Leo B. Doyle is a retired public service executive with a distinguished career in senior roles across various sectors, including Crown-Indigenous Relations, Canadian Heritage, the National Film Board, and the Privy Council Office.

He serves as the chair of Eastern Ontario Basketball and is the founder of the Ottawa Basketball Network (OBN), an advocacy group focused on promoting basketball and ensuring equitable access to opportunities that facilitate youth and community development. Leo’s use of basketball as a platform that transcends sport is recognized and acknowledged in award-winning New York University professor David Hollander’s 2023 book: How Basketball Can Save the World. It's also profiled in the Toronto Star’s account of how Leo and Professor Hollander worked with Canada’s UN Ambassador, Bob Rae, to help create “World Basketball Day,” a United Nation’s International Day of observance that commemorates James Naismith’s contribution to humanity.

In addition to his work with OBN, Doyle volunteers with Indigenous Sport and Wellness Ontario and sits on the boards of the Ottawa Shooting Stars Basketball Club and Nutrition Blocs, a non-profit organization dedicated to combating food insecurity among school-aged children in Ottawa.

Doyle’s passion for basketball was ignited by the 1976 Montreal Olympics. He later pursued higher education at renowned basketball institutions, earning a bachelor’s degree from St. Francis Xavier University and a master’s degree from Carleton University.
