This article highlights three under the radar Canadian small caps with strong balance sheets and resilient business models that screen as high quality on fundamentals.

The three stocks below are just a small sample of the opportunity. The full screen surfaced 6 more Canadian small caps with equally compelling stories that are not covered in this article.
