MISSISSAUGA, ON, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canadian Home Care Association (CHCA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Fiona Deller as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Fiona succeeds Nadine Henningsen, who is retiring after nearly two decades of dedicated leadership.
Fiona Deller brings extensive experience in public policy, strategic operations, and research-driven program development. Most recently, she served as Chief Strategy and Operations Officer at the Future Skills Centre, where she led the operational implementation of a $375 million national initiative to support workforce development. Her career spans senior roles at the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario and the Council of Ministers of Education, where she drove innovation and impact in education and social policy.
"Fiona's deep expertise in public systems and her collaborative leadership style make her the ideal person to guide CHCA into the future," said Vikas Sethi, Chair of the CHCA Board of Directors. "She brings a strategic mindset and a commitment to meaningful change that aligns perfectly with our mission to strengthen integrated home care, primary care and community services across Canada."
The CHCA Board extends its gratitude to outgoing CEO Nadine Henningsen, whose visionary leadership positioned the association as a national voice in advancing integrated and compassionate home care. Nadine's legacy includes launching key initiatives such as the National Principles for Home Care, the SPRINT Implementation Collaborative™ and championing the voice of family caregivers across Canada.
As the CHCA looks to the future, it will continue to lead national efforts to expand access to high-quality home care, advance integrated models of care, and support the development of a sustainable, skilled health workforce. With the upcoming launch of the Enhanced Framework for Integrated People-Centred Care and the continuation of groundbreaking initiatives like Project ECHO, the Association is poised for transformative impact.
"Fiona's appointment marks an exciting new chapter for the CHCA," said Jo-Anne Poirier, Incoming Chair of the CHCA Board and President and CEO of VON Canada. "Her experience and leadership will strengthen our ability to deliver on our vision—ensuring all Canadians have access to the compassionate, coordinated care they need at home and in their communities."

Formula 1 drives spectators to Montreal this weekend
Article content Bulls-of-the-Week Article content This is the weekend of the single biggest annual sport tourism event in Canada: The Canadian Grand Prix of Formula 1 automobile racing in Montreal. It reaches its climax Sunday at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Île Notre-Dame, but not before attracting more than 300,000 spectators and generating government tax revenues north of $17 million, with a projected economic impact of $162 million, including approximately $110 million driven by visitors from outside of Quebec. Article content Article content Some economists believe such marquee events have a net economic impact of zero, suggesting there are few full-time permanent jobs created. They also point out that tax revenues are nearly offset by the cost of public funding through government grants and sponsorships. Yet the eyeball test is always a helpful assessment, and there is no denying the spike in hotel rooms, restaurant visits and merchandising sales this weekend in Montreal — not to mention the increasingly large television audiences that F1 is registering in North America and around the world, especially in Europe and Asia. Article content Article content That kind of exposure drives incremental tourism dollars throughout the year, all pumping up the gross domestic product of the Quebec economy — some say to the tune of $67.4 million per year. Article content It's also been a bullish week for the Toronto Blue Jays, who go into a tough weekend series against the Philadelphia Phillies with eight wins in their last 10 starts and tied for the third-best record in the American League and sixth-best in Major League Baseball. More impressively for a ballclub that was the poster child of inconsistency throughout the first six weeks of the regular season, the Jays are on a 22-10 run and have the best record in baseball over the past month. Article content Article content Article content For most sports fans in North America, however, the most important content being generated this week relates to the one-two punch that is the NHL Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the defending champion Florida Panthers, as well as the NBA Finals pitting the Oklahoma City Thunder against the Indiana Pacers. The NBA series has added story angles and fan hooks given four Canadians on the two teams, including MVP Shai Gilgeous Alexander. Article content Short sidebar on the Panthers: With the Abbotsford Canucks playing the Florida affiliate — the Charlotte Checkers — in the championship series, they are the first organization since 2008 that has had teams in the Stanley Cup and Calder Cup finals in the same year. The Pittsburgh Penguins and Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins made it 17 years ago, but neither won.
