ONE OF 2014’s BEST
MANAGED COMPANIES
But one of the company’s crowning mo-
ments was realized this March when Mi-
nard’s LeisureWorld joined the prestigious
list of Canada’s Best Managed Companies
for 2014. Sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC,
the National Post, Queen’s School of Busi-
ness and MacKay CEO forums, the annual
awards recognize excellence in Canadian
owned and managed companies. Busi-
nesses that make the list go through a
rigorous evaluation process that looks at
their management skills and practices, vy-
ing for a place on one of five levels. This is
the first year Minard’s has been named a
Best Managed company, joining 49 other
inaugural businesses for 2014.
The designation adds value to the compa-
ny, Susan explained, and fosters a sense
of confidence and pride among their em-
ployees. “It’s their hard work that got us to
where we are and it will hopefully attract
new employees in the future,” she said.
The process encouraged Susan and Gene
to take a hard look at all of their companies
