We are deeply saddened to share the passing of John McNutt, Executive Director of the Council for Persons with Disabilities, on April 17, 2026.

John was a tireless advocate for accessibility, inclusion, and opportunity. Through his leadership with the Council for Persons with Disabilities, he championed meaningful change—working to remove systemic barriers and create pathways for individuals with disabilities to fully participate in their communities. His work helped shift perspectives, influence systems, and ensure that inclusion was not just an idea, but a reality for many.

Throughout his life, John was dedicated to building stronger, more inclusive communities. Whether through advancing employment opportunities, supporting community-based initiatives, or bringing partners together across sectors, his impact was both profound and far-reaching.

We also join our family at Junior Achievement Northern and Eastern Ontario, where John served as President and CEO for more than two decades, in mourning this tremendous loss and celebrating a life of lasting impact.

John’s legacy is one of compassion, leadership, and unwavering commitment to others—particularly those who have historically faced barriers. His influence will continue to be felt in the lives he touched and the communities he helped shape.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to John’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

Rest in peace, John.
