The
Enterprising Family of the
Year Award
Since 1986, the National FEYA has celebrated the achievements of Canadian family businesses and their significant contributions to both their local communities and the national economy.
This year, we’re thrilled to introduce four new categories of awards and to continue the original tradition of the FEYA within the Enterprising Family of the Year Award. This award is the highest honour that Family Enterprise Canada bestows each year and is the capstone event of the FEYAs.
If you are connected to or know an enterprising family that deserves to be recognized, please take a few moments nominate them — you could even win a prize for your nomination!

Families also commission shorter companion videos for company websites, anniversaries, events, social media, and more.
