The Licensing Executives Society (U.S.A. and Canada) has selected the LES Vancouver Chapter as a recipient of its 2004/2005 Outstanding Chapter Award.  The award was due in no small part to the high levels of attendance at LES Vancouver Chapter events/workshops over the past year, and not just the content of the events/workshops themselves.  

CANTEST announced that Dr. Donald Rix has won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2005 Pacific Region award in the Health Sciences category. Dr. Rix also received a special citation at the Entrepreneur of the Year National award dinner in Ottawa, recognizing him as a Promoter of Entrepreneurship.
