Our Team
We are a people of faith, a community of hope and servants of love. This is the Board of Directors moving our mission forward.
Katie Trombley
Executive Director, CityKidz Ottawa
Katie is a proud wife, and mom of two energetic boys who keep life fun and full of adventure. She has a heart for ministry, community outreach, and walking alongside families and children to help them thrive. Over the past 10+ years, Katie has served in a variety of roles—including Business Manager, Student Ministries Pastor, Program Facilitator, and Summer Camps Director—each shaping her passion for building strong, supportive communities.
When she’s not working, you’ll most likely find Katie cheering from the sidelines at a hockey or soccer game, coaching, hiking, playing games, or simply making memories with her family and friends.
Katie is excited to bring her love for ministry and community together in her role as Executive Director at CityKidz Ottawa, where she is eager to inspire hope and create opportunities for children and families across the city.
Meet Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors bring insight, passion, and a wealth of knowledge to their role as stewards of CityKidz Ottawa’s mission.
Les Brown
Chair
As a member of his church’s Governing Council, Les enjoyed working with teams to collaborate and accomplish challenging organizational and spiritual growth projects. Through his volunteer work with FaithWalk and as a Sunday School teacher, Les has come to believe that kids need to experience meaningful successes as they grow up, and CityKidz has a key role in that success.
Cheryl Nugent
Member
Cheryl was introduced to CityKidz Ottawa in 2017 when she was invited to the Fall Gala. Since then, she remains impressed with the passion CityKidz has for building into the lives of the children and families in Ottawa. This includes the junior leadership program which continues to mentor teens who have graduated from CityKidz. Cheryl brings her training and experience in helping local charities plan events to the CityKidz board.
Marsha O'Brien
Member
Marsha started as a volunteer in 2018 and quickly fell in love with the CityKidz mission and their dedication to build into the children‘s lives. With a degree in Early Childhood Education and being a leader of her church’s Children Ministry, Marsha sees how the importance of faith and hope can have a huge impact on a child’s life and how CityKidz plays a big role in every child that walks through their doors.
