Jon Samuel Dellandrea, (born October 8, 1949) is a Canadian author and art historian, and a former hospital foundation executive and university executive and educator. He is a senior fellow at Massey College, chair emeritus of the Art Canada Institute, and a Member of the Order of Canada. The CEO of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre Foundation in Toronto from 2012 to 2021, Dellandrea has formerly held the positions of pro-vice-chancellor (development and external affairs) at the University of Oxford, and vice president of advancement at the University of Toronto, and was chancellor of Nipissing University from 2006 to 2012. Biography Dellandrea was raised in Northern Ontario, Canada. His father Aubrey was a Plymouth Brethren preacher who in the 1960s started the Heavenly Sunshine Broadcast. He attended high school in North Bay, Ontario, where he met his wife, Lyne Edwards. They married shortly before moving to Toronto, where they both attended the University of Toronto, where he played Canadian football and was drafted by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 1972 CFL Draft. Dellandrea received his BA (English literature) from Scarborough College, both his MEd and EdD from the University of Toronto (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education). (He would later also receive an honorary degree from Oxford University.) The couple moved to Waterloo, Ontario, in 1979 to raise their two sons, Matthew and Brendan, and for Dellandrea to take a position at the University of Waterloo. During this time, Dellandrea took on a central development role, culminating in his appointment to the newly created position of vice-president of university development in 1983. After serving Waterloo, Dellandrea spent five years as president of the Mount Sinai Hospital Foundation. In 1994 Dellandrea returned to the University of Toronto to serve as its vice-president and chief advancement officer, a position he held for 11 years.
