Congratulations to John Bassindale of Millar Kreklewetz LLP, our second recipient of the Distinguished Service Award.

John is an expert in his field, having been brought to that level under the tutelage of a couple of outstanding mentors, who are themselves legends in Canadian direct sales.

John has been involved with DSA Canada for many years. He is a trusted advisor to DSA Canada, helping to ensure that we remain the respected voice of direct selling in Canada with regulators, lawmakers, and those enforcing the sometimes seemingly undecipherable rules of Canadian business.

Thank you for your commitment to DSA Canada and direct selling in Canada!

Congratulations to Crystal Holtzendorff of PayQuicker, recipient of the Distinguished Service Award!

Crystal is definitely someone who works hard and does it with a smile. She has been a longstanding supporter of DSA Canada and our annual conference. She understands that by building meaningful relationships over time, win-win results are the outcome.

Crystal and PayQuicker are fully invested in DSA Canada. She has made a meaningful difference to the Association through her distinguished service and has made our jobs just a little better and more enjoyable.

Thank you, Crystal, for your dedication, and years of service!

We are proud to honour Julie Capito, Customer Experience Manager at USANA Canada. Julie has invested her knowledge and love for the direct selling industry for decades, recently celebrating her 28th Anniversary with USANA.

She has served with intelligence and passion on the DSEF Board for many years, supporting fundraising efforts at Conference and beyond. She is a champion of the Annual Scholarship program and has played a crucial role in widening its reach and audience. She has also played a key role in DSEF research initiatives, such as the recent National ISC Survey.

We’re thrilled to recognize Québec cité Destination Affaires with the Partnership in Progress Award.

Québec cité Destination Affaires, and in particular Debbie Miller, have a history of outstanding support for events in the direct selling space.

Debbie and her team have shown a keen understanding of direct selling’s unique industry needs. She has helped member companies to secure venues – including conference centres, hotels, and restaurants – and engage local activities tied to events in Quebec City, which were not only fitting, but meaningful and memorable!

Here’s to building powerful partnerships that fuel success!

Congrats to the Making a Difference Award winner, Pampered Chef Canada , for their amazing Round‑Up From the Heart – Give Back Set Campaign.

This campaign reflects Pampered Chef Canada’s long‑standing commitment to addressing food insecurity through innovative, accessible, and community‑driven solutions. In the past year the campaign delivered strong year‑over‑year growth, increased meal donations nationwide, and empowered consultants and customers alike to make a tangible difference in their local communities.

They’ve shown that direct selling can empower communities and give back in meaningful ways.

Every year, we shine a spotlight on the innovators, changemakers, and champions who elevate the direct selling community. Over the next couple of days, we’ll be revealing our 2026 DSA Canada Award Recipients!

Follow along as we celebrate their achievements and share how they’re driving our industry forward.

We're kicking off with the Industry Innovation Award!

Congratulations to MONAT Canada Official on receiving the Industry Innovation Award. MONAT has pioneered a transformative shift in the North American direct selling landscape through the strategic integration of social commerce with the launch of the MONAT Meta Affiliate Program. This initiative represents a fundamental evolution of the traditional direct selling model by merging content, community, and commerce into a seamless, digital-first ecosystem, redefining how Market Partners connect with customers and grow their business.

It’s a wrap. What an amazing few days in Burlington for the 2026 DSA Canada Annual Conference .

So many insights and so much passion for direct selling. The future is bright.

Stay tuned for Award Winner celebration posts.
