Concert Properties CEO and prominent B.C. business leader Christine Bergeron passed away on February 13, 2026, after a battle with cancer.
During her tenure as president and CEO from September 2023 to September 2025, Bergeron guided Concert Properties with purpose, confidence and passion through a pivotal period for the company.
A values-driven leader, she put sustainability, reconciliation, community impact and diversity, equity and inclusivity (DEI) at the centre of decision-making and helped embed ESG principles into our corporate priorities and operations.
Her thoughtful, inquisitive nature invited collaboration and new ideas and her ability to empower others elevated our organization.
“Christine was a rare and exceptional leader, whose professional brilliance was matched by her depth of character and belief in people. She asked the hard questions, listened deeply and challenged us not to simply deliver results, but to do so in a way that honours our values,” said John Dooling, interim chief executive officer, managing director & CFO.
Before joining Concert Properties, Bergeron served as president and CEO of Vancity, Canada’s largest credit union. Over a tenure spanning more than a decade, she progressed through a number of senior leadership roles before being appointed CEO. As CEO, she set a direction that emphasized social and environmental responsibility while overseeing record financial results in 2020 and 2021.
Bergeron was widely recognized for her leadership and sustainable business practices, with honours that include BC Business Woman of the Year, Business in Vancouver Influential Women in Business, BC500, BC Most Influential Women in Finance, Canada’s Clean16 and Vancouver Power 50. She was also a YWCA Women of Distinction nominee and earlier received the Rising Star Award from the Association of Women in Finance.
Bergeron served on nearly 20 boards and advisory councils. Most recently, she sat on the boards of the Vancouver Board of Trade and the Urban Development Institute. She also championed entrepreneurship and women’s leadership with the Women’s Enterprise Centre of BC, Small Business BC and SFU Radius Ventures.
“Christine’s passing has left a deep sense of loss across Concert Properties,” said Dooling. “She will be greatly missed by all of us who had the honour of knowing her.”
