Building a Better Community Together

About Me

My name is Nagmani Sharma, a proud resident of Kanata Carleton.

I immigrated to Canada from India in 2007 and have proudly been a Canadian citizen for many years. My journey spans multiple careers, all rooted in community service and making a difference.

My Background:

  • Matru Bhoomi (Birthplace) – India: My career began with the Chintamani Foundation, where I worked to empower rural communities through education and poverty alleviation. I also managed agricultural farming and later led the Research & Development department in the textile industry.
  • Karma Bhoomi (Workplace) – Canada: After moving here, I worked in various roles, from factory worker, retail and pizza delivery to teaching at the University of Manitoba and coordinating rehabilitation efforts in Winnipeg. I currently work as a Software Engineer at a reputable company in Kanata, Ottawa.

Community Involvement:

Since moving to Kanata, I have been deeply involved in community service and leadership roles:

  • Bridlewood Community Association: Volunteering as Vice President of Development, I bridge local resources with all levels of Canadian government to drive community growth. I organize  multicultural events, business support initiatives, food bank drives, and educational sessions. Feel free to connect with me if you have any issues and concerns related to our community.
  • Ottawa Indo-Canadians Association: As President, I support the community through youth and women empowerment initiatives, while also helping new immigrants connect with mainstream resources and opportunities.
  • Vishva Shakti Durga Mandir Association: I serve as Secretary, assisting seniors, newcomers, and students with essential services and support.
  • Overseas Friends of Canada: In my past role as VP-PR & Secretary, I coordinated efforts to address international issues, including COVID-19 response, RT-PCR testing, and advocacy on global matters.

Though I have received several awards for my work, I prefer to let my contributions to the community speak for themselves. My experiences and dedication to service have shaped me as a strong candidate for political leadership, driven to continue making a positive impact in our community.
