Last week, OXA Alumni Program participants Jim Tugwell, formerly of CFRA and CHUM Radio, and Ron Campbell, formerly of Capital Cleaning Solutions, joined us for an engaging interview session led by Thom Bourne of Nutri-lawn Ottawa. Thom introduced Jim and Ron, who reflected on their time with the Ottawa Executives’ Association and their proudest career achievements. They discussed their retirement transition, sharing tools and strategies for planning, and offered insights into the challenges and lifestyle changes they faced. Both emphasized the importance of staying connected through community groups, clubs, or volunteering to ease the transition from a work-focused life to retirement. The session concluded with a lively Q&A, where Jim and Ron answered members’ questions and provided valuable advice for those nearing retirement.
