Take best quality for Primary Care Mental Health Physical Therapy Home Care

As Chief Executive Officer based in Sudbury, Ontario, I bring over 25 years of experience in supervision, leadership, and management. I hold a Bachelor of Science from McMaster University and have always been passionate about building strong teams, driving strategic growth, and leading with purpose.

Throughout my career, I’ve developed a solid foundation in executive leadership, strategic planning, and operational execution. I’m certified in leadership development and known for navigating complex challenges with a collaborative and results-driven approach.

Some of my most notable achievements include leading successful organizational transformations, launching high-impact community initiatives, and mentoring emerging leaders who have gone on to excel in their own careers. I take pride in fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and long-term vision.

Outside of work, I’m a big sports fan—especially when it comes to cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays and Raptors. I love watching my children and family in their activities like martial arts, basketball, and volleyball, and I truly value quality family time, whether we’re relaxing at home or enjoying time away together.

I’m incredibly excited about the future of the company and the opportunities ahead. With the incredible team we’ve assembled, I’m confident we’ll continue to grow, innovate, and make a lasting impact.

As the Vice President of Client and Employee Relations, I bring over 30 years of experience as a business owner and leader. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of building and running companies alongside my long-time business partner, Maneesh. What drives me most is creating meaningful connections—whether with clients, colleagues, or teams—and fostering a workplace where people feel valued, heard, and empowered.
Over the years, I’ve developed a strong foundation in business operations, people management, and relationship-building. My leadership style is rooted in trust, communication, and a commitment to continuous growth—for myself and those around me.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about fitness, lifelong learning, and staying active. As a fun fact, I earned the title of First-Degree Black Belt in Kuk Sool Won, a traditional Korean martial art. The practice has brought incredible discipline and balance into my life—values I carry with me through every stage of my personal and professional journey. I also enjoy reading, being in nature, and spending time at camp, where I find time to recharge and reflect.

I bring over 25 years of experience in the home care sector, having started my career as a receptionist and steadily working my way up through hard work, dedication, and a passion for leadership. In 1996, I earned my certification in accounting, and since then, I’ve built a career rooted in compassion, operational excellence, and a strong commitment to community-based care.

What drives me every day is the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable populations. I believe that meaningful change happens when we lead with empathy, collaborate openly, and stay connected to the communities we serve. At Canadian Shield Health Care Services, I’m proud to play a key role in shaping our clinical operations and maintaining high standards of care across both home health and clinic services.

Outside of work, I find peace and inspiration in the outdoors. Whether I’m camping, sitting by a fire, or simply enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, nature is where I recharge. I also enjoy cooking and relaxing with a good game of Candy Crush.

My goal is to continue growing—within my role, my team, and this organization—always striving to be a better version of myself tomorrow than I am today.

I’ve been with the company since 2018, and my journey here has been one of growth, learning, and evolving alongside the team. I started out handling general office work, and over time, I carved out my place in both Human Resources and Marketing—two areas that align perfectly with my academic background and where I feel I can make the most impact.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Laurentian University, where I specialized in Law & Justice and Marketing, graduating cum laude. I’ve also completed a certificate in Strategic Human Resources Leadership from Cornell University, which gave me valuable insights into how to lead people, build culture, and think strategically within an organization.

Outside of work, I’m all about movement, exploration, and living fully in the moment. I’ve been training in martial arts since I was three years old at KMAC Sudbury, where I’m now a main instructor and currently working toward my third-degree black belt. I’m naturally adventurous—whether I’m traveling somewhere new, trying something I’ve never done before, or just stepping outside of my comfort zone. I believe growth happens when we challenge ourselves, and that mindset carries through everything I do.

I bring over 20 years of experience in the Business Intelligence and Innovation (BII) field, and I’ve been part of Canadian Shield Health Care Services since 2023. I started as the company’s first Corporate Analyst and the very first member of the BII department. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of leading and growing this team into a strategic part of the organization’s success.

Now, as Director of Business Intelligence and Innovations, I focus on driving data-informed decision-making, advancing internal systems, and delivering innovative solutions that align with the company’s vision and values. I'm passionate about using technology and insights to support meaningful progress.

Outside of work, I value time with my family—whether I’m teaching my son about our shared passion for coding and business intelligence, chasing around my energetic three-year-old, or enjoying quiet moments with my wife. I'm enjoy learning more about our Northern community, I find great purpose in giving back and staying connected to the people around me.

Based at the Sudbury Head Office, I’m a Registered Practical Nurse with 20 years of experience, currently serving as a Clinical Home Support Supervisor at Canadian Shield Health Care Services Inc. In my role, I support home health operations across the region and take pride in contributing to the delivery of high-quality, community-based care.

I work closely with Lucie Parenteau, our Director of Home Health and Clinic Nursing, and I’m actively involved in recruitment and clinical oversight—participating in PSW interviews, candidate evaluations, and mentoring new team members. With a strong presence in the HHCN department, I focus on maintaining clear, consistent communication and supporting daily operational updates to keep our teams informed and connected.

Outside of work, I have a deep passion for travel and love immersing myself in new places and cultures. I also enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. At home, I’m a proud and devoted animal lover—my energetic boxer dogs keep me laughing, active, and always on my toes.

I currently serve as the Interim Director of Care at Canadian Shield Health Care Services while pursuing my third year of medical school. With aspirations to become an orthopedic surgeon, I’m deeply committed to advancing my clinical knowledge and continuing to grow as both a healthcare professional and a leader within this organization.

My journey in healthcare has been hands-on and progressive. I began as a Personal Support Worker (PSW), gradually transitioned into nursing, and eventually took on the role of Interim Director of Care. I also bring hospital-based experience as an Operating Room Nurse, where I’ve gained valuable insight into surgical care and multidisciplinary collaboration. This diverse experience—from frontline support to leadership and surgical settings—has shaped my understanding of the entire continuum of care and deepened my respect for every role within the healthcare system.

Outside of my clinical and academic responsibilities, I make time for the things that keep me centered. I enjoy reading, going for long drives, staying active at the gym, and spending quality time with family and friends. These are the moments that ground me, fuel my motivation, and remind me why I chose this path.

I am a Registered Nurse with a strong academic and clinical background, holding both a bachelor's and a master's degree in nursing, with a specialization in Pediatrics. To further enhance my understanding of healthcare systems and leadership, I also completed a Healthcare Administration program in Canada.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work across various areas of nursing, including pediatric care, community health, surgical nursing, and geriatric care in nursing home settings. My experience working closely with the elderly population has strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care tailored to the unique needs of older adults.

Alongside my clinical practice, I’ve been actively involved in nursing education as a clinical instructor and academic tutor. Contributing to the growth and development of future nurses is something I value deeply. I’ve also had the privilege of publishing an article in the Indian Journal of Continuing Nursing Education, which reflects my ongoing interest in academic scholarship and evidence-based practice.

I am passionate about advancing healthcare through education, research, and collaborative practice. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to the nursing profession by fostering clinical excellence, supporting interdisciplinary teamwork, and promoting a culture of continuous learning in healthcare environments.

My name is Emelie Aubertin, I am a bilingual Registered Social Service Worker who has a strong passion for mental health and wellness that stems from my work empowering marginalized individuals and groups. Early in my career, I worked with individuals with intellectual disabilities and motivated them to live fulfilling lives. I continued my career as a counsellor, focusing on advocating for vulnerable women and empowering them to break free from challenging situations. Mental health has become a central focus in my professional journey, and I approach my work with a solution-focused mindset that meets clients where they are in their journey. Beyond my professional endeavors, I love all animals but dislike insects. I also like going on adventures, especially camping, because it allows me to constantly learn, grow, and unwind without a cell phone. My philosophy on life revolves around the belief that taking care of one’s mental health is a profound act of self-love and self-care.

I would first like to say that I am very honoured to have so many amazingly skilled people to collaborate with every single day. It is the supportive, progressive, inclusive work that we do — the innovative approach and expansive skillsets — that has me energetic and fired up to come to work daily!

As a Registered Social Worker, I have worked in a variety of settings and in a variety of roles that has allowed me to build the knowledge and skillset required to provide comprehensive services based on best-practice and industry standards. I provide services across the entire age spectrum.

My current role affords me the opportunity to provide crisis intervention services, generalized social work, mental health assessment, leadership coaching, organizational process improvement, quality improvement, life coaching, and psychotherapy services to all staff and their respective family members. I also believe adjunct therapies – such as brain entrainment (light & sound therapy), massage therapy, acupuncture, and Reiki – can help support someone in their wellness journey.

I employ a holistic lens – coupled with a wholistic approach – with a combination of various approaches such as Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy; tenets of CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness are also utilized. A strength-based approach coupled with a motivational interview style helps to support individuals in identifying, clarifying, and achieving their goals.

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors wandering in the bush with a camera or on the water in a kayak (a new passion so thank you Covid for that!), flea markets, antique markets and jazz festivals are among my varied interests.

It is a distinct pleasure to work with this team and with you, our Canadian Shield Health Care Services family!
