SAINT JOHN – The Financial and Consumer Services Commission of New Brunswick was named one of Atlantic Canada’s top employers for 2026 by Mediacorp Canada Inc., organizers of the annual Canada’s Top 100 Employers competition.
This special designation recognizes employers in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.
“This achievement speaks not only to what we do, but to who we are as an organization and to the people who give it life every day,” said Commission CEO Kevin Hoyt. “It belongs to our dedicated employees who work every day toward a shared purpose to give New Brunswickers confidence in their financial lives.”
As New Brunswick’s financial market authority, the Commission supervises more than 44,000 companies and professionals who make their living working with New Brunswickers’ money to ensure they meet standards for knowledge, integrity and business practices. It administers and enforces provincial legislation that regulates securities, insurance, pensions, consumer protection, credit unions, trust and loan companies, cooperatives and more. It also promotes understanding of these sectors through its website and consumer education program and operates New Brunswick’s Unclaimed Property Program.
The Commission invests in competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits and health and wellness services, and helps employees balance their work and personal lives through flexible work arrangements, including hybrid options, flexible hours and more. It also offers a summer hours program, paid personal wellness days and continuous learning and development opportunities.
For all new parents, the Commission offers maternity and parental leave top-up benefits. It also offers phased-in work options for employees nearing retirement, allowing a gradual reduction in hours to ease the transition. The Commission also helps its employees save for retirement through a shared risk pension plan.
“This recognition is not a destination,” Hoyt said. “It is momentum. We will continue to strengthen our culture, expand our supports and reinforce a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported and empowered to do their best work and where the Commission remains an employer of choice.”
Now in its 17th year, Atlantic Canada’s Top Employers reviews organizations on eight criteria: workplace; work atmosphere and social; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement.
