CALGARY SPEAKER’S BIO:

Nigel Pollock is the recently appointed president of InterVarsity Canada. He comes to us with a heart for and experience in both camp and campus ministry. He became a Christian as a teenager at summer camp in Scotland, where he was born and raised. As a university student, he joined the University and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF) in Aberdeen and then, upon graduation, began to work for the movement. He continued in various roles with UCCF for 18 years until he and his wife, Ailsa and their three sons moved to New Zealand to lead the movement there. While the Tertiary Student Christian Fellowship (TSCF) does not own camps, they do run family, student and alumni camps. Nigel has also been involved in organizing and leading many camps over the years and is looking forward to re-engaging with this ministry in Canada.

Nigel brings with him 30 years of collaborative and team-oriented leadership experience, along with a passion for evangelism and a love of teaching Scripture. He has written two IVP books, “The Relationships Revolution” (1998) and “Unconditional” (2002). Nigel is also an award winning and highly trained sports coach who integrates his love of sports with his love of the Gospel.

Nigel and Ailsa’s three sons live in New Zealand. His eldest son, Luke, 24, met his wife Roxanne while they were both working at Pioneer Camp Alberta (Sundre) a couple of summers ago. Jamie, 22, and Craig, 19, are both in university in New Zealand.

EDMONTON SPEAKER’S BIO:

Hogan Brimacombe grew up in the Peace Country in northern Alberta and now calls Edmonton, Alberta home. In his 8th year of campus work with InterVarsity Canada at the University of Alberta, he is known for his infectious hope in what people can become through the gifts of God.

Alongside his wife, Priscilla, and their three boys, Hogan has been directing Sr. Boys camp for the last five years and loves to share his passion for the great adventure of following Jesus. In an initiative called “Pioneer in the City”, Hogan has been working to form connections with campers throughout the year back in Edmonton to help sustain their spiritual growth.
