Nessie Hollander

Nessie was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and was a hair stylist before she immigrated to Canada with her husband and four children in August of 1977. Working part-time for Eatons, she completed a management course and became a buyer for the cosmetics and ladies accessories department. Nessie was employed there for 17 years but because they permanently closed, she moved on to Paper Trail as a home decor buyer for the next seven years. In May 2005, Nessie joined the JCC overseeing the membership department for six years. Since 2011, she has taken on the role of Golden Age Manager – actively caring, engaging, and planning for our community’s seniors population. Next to her Golden Age group, Nessie’s passions are cooking, baking, and doing special events.
