Project Manager
Peter Tonge Consulting

Hayley Sinclair, a white settler from Vancouver, BC, now resides in the tiny remote ocean-side town of Yarmouth, NS, after spending a long 5 years in Winnipeg, MB. She serves as the Project Manager for Peter Tonge Consulting,

Hayley is best known for connecting professional wrestling events with civic politics, growing a small-town Pride festival from 2,500 attendees to 50,000 in one year, and providing end-of-life care to her father. These experiences are embedded in everything she does.

With a background in human resources and non-profit management, Hayley began her career at Vancouver Coastal Health, organizing hundreds of focus groups and small projects to build community with systemically under-served groups in health care. She then worked for a 24/7 emergency shelter, the Centre of Hope, in the heart of Winnipeg and with the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Drawing on her lived experience, Hayley brings her insight and creativity to all of her work.
