About R&A
Founded in 1996 by Tony and Jennifer Redmond, Redmond & Associates started as a small, family-run business in Oshawa, Ontario.

Through hard work and perseverance, the company began to experience success, leading to a significant growth trajectory. Recognizing the need for expansion, Tony and Jennifer made the strategic decision to relocate the company to Mississauga, Ontario.
Today, Redmond & Associates stands tall in its impressive 37,000 square foot facility located on Nashua Dr in Mississauga, Ontario.
