UPEI’s Tim Walker recognized as Fellow of Chartered Professional Accountants of New Brunswick
Tim Walker, Vice-President, Administration and Finance (VPAF) at UPEI, has been recognized as a Fellow of the Chartered Professional Accountants of New Brunswick (CPA NB). The award was presented to him at a special event held on February 21, 2026, in Moncton, New Brunswick.
The title of Fellow is intended to formally recognize Canadian and Bermudian CPAs who have rendered exceptional services to the profession, or whose achievements in their careers or within their community, have earned them distinction and brought honour to the CPA profession.
“I am deeply humbled by this honour. It was 30 years ago exactly, in 1996, that I passed my uniform final exam,” said Walker in his acceptance speech. “Like our journeys through studies and convocation, this Fellowship reflects an investment of time—sometimes a lot of time—spent away from our day jobs, and more importantly from our families, to serve the communities around us. Time is a precious resource, and sharing time is a powerful thing. For this reason, I would like to recognize my wife and our two daughters for their patience through decades while I was studying and serving my profession and my communities.”
Prior to joining the senior management team at UPEI in April 2025, Walker served as the Vice-President of Finance and Administration at New Brunswick Community College (NBCC), overseeing key areas including enterprise risk management, facilities and ancillary services, financial operations, information technology, and continuous improvement initiatives.
“On behalf of the UPEI community, I extend my warmest congratulations to Tim on being named a Fellow of CPA New Brunswick,” said Dr. Wendy Rodgers, UPEI President and Vice-Chancellor. “This distinguished honour recognizes not only exceptional service to the profession but also leadership, integrity, and a steadfast commitment to excellence. We are proud to see Tim’s professional achievements and community contributions acknowledged in this way, as they reflect the very values we strive to uphold as an institution and bring great honour to both the CPA profession and our University.”
