Loblaw Companies Limited, L’Oreal Canada Inc. and Corus Entertainment Inc. were also selected for this year’s Top 8.

“The chosen companies deserve to be recognized for providing good company employee relations. Knowing what makes a corporation is good; a good corporation to work for is invaluable,” said Gale Blaylock, president/CEO, Jobspeopledo.com.
