Aaron Nelson

Aaron is involved in almost everything active and outdoors from golfing, biking, hiking and trail-riding to hockey, skiing and snowboarding – and all powersports one can think of. He has a special appreciation for traveling to experience different cultures and food, but Aaron notes how fast the world is changing; Just being outside and leaving the screen time behind seems to be quite appealing to him now more than ever.

Having a strong Business & Marketing background has allowed Aaron to move into various positions over the past two decades. He has worked in Regional and Business Development Management as a Senior Account Manager and VP of Sales and Marketing for a number of large automotive suppliers and manufactures.

Giving back to the community is also important to Aaron. He previously coached Midget “A” hockey along with dedicating time to yearly events put on by the Stollery Children’s Hospital and noted how much of an eye-opener it is to the support their communities and families really require. He has a strong passion about supporting local business and their charity events through volunteering his time and experience in order to help meet some of their goals.

Councillor Nelson was elected to Ward 5 in October 2021 and looks forward to representing the interests of rural Strathcona County during his time on Council.
