About the RA
In six decades of dedicated service, tens of thousands have enjoyed the benefits of recreation, sport, fitness and the pleasure of gathering with colleagues. Some have joined to improve their health. Others have come to meet new friends in a community of like-minded people. Still others enjoy donating their time and energy to build strong Association programs.

Whatever the motivation, those who have participated in the RA over the years have discovered a superb organization with excellent facilities, dynamic programming and wonderful people.

What is the RA?
The RA Centre is the country’s largest recreation, sport, fitness and leisure centre of its kind: one that offers a combination of exciting programs and exceptional services that attract a diverse membership of over 27,500 members.

Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and operated by a small but highly qualified staff and hundreds of volunteers, the RA is recognized as Canada’ finest fitness and lifestyle centre.

The RA Centre is 23,000m² (250,000 sq. ft) of indoor facilities and a multitude of outdoor sports installations set on 13.6 hectare (32 acres). Located alongside the Rideau River about 10 minutes from the Parliament buildings, this Riverside Drive location in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada makes the RA easily accessible from all parts of the region
