More than 20,000 employees from companies across Canada participated in the 2007 “Best Workplaces in Canada” survey. The list of Best Workplaces in Canada 2007 was published in the April 23rd's issue of Canadian Business.
I went through the list searching for any BI-related companies and found these:
19th Microsoft Canada
28th Online Business Systems
37th Deloitte and Touche
Not a great showing for BI vendors, except for Microsoft BI where their Canadian BI group is gaining momentum with mid to large installations. I'm sure they are looking forward to their PerformancePoint 2007 release.
Online Business Systems has a BI and integration consulting practice throughout Canada and US. And Deloitte and Touche also has BI practitioners but probably wants to focus more on business transformation, strategy and business cases around BI and DW.
Typically companies that have the "right" culture, like Canada's 50 best, attract the best and brightest people. Who wants to spend time working for a "bad boss" or a company with a culture of holding back their people?
What I'm getting at is the companies that can hire the "best people" will probably give you the best products and services in the end. If you're interested in doing BI, then I would start with these best.
It would be great to see more BI companies on that list but these 3 are a beginning.

At our company, Deloitte was involved in the initial business case for BI, but also helped with a BI strategy/roadmap. We were surprised when we found out they did implementations, and had BI technical experts to build our DW.
