An educational institution older than the country itself vaulted to the top of FORBES’s 2017 roster of Canada’s best employers, surpassing power players from a number of different industries in the Great White North. 28 on FORBES’s Best Employers list last year. How do we at FORBES decide which of Canada’s large companies and organizations deserve to be labeled the country’s best employers? The employees who took part in the survey were consulted not via their employers but anonymously through several online access panels. Also, 2016’s second place company, Vancity, a banking business based in Vancouver, fell to 39th and last year’s best employer, electric utility company BC Hydro, sank to 24th in 2017.
