About HCRA

The Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) is a not-for-profit corporation designated by the Ontario government to administer and enforce the New Home Construction Licensing Act, 2017 and associated regulations. The HCRA’s mandate is to protect consumers and support good builders. The HCRA holds licensed builders to professional standards, protects the public interest, and enhances consumer confidence in the homebuilding industry in Ontario. In addition, HCRA strives to educate consumers to ensure that they can make informed decisions and understand the benefits of a regulated homebuilding sector. As one of Ontario’s newest regulators, HCRA is dedicated to providing the highest level of service to new home buyers and licensed builders.

Role of the Board

The HCRA Board is responsible for ensuring that the organization’s mandate is carried out effectively and efficiently on behalf of Ontarians. In addition, the Board shapes our strategic direction, provides financial oversight, supports outreach and advocacy, and serves as an ambassador for the HCRA and our mission.

To Qualify

We are seeking two qualified individuals from the new home construction industry to join our Board of Directors. Candidates will be existing licensees with the HCRA (either directly, or as a principal, director or officer of a corporate licensee) and bring a strategic, governance-focused approach to their roles, demonstrating a commitment to proactive consumer protection, excellence in participation, and a willingness to support the HCRA’s statutory mandate, mission, vision, and values.

In this recruitment, the Board is particularly interested in candidates who bring strong financial knowledge and acumen (e.g., experience in audit, financial oversight and planning, investment, accounting, risk management, or compliance) in addition to their industry expertise.

In addition to these core qualifications, we seek individuals with a broad spectrum of knowledge and experience in areas such as governance, risk management, strategic planning, and more, to complement the existing strengths of our Board.
