Canadian Mental Health Association 

BC Division (Lower Mainland Branch) 

Executive Director 

We respectfully acknowledge xÊ·mÉÎ¸kÊ·ÉyÌÉm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), 

sÉlÌilwÉtaÊÉ¬ (Tsleil-Waututh), Lkwungen (Songhees) and Wyomilth (Esquimalt) peoples on whose 

traditional, unceded lands the CMHA BC offices are located. 

Founded in 1918, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is Canada’s most 

established and extensive community mental health organization. With a federated structure 

that spans 87 locations across the country, CMHA provides advocacy, resources, and programs 

that promote mental health, prevent illness, support recovery and resilience, and enable 

Canadians to thrive. CMHA BC is committed to advancing the goals of the Truth and 

Reconciliation Commission, working in partnership with Indigenous communities, and promoting 

culturally safe and inclusive services. 

CMHA BC operates with a deep commitment to transparency, accountability, person-centred 

support, and the inclusion of people with lived experience in decision-making. Through its wide-

reaching network of community-based programs, including those focused on mental health 

promotion, suicide prevention, peer navigation, housing, and youth services, CMHA BC is a 

trusted leader in transforming mental health care across the province. 

It is within this context that CMHA BC invites nominations and applications for the role of 

Executive Director (ED) of the Lower Mainland Branch—a unique opportunity to lead a new 

entity in the context of the changing landscape of mental health needs in the province. This is a 

pivotal leadership moment, offering the chance to help build one of CMHA’s most historically 

significant branches and co-create a renewed, values-aligned organization with an experienced, 

steady team already in place. 

The Executive Director will be responsible for anchoring the newly reconstituted Lower Mainland 

Branch through a period of transformation and renewal. This is a mission-critical hire. Reporting 

to the Board of Directors and supported by CMHA BC and CMHA National, the ED will bring 

clarity, confidence, and compassion, working to stabilize operations, to continue fostering 

community trust, and to thoughtfully optimize internal functions, particularly in finance, HR, and 

corporate services. 

Rather than prioritizing immediate expansion or aggressive growth, this role demands a 

grounded, servant leader: someone who listens deeply, leads with empathy, and builds 

relationships across program areas, funders, and partners. The successful candidate will 

understand BC’s mental health and social service systems and demonstrate strong, felt 

leadership.

Qualifications 

Among the qualifications being sought in candidates, the incoming leader must have a deep and 

abiding commitment to advancing reconciliation, equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in 

all its forms and must believe, intrinsically, in the importance of leading with curiosity and 

welcoming ideas that can later be synthesized and turned into possibility. While all candidates 

are encouraged to apply and, in so doing, share how they see themselves adding value to the 

CMHA BC environment, the following credentials and/or experiences are seen as possible 

markers of the candidates most likely to realize success in the role: A) senior leadership 

experience in community-based mental health, housing, addictions, or social services within the 

BC context; B) a demonstrable track record of stabilizing, building, or reconstituting teams and 

organizations through complexity or transition; C) an empathetic, trauma-informed leadership 

style rooted in humility, collaboration, and relationship-building; and D) a commitment to 

governance transparency, operational accountability, and inclusive engagement with staff, 

volunteers, funders, and communities. 

The salary range for this position is $140,000.00 to $150,000.00 CAD, commensurate with 

experience.
