The Ottawa Business Journal celebrated the launch of its 2026 Book of Lists at the Ottawa Art Gallery, drawing local executives and community partners.

The 2026 edition of the Book of Lists features ranked industry lists, executive profiles, procurement data, and economic insights, and is considered a key reference for the region’s business community. Guests at the event were among the first to receive copies of the new publication.

The evening was presented by Commissionaires Ottawa, with support from TD Canada Trust and Sezlik.com. Attendees networked over cocktails and gourmet hors d’oeuvres while exploring demonstrations and displays highlighting physical, electronic, and cybersecurity services. The annual launch has become a staple of Ottawa’s business calendar, spotlighting the companies and leaders shaping the local economy. Local artist Fall Down G painted a live mural live and Wallack’s Art Supplies held an art participation project.
