The unusual nature of this collaborative structure provides an unbiased and objective outcome that is completely unique to these awards. No other analysis process, nor any other resource, provides this broad industry representation via "collaborative results" and the top performers have become a valuable annual reference guide for Canadian investors and advisors.

New for 2008 is our Green Company Awards and although our major theme will always be Long Term Investing our annual theme continues to be focused on green initiatives including the formation of this new series of awards to be presented this year at the Gala for the first time. More details to follow.

The Awards Program will continue to strive for new ways to embrace our green theme and will again be Bullfrog Powered. This means that Bullfrog Power will inject carbon-free green power onto the Ontario grid to match the amount of electricity used by this event. All of the electricity injected on our behalf will be sourced exclusively from wind and low-impact water power producers who meet or exceed the federal government's EcoLogo(M) standard for renewable energy. Choosing green, carbon-free power is an easy way for homes, businesses and organizations to help fight climate change and create a healthier environment for future generations. We invite all of you to visit Bullfrog Power on the web at www.bullfrogpower.com.
