VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Between the frenzy and excitement of election campaigns, what do political parties do?

Well, they try to keep interest in the political process, recruit new members, raise funds for the next election. They also develop policy alternatives, prepare electoral platforms and generally try to stay in the public eye.

With the Greens, it's the same, yet also different.

As one of the most frequent contributors to this website's blog pages, I have refrained from mixing municipal and provincial-federal issues. There is a general reluctance to introduce partisan politics into municipal affairs. There is also a reluctance for provincial and federal parties to intervene locally. With the exception of one or two event postings and calls to action, I have practiced this voluntary restraint.

Until now...

Join Elizabeth May and your friendly neighbourhood Greens at the Annual Conference for the Ontario Society for Environmental Education, where she will speak on the topic of "Towards a Green and Healthy Future - It starts in School!"

Where: Faculty of Science, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Oshawa
When: May 9 from 11:30-12:30

Once again, there is a chance to make history in an election. It's not anywhere near here, but you can still get involved.
