The Canadian government has board openings at five Crown corporations related to housing and/or infrastructure. Qualified candidates are invited to apply for a directorship with Canada Infrastructure Bank, Canada Lands Company, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated or the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority.

Gregor Robertson, Canada’s Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, underscores the importance of private and public sector expertise at a time when the government has an ambitious agenda to boost housing supply, propel infrastructure projects that support economic development and sovereignty, and build compatibly with climate action goals.

“Canada needs to build housing and infrastructure faster and bolder than ever before,” he asserts. “Filling board of director positions with experienced, qualified and dedicated professionals from across public and private industry is an important part of this work.”

Directors will be expected to provide strategic oversight reflective of the applicable Crown corporation’s mandate for a term of up to four years. Candidates should have: a degree from a recognized university in a relevant discipline for the required tasks; professional credentials; experience serving on a board or at the senior executive level; and senior-level leadership experience in a field aligned with the Crown corporation’s mandate. Experience working within government and proficiency in both English and French will be viewed favourably.

Applications will be accepted until March 8, 2026. Submissions may also be considered for future positions with the planned new arm’s-length agency, Build Canada Homes.
