Ottawa Humane Society President & CEO Inducted Into Order of Ottawa

Nov. 5, 2020 — The Ottawa Humane Society is proud to announce Bruce Roney, OHS President & CEO, has been inducted into the Order of Ottawa.

Bruce has served as the President & CEO of the OHS since 2000 and is a champion for animal welfare in Ottawa, provincially and nationally.

“It is an incredible honour,” Bruce said. “But no one achieves an honour like this on their own. So many talented and committed people at the OHS have made this possible.”

Among his achievements, Bruce was instrumental in the construction of the OHS’s state-of-the-art animal shelter on West Hunt Club Road — leading a multi-year fundraising campaign for the project.

Under his leadership, the OHS increased its capacity and helps more than 8,000 animals each year. He led the implementation of numerous programs that support animal welfare and adoption, educate pet owners to ensure humane treatment of animals and encourage youth to play leading roles in the effort.

The OHS is one of only two humane societies in Canada accredited by Imagine Canada, requiring the OHS to meet rigorous standards of governance and management annually.
