Local Fresh Food Chain Requalifies as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies 

Ottawa, Ontario, March 20, 2013 — Two years after originally being named one of Canada's Best Managed Companies, Farm Boy 2012 Inc. (Farm Boy™) has once again achieved requalification of this highly regarded standing. 

News of the chain's continued status as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies was unveiled in a recent edition of the National Post. Members of the Farm Boy Management Team are invited to a symposium at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on April 16th, 2013, where award recipients will be honoured at an evening gala.
