OTTAWA – As the planet ventures further into the climate crisis unfolding before us, we need someone to bring Canadians together and lead the charge for substantial and positive change in the ways we govern ourselves.
Our Party prides itself on inclusivity and transparency, and this campaign will demonstrate those values.
The leadership search starts today: we are looking for Greens from across the country who want to enter this arena and convince the membership that they have what it will take to re-ignite the party that is recognized as ‘the conscience of Canada’.
The leadership race is divided into two stages. At the first stage, Greens will vote to narrow the field to four candidates.
At the second stage of the campaign, Greens will assess the four remaining candidates’ leadership skills and their visions for a sustainable future, then rank the candidates on a preferential ballot. One of the “Final Four” will be elected as the new Leader of the Green Party of Canada.
Potential candidates are encouraged to apply now. The application period will remain open until August 5.
The first round of voting will be held between October 7 to 15
The second round of voting will be held between November 12 and 19.
The results will be announced at 8 pm Eastern on November 19.
Now it is time for Greens to roll up their sleeves, get involved, and help create the future of the Party.
