Edward Yaghledjian for Durham

Posted August 23rd, 2011 by louis

Edward Yaghledjian will be our Green Party of Ontario Candidate in the upcoming provincial election.

Edward was voted in by Durham provincial riding association members at the formal nomination meeting Monday August 22 in Port Perry. Duane Cook, CFO for the riding association was the returning officer.

We also extend a big thank you to Mike Cameron for his run at the nomination.

Formal proceedings were followed by a great talk by our keynote speaker, Judy Smith-Torrie, Deputy Leader, Green Party of Ontario, and a fundraising pledge auction. The newly nominated candidate got a big boost of funding to kick off his campaign. Coffee and snacks provided by Queen Beans Coffee House, 180 Queen Street, Port Perry.

Thanks also to the volunteers from the federal riding association and supporters from Oshawa and Whitby who helped with all the tasks to organize a meeting like this and run the pledge auction. We extend a special note of thanks to Provincial Green Party organizer Halyna Zalucky who has the enormous task of helping with 107 ridings province-wide.

Edward will be building his campaign team and more details will be announced as they become available. In the interim, if you wish to be a volunteer or a contributor, contact Louis Bertrand <lbertrand@gpo.ca> 905-259-8925
