Executive Director

The Opportunity

In this exciting and newly created position, we are seeking an Executive Director to provide strategic and operational leadership for the Canadian National Exhibition Foundation. The Executive Director will play an instrumental role in building our capacity, determining our mandate and identifying compelling fundraising priorities that will inspire our donors, volunteers and staff. Initially reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian National Exhibition Association, the Executive Director will be a critical member of our senior management team.

The Executive Director will focus on relaunching the CNE Foundation in alignment with our recently completed inaugural strategic plan, seeking funding for projects to potentially include the digitization of an extensive CNE archival photo collection and a permanent home to showcase the CNE’s history; re-establishment of the CNE’s art collection; a showcase for the history of the city of Toronto; and the support of opportunities that align with its funding pillars: Agriculture and the Environment; Arts and Culture; Industry and Entrepreneurship; and Community Building.

 

About the Canadian National Exhibition Association

The Canadian National Exhibition

The CNE, or The EX as it is also known, is Canada’s largest fair and the fifth largest fair in North America. Taking place over the 18 days leading up to and including Labour Day Monday, the CNE offers a wide variety of interactive entertainment experiences.

A cherished tradition for the people of Toronto and surrounding communities, the CNE attracts approximately 1.5 million visitors annually. The fair generates an annual economic impact of approximately $93.1 million for the Greater Toronto Area and $128.3 million for the province of Ontario.

The CNE is held at Exhibition Place, a 192-acre site along Toronto’s waterfront on the shores of Lake Ontario and just west of downtown Toronto.

The Canadian National Exhibition Association is the provincially incorporated agricultural society that organizes the annual CNE in Toronto. Operating since 1879, the CNEA encourages and promotes agriculture, horticulture, the arts and manufacturing. A corporation without share capital, the CNEA became independent from the City of Toronto and the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place on April 1, 2013.

Reconciliation

The CNEA has a renewed commitment to Indigenous Peoples and to fostering reconciliation. In 2017, the CNE was officially opened by an Indigenous leader for the first time in its history: Chief R. Stacey Laforme of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation.

Exhibition Place is located on the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. In recognition of this and the CNE’s historic role in the community, the CNEA works collaboratively with Indigenous community partners on the development of programs.

Accessibility and Inclusivity

The CNEA is dedicated to ensuring that all guests and members of the organization are treated fairly and equitably. Over the past year, the CNEA has worked diligently with the CNE Advisory Council on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities to improve accessibility and inclusivity at the CNE at all levels, from employment through to admissions and customer service.

In the fall of 2017, the CNEA received the Champion’s League Award from the Ontario Disability Employment Network for its leadership role in promoting the inclusion of people who have a disability in the workplace.

For further information about the CNEA and the CNE, please visit: www.theex.com

The Canadian National Exhibition Foundation (CNEF) was incorporated under the laws of Ontario in 1975. It is a public foundation and a registered charity.

Mission:

Building on the rich legacy and tradition of the Canadian National Exhibition,
we inspire community building by investing in innovative initiatives.
