in Franchising Issue!

Get your copy of Franchise Canada magazine today!

Each year, the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) recognizes member brands that have excelled in the franchising community. The past year and a half has certainly put most franchise systems to the test for their ability to persevere and recover, as most businesses across Canada have experienced temporary closures and modifications from the COVID-19 pandemic. That makes these esteemed awards even more deserved for franchise systems and franchisees that have proven to be adaptable, innovative, and able to step up as great leaders in difficult times. The November/December 2021 issue of Franchise Canada congratulates the Franchisees of the Year, awarded in multiple categories for excellence in franchising. Throughout the rest of the issue, we provide a full list of the 2021 CFA award winners, and introduce you to the newest members that have joined the CFA this past year.
