In Loving Memory of Lesley Nagoda

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Lesley Nagoda, our esteemed CEO, visionary leader, and tireless advocate for community well-being.

Lesley joined SHIP on January 30, 2006, and over 19 remarkable years, she dedicated herself to transforming lives and strengthening communities through compassionate leadership. Since becoming CEO in 2022, Lesley led with heart, vision, and an unshakable commitment to SHIP’s mission, building strong relationships, achieving meaningful milestones, and always putting people first.

Professionally, Lesley was a powerhouse. Personally, she was a beacon of kindness and courage. She embodied SHIP’s values in everything she did, leaving an indelible mark on our staff, clients, and community partners. Her legacy is one of love, strength, and service.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Lesley’s family, friends, and all who had the honour of working alongside her. We will carry her spirit forward in the work we do each day.

Rest in peace, Lesley. You will be so deeply missed. 💙
