Kingsdale Advisors is proud to extend our congratulations to the exceptional companies we have the privilege of advising, who collectively earned four awards and 29 nominations at the 2025 IR Impact Awards – Canada. These results speak volumes about the strength, sophistication and strategic discipline of their investor relations functions.

The big winners among clients include:

• Aecon took home three major awards, including Best Overall Investor Relations and Best ESG Reporting in the small-cap category – a reflection of the company’s consistent transparency and engagement with shareholders.
• Canadian Pacific Kansas City saw its senior leadership team recognized, with CEO Keith Creel and CFO Nadeem Velani winning Best IR by a Senior Management Team in the large-cap category – underscoring the value of leadership visibility and alignment in investor communications.

The IR Impact Awards, hosted annually to highlight excellence in Canadian capital markets, recognize best-in-class performance in investor relations, corporate governance and shareholder engagement. These are not only the pillars of award-winning IR practices – they are at the core of Kingsdale’s advisory approach.

As the expectations placed on public companies continue to evolve, so too does the definition of effective IR. It’s no longer just about disclosure. Today, boards and executive teams must navigate a more complex stakeholder environment – one that demands proactive strategy, strong narrative and long-term value creation.

At Kingsdale, we work side by side with issuers to craft and execute IR strategies that anticipate market dynamics, resonate with investors and differentiate companies in an increasingly competitive capital landscape.

We congratulate all of this year’s nominees and winners – and are especially proud of our clients who continue to lead by example.
