Green Party of Canada convention postponed due to election

Mary Ann Grainger — Thu, 22 May 2008 04:00:37 +0000

The convention has been canceled, and will be rescheduled. During an election, a convention in Elizabeth May’s riding would count as a campaign event, and its cost would exceed the whole of the budget allowed by Elections Canada for a campaign.

Update: Both the location and the date of the convention has changed to accommodate the upcoming by-elections on September 8. The convention will now be held in Pictou, Nova Scotia on September 19-21. Please join us
