    What a difference a year can make, who would have thought an application and some examples of our marketing could lead to not only the Alberta Best Business Award, but the National Best Business Award with CYBF. It was a great pleasure to accept these awards at the annual gala on behalf of our employees who were also tickled to share the prize money for their great contributions towards our success.  This award furthered our commitment to great employees and also raised this commitment to success and quality with our clients as we have once again nearly tripled in size this year after the exposure from the awards and it continues to roll in. CYBF and its partners have and continue to be a major part of a Canadian Business Success story as we have grown from 2 staff members in my basement in May of 2006 to employing 75 staff members in Alberta alone, which will rise to close to 100 likely by the of 2009, as well as staff and a building in Denver and Winnipeg. In 3 small years a loan and encouragement by my CYBF mentor plus these awards have turned drive and enthusiasm in livelihoods for 75 families – WOW!!”

    The support I’ve received from CYBF has been absolutely phenomenal. The CYBF 2008 British Columbia Best Business Award provided DreamLife the means to reach a whole new level of public relations. The benefits I’ve received from this award reached far beyond a sense of personal accomplishment. It reminded my team that the business we’ve created together is as awesome as we think it is; the media inquiries we’ve received from papers, such as the Globe and Mail, have been very promising; our clients and their affiliates have even noticed. Our increase in credibility provides them with a lot more confidence in referring us to new clients and really helps us establish our clientele in Toronto.”

    Being a health care professional, it is extremely satisfying to know that I have done something right in the business world.  Winning the 2008 CYBF Central Prairies Best Business Award has given me the extra push to know I'm going about my business in the right direction.  Receiving media attention (Winnipeg Free Press) has given my business instant credibility with the public and has been a valuable asset.  With this increased attention, I have been approached to open a second health-care related business in Winnipeg because of the recognition that CYBF has given me.

    The attention my company received as a result of its affiliation with the Canadian Youth Business Foundation and the efforts of their PR Team has put us in the homes and offices of readers of the National Post, Business Edge and several other national media. From this exposure flowed further opportunities such as; requests from several organizations and a college to speak at, the attention of a national retail chain to collaborate with, and many other connections. This kind of attention would not have arisen without the CYBF affiliation and the efforts of the PR Team to find new and interesting ways to catch the attention of the media to the cause of youth entrepreneurship and our businesses.

    The 2008 CYBF Atlantic Canada Best Business Award got Talay Thai out of the small box we had envisioned. The trip to Toronto opened a new world to us. We had worked so hard on our little nest. The recognition of the CYBF Award was enough to give the birds the confidence to fly. We have so many new ideas for business growth: from sauce manufacturing to franchising. CYBF, you have given us the wings to fly.
