Every year, the Canadian Printing Awards brings together leaders from across the country to recognize excellence in print craftsmanship, sustainability, and technological innovation. The 2025 Canadian Printing Awards, held on November 6th, featured a special keynote address from Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford, signaling the importance of the printing industry in Canada at this pivotal moment in history, and highlighted the remarkable depth of talent in our industry.

This year, judges recognized Hemlock with 5 top awards, including Best Print Project, British Columbia and Most Environmentally Progressive Printing Project. Notably, Hemlock’s own Jeff Cooper was recognized as the Plant Manager of the Year. Jeff’s leadership and technical expertise have been instrumental to Hemlock’s success, and we congratulate him on this well-deserved accolade.

Congratulations to all the industry achievement winners and all 2025 Canadian Printing Awards recipients! See the full list of winners here.
