Professional communicators from across Canada were recognized this month for outstanding work in communication management and skills with receipt of a Silver Leaf Award from the Canada West and East Regions of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC).

The esteemed Silver Leaf Awards recognize a strategic approach to communications programs conducted by professional communicators in more than forty categories, including brand communications, internal communications, writing, and issues management. Of the more than 110 entries submitted in 2015, 48 entrants were honoured with a Silver Leaf Award – 21 received an Award of Excellence and 27 an Award of Merit.
