Victor Anthony (Vic) Fedeli (born August 8, 1956) is a politician in Ontario, Canada. He is the Progressive Conservative MPP for Nipissing, PC Finance Critic, an Honorary Colonel for the Algonquin Regiment and former mayor of North Bay, Ontario serving from 2003 to 2010.
Fedeli was born and raised in North Bay to Lena (née Fava) Fedeli and Hub Fedeli. Fedeli is of Italian ancestry and maintains close ties to the North Bay Italian-Canadian community. After completing high school at Scollard Hall he attended Nipissing University for business and Conestoga College where he studied Visual Communications. Fedeli and his wife Patty (née Kelly) reside in Corbeil, Ontario.
In 1978 Fedeli returned to North Bay and opened Fedeli Advertising, at the time the only full-service marketing agency in Ontario north of Barrie. In 1989 Profit - the magazine for Small Business ranked the firm 34th on its list of 50 Best Places to Work in Canada. Fedeli was also recognized as one of Canada's Most Successful Entrepreneurs in an episode of MoneyMakers, hosted by Everett Banning. Fedeli Advertising was sold in 1992.
Fedeli served 10 terms on the board of the North Bay and District Chamber of Commerce, including as president in 1986. He has also served as director with Global Vision and the provincial government's Northern Businesses Support System. When the federal government moved 414 Squadron from Canadian Forces Base North Bay in 1992, most of the facilities were deemed surplus. While part of the complex was demolished, some of the base’s airfield facilities were sold to the non-profit Air Base Property Corporation in 1996, of which Fedeli served as the dollar-a-year chairman from inception until 2002. This period included a lawsuit against the Canadian government which resulted in a $3 million award to ABPC. The court settlement allowed the corporation to repair, enhance and market the property, as well as reimburse Fedeli for expenses he had incurred personally to keep ABPC alive. In large part because of his work with the ABPC Fedeli was named North Bay’s Citizen of the Year in 1999. Fedeli has also received the Rotary International Paul Harris Fellowship in 1999, and was awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee medal in 2002.
