TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 29, 2025 / The CIO Association of Canada (CIOCAN) is thrilled to announce the return of the iconic Canadian CIO of the Year Awards, set for October 2025, in strategic partnership with Jim Love and Tech Newsday. This national celebration will honour Canada’s most exceptional technology leaders-visionaries reshaping industries, driving digital transformation, and delivering measurable value to their organizations and communities that they serve.

Launched initially by Fawn Annan when she was President of IT World Canada (ITWC), the Canadian CIO of the Year Awards have recognized Canada’s top echelon of technology leadership for over a decade. In later years the Awards grew in partnership with CIOCAN, including CIOCAN members serving as the exclusive judges of the awards each year.

“The Awards were a project that Fawn and I both developed and nurtured. Even when times were tough, we found a way to keep them going. Now that IT World is no longer publishing, we’re in the process of continuing its mission under a new name – Tech Newsday. And thanks to our partnership with CIOCAN we have a path to continue the tradition of celebrating the accomplishments of Canada’s technology leadership in these awards.” Jim Love, publisher of Tech Newsday.

With this relaunch, CIOCAN is ensuring the legacy not only continues but evolves.

“Technology leaders are at the heart of every successful transformation story – whether it’s modernizing public services, scaling entrepreneurial ventures, or defending against evolving cyber threats,” said Shaun Guthrie, President & Chair of CIOCAN. “These awards celebrate the bold, strategic work of CIOs and CISOs across Canada who don’t just keep the lights on – they illuminate the future.”

Award Categories for 2025:

  • CIO of the Year – Private Sector

  • CIO of the Year – Public Sector

  • CIO of the Year – Not-for-Profit

  • CISO of the Year

  • Fawn Annan Memorial Award (for leadership and advocacy in technology)

All winners will receive a complimentary one-year CIOCAN membership and be inducted into the newly created CIOCAN Hall of Fame, a lasting tribute to Canada’s most influential technology trailblazers.

The event will be supported by national media partners Tech Newsday and Digital Journal, offering widespread recognition and thought leadership visibility.

Sponsorship Opportunities Available

Organizations looking to support this landmark event and connect with Canada’s top IT leadership talent can contact Ken Rowley at [email protected] for sponsorship inquiries and partnership packages.
