OTTAWA and NORTH BAY – J.L. Richards & Associates Limited (JLR) is pleased to announce the appointment of internal candidates to two leadership positions within the firm.
JLR congratulates Karla Ferrey, P.Eng., on her appointment as Manager, Planning & Development in the Ottawa Civil/Planning department.

Her extensive experience, capable leadership, and technical execution paves the way for a new chapter in the department as manager.
”I was born in Nicaragua and my family immigrated to Canada when I was a young girl. Being able to dream big and become a professional engineer in Canada has been such a blessing,” says Ferrey. “I’m so grateful for the 15 years of mentorship I have received at JLR, especially from the past leadership. I’m excited for this new adventure and the opportunity to continue to lead such a devoted group of professionals working for some of the most amazing clients. I’m looking forward to being part of the continued success of the Ottawa Planning & Development group.”
JLR is also proud to announce the appointment of Rikki-Lynn Dubien, P.Eng., as Manager, North Bay Office. Dubien is also a JLR veteran and recently moved back to her hometown of North Bay. She has a unique cross-sectional view of JLR, having worked in both Ottawa and North Bay offices with multiple disciplines.
