Notices have been mailed to local members of the NDP of our upcoming AGM. Thanks to the crew for another 2 hour intensive envelope stuffing session. One of those little jobs that goes on regardless of the results of the last election.
Everyone is welcome to join us at the AGM. Only current, and lapsed members who have renewed will be able to vote, however.

President's thoughts (Alice Brown):
It was an interesting year to be President; so much more needs to be done in an election year. There were many challenges, offices to be rented, phones to be hooked up , and the many volunteers that make a successful campaign.
Now, we pass on the torch and look forward to the next campaign, new friends and good times.
Candidate's thoughts (Jacqui Gingras)
We started this campaign even before I was nominated as the candidate.
We knew it was going to be a long journey to bring about a change. Once the
writ was dropped on August 2, the official campaign began in earnest and it was
a very enlightening experience. We knocked on many doors, welcomed several NDP
MPs including Libby Davies, Peter Julian, and Randall Garrison and had two
offices buzzing with volunteer activity. Our team underwent several changes
over the course of the campaign and everyone worked incredibly hard to create a
campaign of which we could be proud. And we were.
Despite our best efforts, we were defeated. While the results were not
what we expected, we were privileged to meet so many wonderful people and
groups. We look forward to seeing how the next campaign unfolds.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this effort.
