Sue Graham-Nutter, CEO, Rekai Centres and Past Chair of AdvantAge Ontario

As the CEO of the Rekai Centres ,which owns and operates two Long-Term Care homes in downtown Toronto, Sue Graham-Nutter not only oversees both homes, but is also working to build a new home at Front and Cherry St.

Once the new Rekai Centre at Cherry Place is open, it is the goal of the Rekai Centre to repupose the Sherbourne site to become Supportive Housing.

“Making a difference in society has always driven me,” she says. “We want to see individuals housed appropriately. The needs of individuals living with mental health, substance abuse or addiction issues, are very different than a senior experiencing dementia. The Rekai Centres is in a fortunate position owning real estate in the downtown core and having a public policy oriented Board of Directors.”

A graduate of the University of Toronto, Humber College and Harvard University, Sue is the Vice Chair of AdvantAgeOntario.

She is also the Chair of the Toronto Public Library, and a Board member of the Business Board for the University of Toronto.
