Dr. Janine Hubbard has been elected by the CPA Board of Directors to the position of CPA President and Chair of the Board for the 2026-2027 term. Dr. Hubbard will bring clinical experience, supervisory experience, leadership, and boundless energy to the role.
Dr. Hubbard is based in St. John’s, NL, where she works as a Pediatric Psychologist at the local children’s hospital, runs a small private practice, and teaches and supervises Psychology graduate students at Memorial University of Newfoundland. She has been heavily involved in numerous psychology organizations, including as a board member at the CPA, in various capacities for many years. On the local and provincial level she has served in virtually every capacity imaginable, including as a Director on the regulatory board and Association of Psychologists in Newfoundland Labrador President.
In the last few years, Dr. Hubbard has increased her local impact, and extended that impact beyond the borders of Newfoundland. Appearing regularly on the TV and radio news segments her neighbours consume, she has become a comforting voice to many and a passionate voice promoting the science and multifaceted nature of psychology. So successful were those radio and TV appearances that Dr. Hubbard is now in demand across Canada, raising the profile of psychology nationally.
We offer Dr. Hubbard our heartfelt congratulations, and welcome her to a different kind of national platform. We look forward to working with her even more closely in the year to come.
