Gord Johnston

Managing Director

Gord Johnston, a co-founder of Ratio Strategy, brings more than three decades of public service experience spanning multiple levels of government. Most recently, he served as CEO of Civida, one of Canada's largest not-for-profit providers of deeply affordable rental housing, and has held senior executive roles with the Government of Alberta, including Assistant Deputy Minister positions across a range of province-wide portfolios.

His deep understanding of government, governance, and regulatory environments has allowed him to consistently lead large, complex organizations to strong, community-aligned outcomes. At Civida, he guided a large-scale transformation that earned national recognition for corporate culture, dramatically increased the availability of affordable housing, expanded resident supports, and improved customer satisfaction.

Gord advises developers and housing organizations on government relations, regulatory strategy, and governance, with a consistent focus on delivering complex capital projects on time and on budget.
