About the RA
RA CEO Tosha Rhodenizer to Step Down Later This Year 
After nine years as Chief Executive Officer, Tosha Rhodenizer steps away from the RA Centre as she relocates her family to Nova Scotia to support extended family.
​

“We are extremely grateful for all Tosha has done for the RA during her nine years with the Association”, states RA President, Karen Jackson. “Tosha has been a visionary in leading the RA through a multitude of complex projects and challenging situations. Her stellar leadership led to the creation of the House of Sport, Curling Centre of Excellence, and Pickleball Centre and was unparalleled in navigating the recent pandemic. The RA and the broader Ottawa community will miss Tosha dearly."   ​Read more...
