CADA Laureate Awards recognize top Canadian automotive dealers

The 2026 CADA Laureate Awards have recognized outstanding Canadian new car and truck dealers for their leadership, professional achievements, and industry commitment. Selected from a pool of over 3,200 dealers nationwide, the winners underwent a rigorous evaluation process involving peer nominations and selection by independent judges from Western University’s Ivey Business School.

The awards are presented in three distinct categories: Ambassadorship, Business Innovation, and Retail Operations. In the Ambassadorship category, which honors extraordinary service to the community and the industry, Kevin Sharfe of Sherwood Chevrolet in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, was named a laureate. Sharfe, who has operated the Chevrolet dealership for 15 years, expressed deep gratitude for the recognition and emphasized the importance of community contribution.

The program is exclusively sponsored by iA Dealer Services.
