Program Manager

NIGEL HAND

Nigel joined Confederation Park 55+ in 2022 and has become an integral part of the Centre’s daily operations. He plays a key role in nearly every aspect of the organization, with a primary focus on program coordination and co-hosting the popular Tea & Conversation with Debbie sessions.

Nigel brings energy, creativity, and a deep commitment to building community through engaging programs and activities. His hands-on approach ensures members always feel welcomed and included.

Outside of work, Nigel enjoys unwinding at home playing guitar, spending time with his cats, and exploring the outdoors through hikes with friends. He’s a regular at local sporting events and laces up weekly for recreational hockey shinny. Known for his big heart (and big appetite), Nigel is always happy to help lighten the food load if there are leftovers around.

Dedicated to personal and professional growth, Nigel is actively upgrading his nonprofit sector education through ongoing coursework and training.
