Judged categories

Our panel of judges has carefully selected 15 small businesses who embody this year's contest categories as finalists in the 2023 Tales of Triumph contest.

Meet the finalists

Customer Connection

We’re recognizing small businesses that thoughtfully tailor each interaction with their customers. Whether through their marketing, physical or online store, packaging or overall experience – these small businesses succeed by building valued and lasting customer connections.

Doing Good

We’re recognizing businesses who know that doing good is good for business. They don’t just support their customers – these businesses offer sustainable solutions to the most pressing challenges of our time, contributing to healthier communities and a stronger Canada for all.

Rising Stars

We’re recognizing businesses that have launched in the last two years and are on the rise. Some are online and some are brick and mortar, but all of these businesses have carved out their own place in the small business universe.

We have two categories which involve voting. The voting period is now closed for the 2023 contest.
