Steve Bishop, Board Chair ErinoakKids Centre for Treatment and Development, is pleased today to announce that Chris Hartley has been named the new President and CEO, ErinoakKids. Chris has served as the interim Chief Operating Officer for the organization since long-time CEO Bridget Fewtrell announced her retirement in July 2023.

“Chris has a long history with ErinoakKIds and a deep understanding of what this organization means to the community it serves,” said Steve. “After a successful six months of interim leadership, the Board is confident in Chris’ clear vision for the future of ErinoakKids. We thank her for her skilled and expert leadership to date, and we thank the staff of ErinoakKids for their continued commitment to the families of Peel, Halton, Dufferin and beyond.”

ErinoakKids supports clients and families at every step as they access medical, therapeutic and support services for children with physical and developmental disabilities, autism and communications disorders. As the largest Children’s Treatment Centre in Ontario, serving more than 29,000 children, youth and their families last year, we rely on our dedicated staff to provide care that focuses on the strengths and resilience of our clients and those who care for them.
