To continue to build on its longstanding legacy of impact, Canadore seeks its next President and CEO. Reporting to the Board of Governors, the President provides overall leadership and strategic direction for the College. The successful candidate will be responsible for championing Canadore’s mission and mandate, ensuring its financial health, and elevating its reputation provincially, nationally, and internationally. Key priorities include leading the next phase of strategic planning, strengthening community and industry partnerships, advancing equity, diversity and inclusion, and reinforcing Canadore’s role as a key economic and cultural driver in North Bay and beyond. This is an exciting opportunity to build on Canadore’s strong legacy of innovation and student-centred education while preparing the College to meet the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
The ideal candidate will be a visionary and collaborative leader with a proven record of senior leadership in a complex academic or organizational setting.
