TOPGUNS OUT IN FULL FORCE.

One has to wonder who was minding the store considering many of Canada’s top bosses were packed into the Royal Ontario Museum recently for the fifth TopGun awards, presented by Brendan Wood International to companies, CEOs, CFOs and boards of directors who demonstrate outstanding value to shareholders.

The TopGun designation is awarded by the Brendan Wood Worldwide Panel of Shareholders, consisting of 2,500 professional investors who mange trillions of dollars in equity capital. A total of 26 companies received TopGun designations, selected from 250 Canadian companies evaluated. “In a year when shareholders lacked confidence in the capital markets, these companies and their management teams stand out as having been elected by shareholders for outstanding professionalism and integrity,” said BWI chairman Brendan Wood.

Among the TopGuns celebrated were Sean Boyd of Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd., Richard B. Clark of Brookfield Properties, E. Hunter Harrison (now retired) of Canadian National Railway, Steve W. Laut of Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., Patrick D. Daniel of Enbridge Inc., Randall K. Eresman of EnCana Corp., Tye W. Burt of Kinross Gold Corp., William J. Doyle of Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc., Michael Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie of Research in Motion, Edward Sonshine of RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, Juergen Schreiber of Shoppers Drug Mart Corp., and W. Edmund Clark of Toronto-Dominion Bank.
