Request for Proposals for DCHC Strategic Plan 2026

Now Hiring: Chief Financial Officer (CFO) 

 
Location: 25 Capston Drive, Mississauga (Hybrid: 2–3 days/week in-office) 
Application Deadline: September 10, 2025 
Salary Range: Competitive salary + pension, generous vacation, and career-shaping impact 

The Opportunity 

This is not your typical CFO role and Peel CAS is not your typical organization. 

As one of the largest Children’s Aid Societies in Ontario, Peel CAS is leading transformation in one 
of the province’s most complex public systems: child welfare, a system as foundational to society 
as health care, education, and justice. We’re combining bold mission work with innovation, 
insights, and partnerships to drive lasting, community-centered change. We are future-focused 
with a balanced budget, sustainable financial plan, and a strong track record of stability and 
growth. 

We are seeking a game-changing finance leader to join our Executive Team as Chief Financial 
Officer, reporting to the CEO. We are looking for someone who brings financial depth and strategic 
creativity, a commitment to public purpose, and the mindset of a builder, collaborator, and 
innovator. 

If you're energized by mission, growth, and impact and ready to bring your finance leadership to the 
forefront of systems change, this is your moment. 

Why This Role Is a Rare Opportunity 

 • Make a real difference. You’ll directly support services that impact the lives of children, 
youth, and families every day. 

 • Shape a sector and a system. Join a team that’s rewriting the playbook on how child 
welfare can operate, more community-driven, preventative, and innovative. 

 • Bring your full leadership range. Finance, strategic planning, innovation, partnership 
building, DEI and reconciliation, this is a full-spectrum leadership role.
