This national program annually selects best-in-class Canadian organizations for their corporate culture. Yee Hong Centre is one of ten winners recognized nationwide in the Broader Public Sector category.

In October 2016, all four Yee Hong Centres and Social Services received Accreditation with Exemplary Standing for 2016-2020.
