Canada: Who's the Most Influential Canadian in Small Business?

There are only five days left to vote for the 100 people, companies and organizations that have had the most influence on small businesses in North America during the past year.

Canadian nominees for the 2012 Small Business Influencer Awards include Dragon's Den judge Robert Herjavec, Wave Accounting co-founder and chief technology officer James Lochrie, and the MaRS Discovery District incubator in Toronto.

Last year's 100 winners included Canadians Susan Ward, a writer at About Small Business Canada, and Globe and Mail writer Sean Stanleigh. The 2011 award winners were determined after 125,164 votes were cast for 520 nominees. (Take note, however, that online votes cast by the public have a smaller amount of influence – just 40 per cent – on the final selection of winners than the votes made by a panel of judges, whose votes are weighted 60 per cent in the final determination of winners.)

The awards are produced by two U.S. online publications, Small Business Trends and Small Biz Technology. Nominees have been put into six categories: leaders, companies, journalists, news media, apps, and experts. Winners will be announced in mid-August and honoured at a New York City gala in October.
