The RBC Inclusion Award recognizes businesses that champion inclusion through their policies, practices and culture, making meaningful efforts to remove barriers, amplify underrepresented voices and create positive change in their industry and community.

The Bow Valley College Innovation Award is presented to the Calgary small business that is pushing conventional boundaries and is disrupting and reshaping their industry through groundbreaking achievements in bringing innovation to market. This could be done in the following ways: a creative business concept that brings innovation to market, product creation or an innovative approach that improves productivity or work processes.​

This award celebrates a Calgary small business that leads with purpose, demonstrating how doing good and doing business can go hand in hand. Whether through meaningful contributions to local charities or creative approaches to environmental sustainability, this business exemplifies a commitment to the triple bottom line: people, profit and the planet. Their dedication to making a positive impact inspires others to think beyond the bottom line and build a better future for all. Open to businesses across all industries, this award recognizes those who integrate social and environmental impact into their operations, proving that any business can be a force for good.
