Dear Friends, Community Partners, and Stakeholders,
We are delighted to welcome back Mohamed Sofa into the role of Executive Director at the Britannia Woods Community House (BWCH)!
As you all know, Mohamed is no stranger to the BWCH. Mohamed served as Executive Director from 2016 until 2020.
Mohamed is a trusted social services and community leader in Ottawa with over 12 years of leadership and management experience. He brings to us over 20 years of knowledge and insight into the community development and social services experience. A natural connector and consensus builder, Mohamed has worked with many organizations, donors, funders, grassroots community groups, political and civic institutions to build partnerships and strategies that work for residents. Most recently at United Way of Eastern Ontario, Mohamed served as Director of Community Initiatives where he provided thought leadership and strategic guidance on UWEO’s Children and Youth Focus Area.
Under his leadership, BWCH was able to better serve the direct community of Britannia Woods and the west-end of Ottawa by cultivating a strong grassroots presence and championing community needs. Through his thoughtful, holistic, and foundational leadership, BWCH has significantly expanded service delivery in the areas of community development, food security, culturally appropriate and relevant mental wellbeing support, educational and job training programs to a diverse client base.
As our organization undergoes strategic planning and development during this time of recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic, we feel Mohamed’s skills and expertise will ensure the BWCH is on the path to sustainable growth and success. The BWCH Board, staff and the community are excited to have the opportunity and privilege to work with Mohamed again.
Mohamed will be fully transitioning into his role on October 11, 2022.

On behalf of the Britannia Woods Community House Board and staff,
Tricia Ross, Chair/President
