The second annual Ontario Construction Report Readers' Choice Awards attracted hundreds of votes from across the province, and the results reveal a diversity of successful businesses in every part of the province.

Voters selected their favorites in an on-line poll which concluded near the end of January. We tabulated the results, and have awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze recognition in categories where enough voters cast ballots.

Tomlinson Environmental Ltd. in Ottawa tied with Michael J. Martin for the most awards (companies could be nominated in several categories). Tomlinison received Gold recognition in the Outstanding Sub Trade category. The company also received Bronze Awards for Outstanding Customer Service, and Outstanding Construction Industry Supplier.

Reid and Deleye in Courtland Ontario received the most votes overall, in the General Contractor category. However, Silver winner George W. Stone in Sault Ste. Marie also received many votes in the most popular category for voters.

Readers Choice Award winners and finalists, along with award sponsors, will be recognized in a special supplement to Ontario Construction Report in April.
