The Ottawa Business Journal celebrated the 25th anniversary of its annual Book of Lists with a launch party at the Ottawa Art Gallery, drawing local executives and community partners.<\/p>\n

The 2026 edition of the Book of Lists features ranked industry lists, executive profiles, procurement data and economic insights, and is considered a key reference for the region\u2019s business community. Guests at the event were among the first to receive copies of the new publication.<\/p>\n

The evening was presented by Commissionaires Ottawa<\/a>, with support from TD Canada Trust<\/a> and Sezlik.com<\/a>. Attendees networked over cocktails and gourmet hors d\u2019oeuvres while exploring demonstrations and displays highlighting physical, electronic and cybersecurity services. The annual launch has become a staple of Ottawa\u2019s business calendar, spotlighting the companies and leaders shaping the local economy. Local artist Fall Down G painted a mural live and Wallack\u2019s Art Supplies did an art participation project. @falldowng<\/p>\n
