Applicants have a pattern of action that inspire others to grow in their chosen career. Applicants have a passion for career development, demonstrated by their commitment to employee enrichment programs, scholarship and/or mentorship opportunities in local communities.

Applicants demonstrate philanthropy through financial or programming and demonstrate inclusivity for more robust and diverse Canadian communities, thereby enriching the communities they serve.

Applicants are conscious of their impact on their communities, including support of immigrants by providing equal and active employment enrichment and integration opportunities, inspiring a philanthropic and community-building spirit in the ordinary course of business.

The award is dedicated to and named after Mr. lgnat Kaneff, Founder of Kaneff Group, who passed away in 2020. Mr. Kaneff's life story was extraordinary, and at its core, a quintessential Canadian immigrant success story. Mr. Kaneff founded Kaneff Construction in 1956, capitalizing on the post-war suburban housing boom, later expanding into high-rise tower construction and eventually into commercial property developments. Mr. Kaneff is credited with shaping Mississauga and Brampton's downtown skylines through his signature iconic tall white towers built at breakneck speed in the 70s and 80s. Mr. Kaneff’s name is also widely recognized in the golf industry for having raised the standard of publicly available golf in the 90s, with the opening of Lionhead Golf Club & Conference Centre. Iggy Kaneff's real estate development legacy is matched only by his vast philanthropic deeds. In 1955, Mr. Kaneff pledged against his future earnings to donate $2,000 to the future Mississauga Hospital. This was the lead gift, and 20 times larger than the second largest gift. This type of selfless disposition sparked over 65 years of genuine and sustained commitment to philanthropy.

Ignat Kaneff had a deep respect for universities, donating over $15 million to The University of Toronto, York University, Osgoode Hall Law School and Ruse University in Bulgaria, his country of birth. The Ignat Kaneff Charitable Foundation was established in 1986 by Mrs. Didi Kaneff, giving tens of millions to various educational, non-profit, and health organizations. In recognition of his many business achievements and philanthropic contributions, Ignat Kaneff was awarded the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario.

An exceptional quality was Mr. Kaneff's ability to inspire, support, push and encourage those around him to reach higher and accomplish more. He genuinely cared about people's life journeys.

Award entries will be reviewed by a special committee organized by BILD's President and CEO, determining the successful recipient.

This award is made possible with the generous support of the Kaneff family, who values support of new Canadians. BILD and Kaneff hope this award will encourage industry-wide thought-leadership in hiring, training, and recruitment practices.
