Online Access: Click here to begin searching CBR.ca
Subject Area: Business
Resource Type: Online business directory
Description: The Canadian Business Resource has been published in book form (known as the Blue Book of Canadian Business) since 1918. This website (CBR.ca) was created in 1997, giving users a new and more interactive way to find Canadian business information. The website is updated several times a week and allows users to actively and quickly search for detailed company information.

The site is divided into three sections of business information:

1. Corporate Profiles & Executive Profiles:

Over 50 industry leaders have been invited to publish in-depth Corporate Profiles in addition to their Company Database records. Each profile explains in detail who the company is, what it does, how it grew and developed into a successful corporation, and its current role in the Canadian economy. It also highlights top executives and board members and profiles one or more company leaders.

2. Executive Biographies:

These biographies are also cross-referenced in the Executive Profiles table, which lists each executive by company name.

Each Corporate Profile is linked to its Subscriber Database record.

3. Top Stock rankings:

Top Stock rankings list both the top 100 stocks by trading volume and the top 100 performing stocks based on growth for the last calendar year.

Rankings for the last two calendar years are available, and each listed company is directly linked to its Subscriber Database record.

Note: Some companies were public at the time of their ranking but have since become private.

The database allows users to search a database of over 6,000 top Canadian companies and pinpoint companies using specific criteria.

Each company record includes:

  • contact information
  • officers' and directors' names
  • brief company description
  • financial data
  • SIC codes
  • direct links to email and website addresses
  • direct links to press releases, stock analysis, and investment information.
Formats Indexed: Corporate & executive profiles; biographies, stock rankings
Update Frequency: Several times per week
Interface: Canadian Newspaper Services International
