Director Area 1: General Vanier
(Oct. 2021-Oct. 2025)
Originally from Luxembourg, Gabriel moved to Ottawa in 2014 and to the Riverside Park neighbourhood in 2017 with his wife and grumpy cat. With the pandemic, an energetic lab and a new baby at home, Gabriel had the opportunity to spend more time exploring the neighbourhood and meeting neighbours. That’s also how he first heard of the Community Association and grew interested in getting involved to make sure this remains one of the best neighbourhoods to live in Ottawa.

Rob Vanden Hoven, Director
Director Area 2: Mooney’s Bay
Oct 2022 – Oct 2025
My family has been a part of the Riverside Park community for more than 15 years and we love to enjoy outdoor activities in the area.
I became a RPCA Director last year as I have an interest in ensuring the community outdoor rinks continue to thrive. Over the past year, I supported the rink operators and volunteers who kept the rinks running. I would like to continue to provide my support as a Director in the coming year.
You can usually catch me walking around or playing in the parks in the Mooney’s Bay area.

John Vaissi Nagy has lived in Riverside Park for over 26 years, where with his spouse Riitta they have raised two children. A retired federal government lawyer, John wants to give back to the beautiful neighbourhood that has been so good to them.

Dave Coyle, President
Director Area 5: Revelstoke
Oct 2021 – Oct 2025
As a young, Ottawa-Toronto-Montreal professional couple, we moved our family into the Mooney’s Bay neighborhood some 40 years ago. Raising our family of 6 within the Riverside Park Community was ideal, to now, challenging again, to be extended into USA communities, in order to find meaningful careers.
