The college's head is Charles McVety, a renowned anti-LGBTQ and sex-ed actor who is also known to be anti-Semitism, is friends with Ontario Premier Dough Ford. Ford faced a backlash when he introduced legislation to make the college a university before it had been properly reviewed by the independent accreditation body. Critics said Ford was repaying a friend for a favour by "legitimizing hate and discrimination." Canada Christian College has an event space that is frequently the host for socially conservative/anti-LGBTQ events, including "The Great Canadian Awakening" and "Protecting Women's Spaces In The Age of Transgenderism". It also housed the Institute for Canadian Values which ran anti-trans ads in the National Post - which the National Post apologized for.
