Find out who won the top prizes on a memorable night in Toronto
The stars of the mortgage industry were out in full force last night for the Canadian Mortgage Awards, with an audience of hundreds in attendance at the Toronto Congress Centre for the glitzy ceremony.
Now in its 18th year, the always eagerly anticipated awards show saw leading names from across the industry competing for top prizes honouring the best brokers, brokerages, lenders, business development managers, underwriters, service providers and more.
Excellence Awardees – the finalists across each category – had already been named in recent weeks, but overall winners were announced throughout the course of a memorable night moderated by renowned Etalk anchor Tyrone Edwards.

(CMI), Centum, Community Trust, CWB Optimum Mortgage, Equitable Bank, Haventree Bank, Home Trust, MCAN Home, MortgageClosingCentres.ca, Scarlett and RFA, and red carpet sponsor Coalition of Independent Mortgage Brokers of Canada (CIMBC), for their support.
