A particular series of awards caught our eye at a recent trade show – beautiful, clear acrylics that have colourful effects which accent well in a variety of positions and lighting.

It goes without saying that we couldn’t wait to bring these back to Winnipeg, and we’re now proud to announce that these acrylic awards are now available to the public.

These awards created using crystal-clear acrylic, are hand polished and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the classic Obelisk design to the attractive Spectrum award.

Each acrylic award is available with a variety of coloured accents, including red, gold, purple, blue and green, and can be etched with any logos or messages you request and/or a spectacular colour background.

To learn more about our new acrylic awards, call us today at 204 775 8953 or visit us at 135 Midland Street.

Now while these are true, we’d like to instead offer up an alternative definition of Winnipeg’s two climates that aren’t quite as gloomy – hockey and golf seasons.

There’s probably no better example of this phenomenon than this year’s outdoor experience. Sure, we’re used to the outdoor frozen pond being unusable in March, but so many golf courses are already open that we’ve barely had a chance to store away our sticks and pull out the clubs.

While both sports have a commonality of being sports that involve a shaft-and-blade device, the bigger commonality between the two are the competitive streaks each has, despite being “leisure” activities.This spirit is especially seen in tournaments, which, despite their oft-times intention of being a fun competition, bring out the sports animal inside its combatants; and just like in the wild, there’s nothing better to celebrate a victory with than an award that shows that, even for one fleeting moment, you are the best in the world (or at least among your buddies) at what you do.

So now that the spirit is inside you, come get your award. Call CanMark today at (204) 775-8953.

While a volunteer contributes this valued time without any expectation of anything in return, a tip of the cap is always appreciated and can help motivate that individual and those around him or her to continue their dedication to a non-profit organization.

In particular, it’s important to show a long-time volunteer that their hard work has not gone unrecognized, especially as those individual hit landmark years. The standards tend to be 5s and 10s, especially once you go north of 20 years. These are definitely two times that you may want to start looking at your volunteer roster and see who has done exceptional work and have been dedicated.

So if you’re organization is ready to show their appreciation to that special individual who donates their time selflessly, consider a plaque from CanMark Industries Ltd. at (204) 775-8953.

In the episode, the pointy-haired boss gave his “valued” employees recognition pieces primarily found in the company’s lost and found box. Characters like Wally gladly accepted these items, as it was the only time they truly got any form of “job well done” recognition from the higher ups.

While the concept of being happy for getting a glove or sock seems absurd (and it is), the truth behind the employee recognition episode is that recognizing your employees’ hard work is integral for the success of a business. An employee who sees that their efforts are recognized is more likely to perform better and, just as importantly, want to stay with your company, and in today’s climate, where employees can jump between organizations every couple years, anything you can do to retain your top workers is crucial.

If you’re looking to recognize an employee for their hard work, call CanMark Industries Ltd. today and learn about some of the amazing plaques we have provided for businesses in Winnipeg and Manitoba. We can create beautifully-etched pieces for you and your company, custom-created to include your company’s logo and the exact look you want.
