innovative and competitive in the global economy," says Nancy Hughes Anthony,
President and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. "By supporting this
program, we are recognizing those businesses that have successfully adopted e-business
activities, and we are demonstrating to others that e-business is good for their business."
The Canadian E-Business Leadership Program promotes successful implementations of
E-Business and Internet technology throughout Canada with various initiatives, seminars,
workshops, and an annual national awards program. The goal of the program is to foster
a strong e-business culture in Canada and especially addresses the needs of small and
medium enterprises (SMEs).
"Through the recognition of organizations that have positively and significantly impacted
their business with the Internet, we can set a standard for E-Business success," says Bob
Gardiner, President of E-Strategies International Inc., and operating manager of the
Canadian E-Business Leadership Program. "Illustrating and celebrating those successes
will also ensure more organizations, large and small, will adopt e-business tools and
techniques."
