2025 CanadianCIO of the Year Awards – Celebrating Canada’s Top Technology Leaders
Written by
CIO Association of Canada
National awards spotlight innovation, leadership, and impact across Canada’s digital economy
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / Canada’s leading technology executives will be recognized this month at the 2025 CanadianCIO of the Year Awards, honouring the CIOs and CISOs driving transformation and resilience across the country.
This long-standing national event celebrates the people whose leadership is shaping Canada’s innovation landscape and strengthening the systems that power its economy. From modernizing public services to scaling global businesses, technology leaders are turning complex challenges into opportunities for progress.
Hosted by the CIO Association of Canada (CIOCAN), the awards return on October 22, 2025, continuing a national tradition that highlights the vision, strategy, and collaboration behind the country’s most impactful digital transformations.
“Technology leaders are behind some of the most important changes happening in Canada today,” says Shaun Guthrie, President and Chair of CIOCAN. “These awards highlight the people who make innovation real in their organizations and who are helping to build a stronger, smarter digital future.”
First launched by Fawn Annan and Jim Love during their time with IT World Canada (ITWC), the CanadianCIO of the Year Awards have celebrated excellence in technology leadership for more than a decade. Now, under a renewed partnership with Jim Love and Tech News Day, CIOCAN is reigniting that legacy with a fresh focus and expanded reach.
Behind every major shift in how Canadians live, work, and do business are technology leaders whose decisions shape the country’s progress. They are not politicians or public figures. They are the CIOs and CISOs modernizing public systems, scaling global businesses, protecting infrastructure, and guiding transformation at every level of society.
Their work is strategic, their decisions carry national impact, and their leadership deserves recognition on a national stage.
