Dear Green friends of NDG-Lachine,

It's that time of year once again: the Annual General Meeting. This year will be at the same location as last year's - the Saint-Raymond Community Center, at 5600 Upper Lachine Road. I hope you'll consider joining us, Sunday April 1st at 12:30 PM.

Dear Greens, and green thinkers!

The local riding association (EDA) of NDG-Lachine for the Green Party of Canada is in search of a volunteer to take on the vital position of Financial Agent. The position requires a basic level of skill with numbers, reliability and a willingness to familiarize oneself with the relevant Elections Canada policies. Training and assistance will be provided.

If you or someone you know would like more information, please contact Jessica, before the end of February 2012! Thank you.

Just a quick note to let you know that I will be featured in this week's edition of the Montreal Mirror 'Election Notes' section. This free newspaper is published every Wednesday and is available across Montreal (at Vendome metro station, among many other locations).

I will also be featured in next week's edition of the NDG Free Press, which will be published next Tuesday! If you don't get this paper delivered, you can pick it up at the Saint-Raymond Community Center or Coop la Maison Verte...

Dear residents of NDG-Lachine!

The Green campaign in our riding is officially launched; you may see a few signs up, and more are on the way, but we need your help! Please consider showing your support, either by offering to volunteer or by way of a monetary donation to the campaign. It takes $$ to get the word out, and we really want to make some noise this election! Bear in mind that the federal government offers a very generous tax credit for donations to political parties! We're waiting to hear from you. Thanks!

The 41st General elections are underway, and the NDG-Lachine team is stronger than ever before, with a great team of volunteers all coordinating to run the best possible campaign.

My candidacy should be official by Saturday evening, April 2nd!

Please see press release, attached.

It's already here! Our AGM will be happening tomorrow afternoon, at 3 PM, at Saint-Raymond Community Centre, 5600 Upper Lachine Road (a couple of blocks West of Vendome metro). All are welcome, so join us and share your opinion about campaign strategy! Elections can't be far off... the Conservative attack ads have already begun airing!

Another 'save-the-date' announcement! Please note that February 19th and 20th, 2011, the Quebec wing of the GPC will be holding their annual convention, featuring party leader Elizabeth May as well as deputy leader Georges Laracque, right here in NDG!

The organizing committee deemed NDG-Lachine to be an appropriate riding to hold the event, due to our promising results during the last general election, and potential interest from within our community.

It's that time again! The 2011 AGM has been scheduled for Sunday, January 30th, 2011 at 3PM. Please save the date! The location will be confirmed in a few days.

The meeting is open to all, although only members in good standing will have voting rights. Coffee and snacks will be served... Come and introduce yourself; we can't wait to meet you!

Greetings to all of you, as we step into a new year, and a new decade. We can only hope that this year, the tide will finally turn in Canada and this dark period of ominous doings on Parliament Hill will come to a close.

Last June 21st, the NDG-Lachine Federal Green Party Association held its Annual General Meeting, and elected its new Executive Committee as well as its electoral candidate (who has also been officially endorsed by Elizabeth May). We are now ready to move ahead and plan for the next general election, which will likely be called in the fall.

Your team consists of:

Jessica Gal, Chief Executive Officer and electoral candidate
Bill English, Financial Agent
Line Merrette, Communications Chair, and
Colin Baker, Organizing Chair.
