TMX Group spotlights Canada’s Next 150: The future has never looked brighter

July 31, 2017 (TORONTO) – In celebration of Canada 150, TMX Group has launched an inclusive social media campaign to recognize the newest generation of dynamic, visionary Canadians leading our country to future success.

In the opening weeks of the campaign, Canada's Next 150 has profiled inspiring students, entrepreneurs and forward-thinkers who embody Canadian values and reflect our country's rich diversity. The campaign will profile future Canadian leaders each week, leading up to September 2017.

"With roots that predate Confederation, TMX Group has proudly served at the centre of Canada's capital markets throughout our nation's history, providing an engine for turning potential into reality," said Alison Simpson, SVP Marketing & Brand, TMX Group. "So, it's natural for us to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday by collaborating with fellow Canadians to showcase some of the truly inspirational emerging leaders - from industry and beyond - who will help make Canada's next 150 years even brighter."
