OTTAWA’S 2022

o me, the Book of Lists is an anomaly. Launched in the late 1990s as a printed directory of local business, it remains one of Ottawa Business Journal’s most popular and in-demand special projects. At this time of year, OBJ is regularly asked: When is the new Book of Lists published? How can I get my hands on it? There is an eagerness around this project. Readers don’t want it, they need it. That gives the team at OBJ great satisfaction, especially given the enormity and complexity of creating the Book of Lists each year. So why is it an anomaly? Two reasons. First, you would think in this digital age – accelerated by the pandemic – that readers would believe that data contained in the Book of Lists is readily available at the click of a mouse. Wrong! As we like to say at OBJ, the Book of Lists remains a unique source of hard-to-access information on local companies, even in this age of Google. Second, somewhat related to above, in this digital age people still want a physical copy of the Book of Lists – a printed publication they can keep at arm’s length for quick reference. Don’t get me wrong: our readers consult the digital edition of the Book of Lists thousands of times. But the popularity of the printed directory is elevated by improvements to the Book of Lists over the past few years. Our editorial team now includes many fascinating features such as Who’s Who profiles, data on government contract wins and a local look at who made the province’s sunshine list. All of this makes the Book of Lists more than a business directory – it makes it a good read. Pick up a copy, lean back, enjoy and learn.

What’s in the Book of Lists

Credit where it’s due As mentioned above, the Book of Lists is a mammoth project. OBJ wants to first thank all of the companies and organizations that responded to requests for information. Much of the credit for this project belongs to Lisa Thibodeau from OBJ, who organized the research. She was supported this year by Liam Curran, who hounded countless companies for information. Interim editor Steve Ladurantaye led the creation of editorial features. Let’s not forget the OBJ design team and sales team. Kudos to them. Thank you to all the businesses who support the Book of Lists, particularly our cover sponsor, Commissionaires Ottawa. We could not do this without you. This publication is also available for purchase in a digital format, with our databases organized in an Excel file at OBJ.ca. Whether you prefer the print or digital edition, the Book of Lists is an invaluable business directory, buyer’s guide and research tool that will be a versatile resource for your organization throughout the year.

Michael Curran Publisher Ottawa Business Journal

On the following pages, readers will find detailed facts and figures on more than 600 companies, organized into dozens of economic sectors. This publication is divided into four chapters that focus on the city’s key economic sectors. As always, the rankings of the largest firms – broken down into more than two dozen industry categories – are the heart of the Book of Lists. The final chapter of the Book of Lists is a hodgepodge of interesting data such as largest government vendors and the biggest construction projects. Consult the table of contents for more information.

SECTOR

SNAPSHOT

BUSINESS SERVICES

usiness services can be a difficult sector to define. Encompassing any business that helps another business do its business, Ottawa’s scene includes everything from HR firms to mergers and acquisition law office. They may be tricky to define, but their effects on the economy are impossible to deny. That was more obvious than ever in 2021, as businesses continued to look for outside help to solve many of the thorny problems presented to them by the pandemic. The sector’s importance was underlined by the 2021 CEO of the Year, who was selected by OBJ and the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. Kathryn Tremblay, CEO of Ottawa-based staffing and recruitment agencies excelHR and Altis Recruitment, demonstrates how critical business services are to the city’s success. As pandemic-fuelled chaos swirled all around her business 18 months ago, she calmly stood in the eye of the storm. She plotted an organizational shift that was less about boosting revenues than it was about lifting spirits. Not that things were necessarily thriving at Tremblay's Ottawa-based staffing and recruitment agencies. With the global economy in a tailspin, the firms and their affiliated companies, Altis Technology and excelITR, were bleeding cash as the temporary workers they were paid to recruit were being jettisoned from their job sites by the hundreds. In a matter of weeks, 40 per cent of the companies' 2,000 placements were out of work. While that left a gaping hole in the excelHR network's balance sheet, finances weren't Tremblay's main worry. "You didn't have time to think," says the 54-year-old Orléans native. "For us, we went straight into the mode of, let's try to help as many Canadians work as possible. Let's not worry about the numbers; let's not worry about our losses. Our team members came together, almost like a rally cry, to show up for Canadians." What happened next won’t be found in most CEOs’ business recovery playbooks, but it is as much a part of Tremblay’s DNA as her thousand-watt smile. The veteran executive led a transformation that not only helped her clients overcome unprecedented economic and human resource challenges but also turned her own companies’ fortunes around, earning Tremblay the 2021 CEO of the Year Award from OBJ and the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. She joined a list of distinguished recipients that includes Kinaxis boss John Sicard, the 2020 honouree, and Telesat chief executive Dan Goldberg, who captured the trophy in 2019. Under Tremblay’s guidance, her companies launched a series of webinars zeroing in on topics that were suddenly top of mind to employees and managers across the country who were navigating an unprecedented crisis: mental wellness in

KATHRYN TREMBLAY the workplace, how to plan for an eventual return to the office, fostering a more inclusive work environment and more. Over the past year, the organization has hosted more than a dozen virtual seminars, which have been viewed by thousands of participants – including many of excelHR's competitors. Providing advice to your business rivals might seem counterproductive. But Tremblay, who has mentored hundreds of students and entrepreneurs in her three-decade career, has always believed that collaborating with her peers is the surest path to long-term success – for both her companies and the industry as a whole. "When I have an issue, I'm never afraid to pick up the phone," she says. "I'll (contact) anyone in my community and I'll say, 'What do you think about this issue and why did you handle it that way?' I'm not afraid to ask for advice. I love listening to other people's ideas, and I'm willing to champion those ideas if I think they're good ones." — David Sali

The unemployment rate has creeped steadily downward as the year progressed, with pandemic-related losses coming back online. Employers still found it hard to find workers, with some of the lowering unemployment rate attributable to more people opting out of the workforce.

Sabrina Fitzgerald National private leader and National Capital Region leader, PwC Canada “I love paying it forward to help others grow and expand,” Sabrina Fitzgerald explains. “I was fortunate enough to have — and still have — very strong mentors who’ve helped me along the way.” Fitzgerald says she couldn’t have found success without knowing her values and purpose. Her energy, she adds, comes from helping others find their passion and vision. Fitzgerald’s role at PwC is helping businesses solve problems by helping with continuity planning (like helping family businesses in the area of wealth transfer). “PwC’s purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems,” she says. “Ultimately, the goal is to help organizations build trust and deliver sustained outcomes.” And over the years, being part of a passionate team who lives its purpose has had a big impact on her personal success. “I am surrounded by a network of people who collaborate and all work together towards a common goal,” she says. “It’s important to live and lead by principles and values that are effective in leading and inspiring my team.” Staying curious, connected and innovative are necessary to remain on the trajectory of growth and success, she adds. “As a national leader for the private clients teams and managing partner for the Ottawa region, I have spent more than two decades understanding the business issues for owners and leaders of companies of all shapes and sizes,” she says. “Helping our teams and our clients evolve and grow in sustainable ways is my definition of success.”

Andrew Newman Ottawa office managing partner, KPMG Canada One of Andrew Newman’s proudest achievements was being KPMG’s recruiting partner for four years — a time when the company hired more women than men from at least 12 counties and 12 different educational backgrounds. “Nothing has contributed more to KPMG’s success than the diversity of our people,” he says. “To this end, our inclusion and diversity strategy focuses on three key pillars: equitable, resilient and fostering a mentally healthy team. We’ve remained one of Canada’s top employers 14 years in a row.” His role as office managing partner in the Ottawa-Kanata offices has him provide leadership to the audit, tax and advisory functions. Newman has more than 28 years experience in conducting financial audits, on top of advising on transaction, operations, controls and governance matters for his clients. For 10 years, he served as the national leader of the Canadian Education Practice and was KPMG Canada’s representative on the KPMG’s Global Centre of Excellence for Education. “'Keep learning and work as a team,’ is the advice I would have given to my younger self, when I had embarked on my professional career,” he says. “I joined the firm in 1992, after having received my B. Comm, Honours at Queen’s University. Since that time, I’ve come to appreciate the opportunities within KPMG for client service, development and career progression.” He says KPMG continues to be one of the best learning experiences of his life, especially when it comes to the success shared between colleagues and clients.

Warren Tomlin Office managing partner, EY Canada It’s all about reimagining and reinventing for EY’s Warren Tomlin. The office managing partner may have only joined EY Canada in 2017, but he has over 20 years’ experience delivering strategic consulting work with the goal to drive growth and inspire innovative new opportunities. His strategy is to understand an organization and then work with the company to build and execute a digital reinvention strategy. Before joining EY, Tomlin was also a global chief innovation officer for a world leading-technology firm, and he led an award-winning interactive digital agency. “When I think of the great opportunities I have been given, and reflect on the journey I have been on — one thing has been constant through all of it: building,” he says. “As a leader at EY, this means building solutions for clients, our teams that deliver them and — most importantly — building the careers of our individual contributors.” And it’s a strategy that has been working toward the company’s goal of building a better working world. “In 2022, as we all come out of such a challenging time, companies will modernize, transform and reinvent. We will be there to enable their evolution, while at the same time evolving ourselves,” he says. Tomlin holds a Master of Business Administration from Queen’s University School of Business and is a member of the CIO Strategy Council.

Finding your stride is easier with a great partner In business, as in life, the journey is made better by the relationships we build along the way. The reason to choose BDO isn’t our service offerings, though they are among the most extensive in our industry. It isn’t our resources, though they are among the broadest in the region. It isn’t that we possess experience working with virtually every business sector in Eastern Ontario, or that we offer the highest standards of technical excellence, though we do. Ultimately, the reason to choose BDO comes down to the relationships we build with our clients and communities. From Cornwall to Kanata, Vankleek Hill to Parliament Hill, ours is a business of people working with, for, and in the service of others. And when you think about it that way, client service becomes more than just client service; it becomes a firm-wide dedication to helping the people we serve succeed-whatever they need, wherever they are, however we can. And like a brisk morning skate on the Rideau Canal, a supportive friend and trusted partner can make the difference to achieve the great things that lie just around the corner.

2021

here is no question that Jim Taggart, long-time chairman of Taggart Group of Companies, is a successful and generous businessman in our community. A self-promoter he most definitely is not. Case in point: his natural reaction when asked about his 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award is to immediately deflect praise. “I’m just part of a family business and I’m the old guy, so I get the titles, but if there’s any award deserved, it’s deserved by the group,” Taggart, 79, said in a phone interview. Taggart is the eleventh recipient of the award, jointly presented by Ottawa Business Journal and the Ottawa Board of Trade (OBoT). The award, part of the Best Ottawa Business Awards, is presented to a businessperson who demonstrates long-term business success, innovation, perseverance, strong leadership and a legacy of community building. The selection process involves OBJ, OBoT and past recipients. Taggart Group’s roots date back to the 1940s, when founder Harold Taggart built a few dozen homes for returning war veterans and, recognizing an opportunity in servicing the land, went out and bought the biggest shovel he could find to start an infrastructure company. Seventy-three years later, Taggart Group is a major employer in the construction and real estate business in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. The group, which includes Taggart Construction, Doran Contractors, Tamarack Homes, Taggart Realty Management and Tartan Homes, now has second- and third-generation family members working together for the common good. Said Taggart: “My father put in place a plan for how he felt our company should evolve. I think it was a plan that made our family stick together and not go in different directions. It allowed everybody in the family to earn a decent living if they chose to stick with the family business.” The family is well known for its philanthropic support of Ottawa charities, having donated millions to local causes. The family has expanded through marriage to include the Parkes, and runs its own Taggart Parkes Foundation. In June 2021, for example, the foundation donated $1.4 million to a new south-end clubhouse for BCG Ottawa. “I’m proud of the fact that we try to run an honest, ethical business and that we try to give back to the community that we earn our living in,” said Taggart. Taggart was “a very obvious choice” for the award, said former Ottawa mayor Jim Durrell, who is one of the former recipients and helped with the selection process. “It’s an award, frankly, that we spend a lot of time thinking and talking about. It’s easy to be a flash in the pan, to be a success for a couple of years, but a Lifetime Achievement recipient is somebody who has made a contribution to the betterment of Ottawa for a

long period of time.” Taggart is what you might call a reluctant recipient. “He’s certainly not someone who likes to draw attention to himself,” said former award winner Roger Greenberg, executive chairman of the Minto Group. He explained how Taggart, due to his modest nature, needed to be encouraged by family members to accept the honour, as a way of celebrating the family business as a whole. Yet, Taggart is very deserving of the recognition, both for his family’s philanthropy and for his guidance of the company, Greenberg continued. “I do believe it’s the leader who sets the tone.” Former award recipient and retired construction chairwoman Shirley Westeinde sees Taggart Group as a positive example of a multigenerational familyowned business. “For them to all work together, and we know running any family business can be a challenge, I feel that the Taggarts are doing it quite well,” said Westeinde. “I know that Jim has played a major role in that.” Ian Sherman, chair of the Ottawa Board of Trade and consultant at EY, sponsor of the Lifetime Achievement Award, said the award underscores the importance of family businesses. "When an honouree such as Jim Taggart shares

it so genuinely with his family, it also serves to promote the indispensable role that family businesses play in the economy," said Sherman. “The award this year truly recognizes not only Jim’s lifetime of achievements, but also family business leadership that is multigenerational with excellence focused on a variety of business dimensions: unity of family, tradition, passion, purpose, values, society and commitment to community.” OBJ publisher Michael Curran said the Lifetime Achievement Award is a big part of the fall business celebration. “Along with recognition for the outstanding CEO, CFO and newsmaker, the Lifetime Achievement award is the biggest honour we can bestow on a local business leader,” said Curran. “In this case, we’re recognizing a family business that dates back almost three quarters of a century. Imagine that. It’s quite incredible to remain vibrant and relevant for that long.” Past recipients of Lifetime Achievement 2011: Jim Durrell 2012: John Kelly 2013: Wes Nicol 2014: Roger Greenberg 2015: Shirley Westeinde 2016: Michael Potter 2017: John Ruddy 2018: Gordon Reid 2019: Dr. Jack Kitts 2020: Rob Ashe

Housing starts

Ottawa’s real estate market posted an ever-increasing amount of sales in 2021 as buyers lined up (and often bid) on houses as soon as they were made available in a tight seller’s market.

Despite a supply chain crunch that saw key supplies delayed near the end of the year, the number of housing starts in Ottawa continued to increase at a steady pace.

REAL ESTATE

Nathan Smith

Senior vice-president, Cushman & Wakefield Nathan Smith has been with Cushman & Wakefield — formerly Royal LePage Commercial Inc. — in Ottawa for the past 30 years, and in that time he has transacted commercial real estate deals in excess of $2.5 billion. Cushman & Wakefield started as a small family business in New York more than 100 years ago. Over the years, the company expanded and now has about 400 offices in 60 countries, with 18 in Canada. Smith has focused exclusively on high-end commercial investment products in Canada’s capital, such as retail plazas, development land and apartment buildings. The senior vice-president is also the company’s youngest recipient of Cushman & Wakefield’s Award of Excellent for his consistent high sales performance. He’s also ranked in the national top 15 for the award 18 times and has been a member of the President’s Round Table since 1984.

Louis Karam

Managing director, CBRE Before Louis Karam became managing director at CBRE’s Ottawa office, a real estate company with more than 100,000 employees in more than 100 countries, he received his bachelors in electrical engineering with a speciality in telecommunications and his masters in industrial engineering from the Université de Montreal. Karam joined CBRE in 2011 and had previously led the company’s project management business in Eastern Canada. In June 2021, Louis was named senior vice-president and managing director of the Ottawa office. Before taking on his new role in Ottawa, he was the managing director of project management at the firm’s Montreal office. Earlier in his career, he was a project manager at engineering and construction company SNC-Lavalin for five years.

Warren Wilkinson

Managing director, Colliers International When Warren Wilkinson joined Colliers International in 2005, he would embark on a 10-year career as a leasing expert in the greater Ottawa area. He then made the transition from sales representative to the company’s managing director. Wilkinson credits loyalty and opportunity with getting him to where he is today. “Working for a global organization like Colliers exposed me to a wide range of possibilities that wouldn’t have been available elsewhere,” he says. “Getting recognized as someone that is devoted to a vision and mission put me in a position to challenge myself with new opportunities without sacrificing where I was.” The Ottawa native holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in law from Carleton University, where he graduated in 2000.

federal government’s plans for 37 million square feet of office space it owns and leases in the National Capital Region. While the region’s largest tenant has no secret about reducing the amount of space it plans to occupy in the coming years, Hamilton doesn’t think that will spell doom and gloom for local landlords. Many buildings in the feds’ own 19-million-square-foot portfolio are either nearing the end of their lifespans or are in dire need of costly overhauls, he notes, which could create new opportunities for other building owners as the feds seek new homes for workers. In addition, the government has suggested it might put aging, energy-inefficient properties such as L’Esplanade Laurier on the block in the near future, providing potential new avenues for redevelopment in the downtown core. “I think there are real opportunities there,” Hamilton adds. “I think L’Esplanade Laurier is the tip of the iceberg.” As the feds push to hit a target of 75 per cent of their leased properties being carbon-neutral before the decade is out, landlords need to act now to ensure their buildings are eco-friendly, he says. At the same time, owners of buildings with a mix of government and private-sector tenants will have to weigh whether pricey retrofits are worth it if it means passing on those costs to occupants that might balk at paying higher rents. “That discussion hasn’t happened yet, and it’s a discussion that has to happen,” Hamilton says. The feds have also suggested that how government office space will be parcelled out could change dramatically as a hybrid work world becomes the norm. Stéphan Déry, the assistant deputy minister for real or all those who believe Ottawa’s office towers likely invest more money in upgrading HVAC systems property services at Public Services and Procurement are destined to become nothing but hollowedand installing technology such as virus-killing UV Canada, said earlier this year he envisions a future out shells as the city emerges from the systems as they retool buildings for a post-pandemic where workers are no longer required to commute from pandemic, Mike Church has a pile of documents he’d world. “COVID has been an opportunity to reimagine the suburbs to central offices in the core. like to show you. everything.” Déry imagined a scenario in which the feds set up a “Office space is not dead,” says Church, the Shawn Hamilton, vice-president of business “network” of satellite offices across the country, where managing director of commercial real estate firm development at Canderel Group’s Ottawa office, is civil servants can drop in and share space closer to Avison Young’s Ottawa operations. equally bullish on the local office sector’s their homes in the suburbs.

From left, Noibu’s founders Kailin Noivo, Dan Cardamore, Filip Slatinac and Robert Boukine. Already named one of the capital’s fastest-growing companies earlier this year, Noibu added another honour to its impressive list of accomplishments in 2021: the title of Ottawa’s best workplace as chosen by its employees. The fledgling software firm topped this year’s Best Places to Work in Ottawa competition, an annual program organized by OBJ and the Ottawa Board of Trade. It had one thing in common with virtually every company to make the list it’s a tech company. Participants were ranked according to the results of employee questionnaires and surveys conducted by the U.S.-based Best Companies Group. Employees were asked to rate their workplaces’ performance in areas such as leadership and planning, corporate culture, job satisfaction, training and pay and benefits.

Noibu – which placed fourth on OBJ’s 2021 list of fastestgrowing companies with three-year revenue growth of 960 per cent – offers perks such as a $1,000 stipend to help employees set up home offices. In a bid to be as transparent as possible, the privately held company also hosts monthly town hall meetings where it shares its latest financial numbers and staff are free to air concerns or questions with management. Companies from across the region took part in the survey process. Eligible firms were required to be in business for at least a year as well as maintain an office and have a minimum of 15 employees in the National Capital Region. hile Noibu took the top slot, the other nine companies were not ranked individually.

Kyle Mac Dougall

President, Jam Filled Entertainment Thomas and Friends, DC Superhero Girls and Numb Chucks have entertained kids and families across Canada for years, but did you know the company that produces those cartoons started in Ottawa? It was 1993 when Kyle Mac Dougall, now president of Jam Filled Entertainment, first worked in the video game, advertising and television industries. He started out as an artist, eventually growing to become a producer, entrepreneur and — ultimately — a studio builder. Then in 2008, he joined forces with co-founders Jamie Leclaire and Phil Lafrance to open what is now known as Jam Filled Entertainment. Its first office opened in Manotick and was a fully-operational, multi-production animation company. “In the beginning, we wanted to start a studio that we would want to work for — a place that reflects and respects our values as people and artists,” Kyle says. “The abundance of talent and passion for the industry, as well as our deep personal roots, made Ottawa an ideal place for our studio to flourish and thrive.” Then in 2016, the company was purchased by Boat Rocker Media. Today, it acts as its animation division. Since then, Jam Filled has grown to one of the largest employers in the animation industry, with studios in Ottawa, Toronto and Halifax.

Rick Morrison

President, Big Jump Entertainment Did you know Ottawa is a hotbed for live action and animation? Meet one of those players in the booming industry: Rick Morrison of Big Jump Entertainment. Before Morrison — who has called Ottawa home since 1982 — became the president of the Ottawa-based animation studio Big Jump Entertainment, he had co-founded another animation studio called Funbag Animation Studios shortly after graduation. He attended Sheridan College in the 80s, where he received his degrees for animation, interactive technology, video graphics and special effects. Today, he heads the live action and a studio that employs about 70 people and is located in Heron Gate on Holly Lane at Walkley Road. As the executive producer, he has led more than 200 hours of proprietary animation projects. The animation company has worked for a long list of big international and national names in entertainment that include HBO, Netflix, CBC, Warner Bros., FOX, TVOkids, TFO, Sony Entertainment and more. Some of their projects include Raccoons, The Trailer Park Boys animated series, Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz animated series and F is his for Family. Jam Filled has also worked with other major content providers such as Netflix, Nickelodeon, Warner Bros. CBC and Disney.

Clint Eland

Founder and CEO, Mercury Filmworks For Clint Eland of Mercury Filmworks, success is making audiences feel something powerful by connecting them emotionally to the characters and stories created by his Ottawa-based studio. “If we can make kids and families laugh out loud, feel sad, joyous or inspire wonderment, then we are making a difference,” Eland says. Mercury Filmworks is an independent entertainment company that collaborates with partners across the globe to produce what it boasts as “world-class content.” The Ottawa-based company was originally founded by Eland in 1997, when he was living in Vancouver. Over the years, the studio has worked with other partners such as Disney, Netflix, Amazon Studios and Warner Bros. and produced works such as The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, Kid Cosmic, Centaurworld, Hilda and The Ghost and Molly McGee. This has won them Daytime Emmys in different categories including outstanding main title and graphic design for an animated program — most recently their Emmy for Hilda. The company has more than 340 employees in Ottawa. That success, Clint says, is attributed to the company’s commitment to partnerships and telling stories that take its audiences on emotional journeys. “Going further isn’t a business strategy — it’s simply who we are: storytellers and innovators who are constantly reinventing ourselves to remain ahead of the curve,” Eland says. “An ambition to go beyond the expected is innate in our people, our practices and our business model. Our dedication to telling extraordinary stories is matched only by our commitment to the people who make it.”

In a year that challenged local entrepreneurs like no other in recent memory, Ottawa’s business community showed what it’s truly made of. While the pandemic ravaged many sectors of the economy, resiliency proved to be just as much a byword of the past 12 months as masking and physical distancing. Businesses of all stripes across the National Capital Region showed their ability to adapt under incredible circumstances as they navigated through a storm no one could have foreseen. That get-it-done attitude is clearly reflected in the 2021 list of OBJ’s fastest-growing companies based on revenue growth over the past three years.

2021 Fastest Growing Companies: (three-year revenue growth in parenthesis)

When Ottawa-based last-mile delivery service GoFor closed its second multimillion-dollar funding round of 2020 back in December, founder Brad Rollo called a VC’s prediction that the company would become a billion-dollar enterprise “conservative.” As revenues kept rising in 2021, so did the CEO’s confidence in the firm’s future. As online commerce boomed during the pandemic, the company’s revenues skyrocketed 1,200 per cent from February to December, while its headcount tripled. Meanwhile, investors scrambled to grab a stake in what’s become one of the hottest logistics operations in North America, resulting in two major funding rounds that injected nearly $30 million into GoFor’s coffers.

GoFor (5,319%) Dairy Distillery (2,041%) Bushbalm (1,348%) Noibu (960%)

Several years ago, Jeff Horne and his business partner Laura Mindorff concluded that the industry-standard association database system they were using at their website design company wasn’t as user-friendly at displaying and sorting information as they thought it should be. So in 2017, Horne and Mindorff launched Wicket, the world’s first member data platform for associations and professional societies. The concept quickly caught on, and Wicket now has customers across North America.

Hit Point Press (526%) Wicket (383%) Assurance Home Care (333%) WorldReach (278%) Highbridge Construction (276%) Lightship Security (264%)

OTTAWA BUSINESS JOURNAL obj.ca

Jason Lawlor and the team at Ottawa’s Lightship Security are no strangers to exponential revenue growth. The only previous winner on the list, Lightship appeared in OBJ’s top-10 rankings in 2019. The six-year-old firm has also cracked Canadian Business Magazine’s prestigious Growth 500 list of Canada’s fastest-growing companies in recent years. Lightship automates the process of verifying that IT hardware such as switchers and routers meets rigorous government security standards before being sold to governments themselves. Lawlor says its product certification software, known as Greenlight, has distilled a process that used to consume as much as a year’s worth of manual labour down to less than a month.

Rewind, for example, which backs up data for online storefronts and services such as QuickBooks, has scored nearly $100 million in fresh equity in 2021 alone. Meanwhile, online bug detection platform Noibu saw its revenues soar nearly 600 per cent year-over-year in 2020. “If you look at their platforms and their market opportunity size, there’s a whole whack of Shopifys in there,” Flick says. “Hopefully those create some new areas and markets for us.” Quain agrees, pointing to GoFor and fellow Ottawa-based delivery startup Trexity as examples of local businesses catering to the other end of the e-commerce chain that are coming into their own. “We’re sitting in the shadow of the Shopify mafia,” he says. “Where’s a better place in the world to figure out the next tech-enabled e-commerce software company?” At the same time, Flick and Quain say Ottawa is poised to help drive innovation in another one of technology’s next great frontiers: autonomous vehicles. Some of the industry’s biggest players, such as Accenture, BlackBerry QNX, Ericsson, Microsoft and An autonomous pod from Aurrigo parks near a mobile dummy at Ottawa's newly rebranded Area X.O Nokia, are working with local firms SmartCone, SMATS autonomous vehicle test track.

Steve Beauchesne CEO, Beau’s All Natural Fittingly enough, the idea to start Beau’s All Natural — originally a father and son brewing company — came to be over a pint of beer. It was a sunny day and the duo chatted up the idea on a patio and came up with the plans for the new brewery — and then two years later in 2006 Tim and Steve served up a pint of Beau’s flagship Lug Tread Lagered Ale to their first customer. Steve, the son half of the father-and-son partnership, says his drive to start Beau’s came from his love of beer. “We took bold moves and zig where others zag,” he says . “Success is a funny word. There is never a point where you can really say you have been successful — there is always another mountain to climb or challenge to face.” The business now includes cousins, in-laws and friends who have been supportive over the years, creating a strong camaraderie. He can’t wait for things to get back to normal after two years of a stifling pandemic — more beers on patios with friends in restaurants and in backyards. “I’m looking forward to more beer festivals and full restaurants and happy people sharing great beer at social gatherings," he says.

Christopher Thompson Co-founder, Whitewater Brewing Co. Fans of Whitewater Brewing Co. have a love of nature to thank for the company’s existence. “As I set out to create Whitewater, it was, and is, important to me that I could live in a place that inspired playfulness and allowed me to build a company that gives back to the community that gave me so much,” Christopher Thompson says. Before he co-founded Whitewater, he obtained his bachelor of science in international business and entrepreneurship from Cardiff University and his first job was as a retail clerk in a cellphone store. Then in 2011 he and two friends started Whitewater Brewing Co. It wasn’t an easy path. It took years of hard work, living out of vehicles and learning to bring Whitewater Brewing to life. Today, their beers are not only enjoyed by visitors who stop by their two breweries or two brew pubs, but by drinkers across Canada. “Watching the business, and our team, grow, gives me a lot of personal satisfaction,” Thompson says. “Since our inception, I’ve wanted to create experiences and share stories that people can enjoy and connect with; I’m pleased that we’re achieving that.” Now he is focusing on expanding the company’s portfolio and geographic reach. “We hope that the exceptional experiences, products and stories we craft enrich people’s lives in fun and meaningful ways,” he says. “And as we pursue further growth, we continue to do so in a sustainable, environmentally positive way. In fact, we just became Canada’s first Climate Neutral Brewery.”

Profiles of the key executives at some of the largest craft brewers in Ottawa. See page 62 for the full list. Profiles by Dani-Elle Dubé.

Lon Ladell Brewmaster and co-owner, Big Rig What does it take to become one of the best brewing companies in the Nation’s Capital? As it turns out, you need to love beer — everything else will fall into place. Known by most as Brew Master Lon, it was this love of beer that led to the co-owner of Ottawa’s Big Rig Brewery to start commercially brewing in 1996. It wasn’t until 2012 that Ladell came to Ottawa to help start the local brew biz that is known as Big Rig with co-owner and former Ottawa Senators defenceman Chris Phillips. Since opening, Big Rig has opened restaurants in Gloucester and Ottawa’s west-end, as well as a 16,000-square-foot production facility in Kanata. Now the beer is sold in more than 1,000 locations across Ontario, including LCBO outlets, the Beer Store and grocery stores, serving more than 5,000 customers a week at its restaurants. And thanks to the efforts of Ladell and his team, Big Rig is the largest craft brewery in Ottawa.

The provincial government does not disclose the work location of individuals included in its annual disclosure of public-sector employees who earn more than $100,000. This means that many Ottawa residents who work for Toronto-based ministries and organizations, such as those employed by the Crown Attorney’s Office, have been excluded.

By the numbers 15,000

Nearly Ottawa-based employees working for provincially funded organizations earned more than $100,000 in 2020. That includes:
