"At Hydro Ottawa, our values form the fabric of our culture," says Hydro Ottawa President and Chief Executive Officer Bryce Conrad. "This award recognizes the way teamwork, integrity, excellence and service are embedded in everything we do - from the service our employees provide on a daily basis, to the exceptional work experience they can count on."
