VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA - Keeping a streak may be hard for some, but for Oppy, a 22-year streak is a badge of honor. The company was recently recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for the 22nd time, taking part in the program’s Platinum Club for 16 years.

John Anderson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Managing Partner, Oppy“It’s a particularly profound year to be honored for this award,” said Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Managing Partner John Anderson. “As we’ve glimpsed back on 20 years of expect the world from us, we’ve also really honed in on what lies ahead. Being a Canada’s Best Managed company through the entire life of our brand promise proves that the heart of Oppy is beating strong, and the clarity of expectations we have for ourselves, and others have of us, will auspiciously guide our way into the future.”
