Each year Microsoft hosts the Microsoft Canada Impact Awards which recognize those partners who have created innovative solutions leveraging Microsoft products, services and technology, and drove exceptional customer excellence.  

This year Microsoft received more nominations than ever before, highlighting our partner’s incredible stories of customer impact and transformation. Through the metric-based awards, Microsoft also evaluated partners driving impact and growth with Microsoft. We were inspired by the stories and amazed by the incredible results from this past year.

Thank you to all the finalists for your innovation within our Canadian partner community, your partnership with Microsoft Canada, and all that you do for our customers.

Congratulations again to all the finalists and a thank you to everyone who took the time to submit their stories this year.  I look forward to unveiling the Microsoft Canada Impact Award winners at our Canadian Session & Awards Celebration on July 15, 2021, at 1:30-2:00PM ET at Microsoft Inspire.
