Deletions
- Hello! I’ve been Nova Scotia’s Representative on Federal Council since June of 2022, and I’m
- reoffering for another term.
- The last few years have not been easy ones for the Green Party of Canada, or for federal Greens in
- NS. We had breakthrough results here in the 2019 general election, in which 7 of 11 Green candidates
- received 10% or more of the votes. I managed Jo-Ann Roberts’ campaign in Halifax. But in the 2021
- election, we only had 9 candidates, and none of them came close to 10%.
- We need to do better in the coming general election, with a full slate of candidates and better
- resourced campaigns. I want to help achieve that, and to increase the number of active and
- sustainable EDAs in the province. My role as chair of the federal Election Readiness Committee will
- inform the support I can offer. And I’ve been actively involved in federal and provincial elections
- in Nova Scotia since 2000, first with the NDP and, since 2019, with the GPC and GPNS.
- It’s no secret that the GPC have been struggling since the 2019 federal election. I believe we’re
- getting our feet under us again, and that we’ll be able to move forward in harmony. But I think an
- awareness of recent GPC history, and of the factors that have held us back, is a desirable quality.
- I have that knowledge, together with a determination to put the past behind us and achieve great
- things together. And everything we do should flow from the six Global Green Principles.
- As Kermit said, “It’s not easy being green”. But it is important. Nova Scotia, Canada, and the world
- need the Green Party.
- Please vote for me to continue as Nova Scotia’s representative on Federal Council.
- Experience and Skills
- ---------------------
- Since January 1, 2019, I’ve been a member of the Green Party of Canada (GPC) and the Green Party of
- Nova Scotia (GPNS).
- I managed Green federal campaigns in Halifax in 2019 and 2021, and was the Official Agent for the
- 2021 Dartmouth-Cole Harbour campaign. As a volunteer,I’ve canvassed on foot or by phone in
- provincial elections and federal by-elections in BC, Manitoba, Ontario, NB, PEI, and NS. I am very

- Before election to Federal CounciI in 2022, I was a member of the Ombuds and Appeals Committee.

- I was a GPNS provincial Organizer in 2019/2020, and Membership Director in 2020, during which
- membership fees were removed for members below the age of 30. I was co-president for a year and a
- half, and I’m currently past president. I was Official Agent for five campaigns in 2021, and for a
- by-election in 2024.
- As an NDP member for 20 years, I was CEO of provincial and federal EDAs, sat on the NS NDP Council
- and Executive, and served as provincial President. I was active in governance, acted as

- I’ve been active with environmental organizations in Nova Scotia since the 1990’s, including the
- Wooden’s River Watershed Environmental Organization and the Ecology Action Centre.
