Click on the highlighted links to download the draft agenda, minutes from the previous meeting and this month’s reports that were submitted in advance. We will be changing the way our meetings will be conducted so there will be less of an emphasis on administrative issues, and more of a focus on important community updates and discussion.
The Board of Directors will be reporting back on their recent Planning Retreat, announcing new Standing Committees, meeting dates for 2019 and exciting ideas for a 2019 action plan. There will be lots of ways for residents to get involved!
Councillor Riley Brockington has been invited to present an update on important issues for our community. Hope to see you there!

RPCRA Welcomes New Director: Paul Willetts
The RPCRA is proud to welcome Paul Willetts to the Board of Directors. This marks the first time in over five years that the Board has filled every one of the 10 director positions.
And Paul is an excellent addition to the team.
Paul is an employment and labour lawyer who has lived in Riverside East with his wife and young daughter since 2016. He also sits on the board of directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa.
“I am interested in joining the RPCRA board in order to take a more active role in our community and to help safeguard its development. In particular, I am interested in encouraging increased RPCRA membership and contributing to the ongoing dialogue around positive and sustainable commercial and residential development in our neighbourhood.”
