I can't find what the 2002 Canadian half dollar is made of. Is it nickel?

.935 steel, .0475 copper, .020 nickel. Another of the mint's sandwich jobs with steel core, thin nickel, copper .045 plate, then another nickel plate. They are common with gas bubbles and some minor peeling, but still a pretty coin.
