Join the Squamish Nation for a pancake brunch fundraiser to stop Trans Mountain.
We love pancakes, and our community, and we are raising funds to pay for the cost of three First Nations’ legal challenges against the Trans Mountain pipeline and tanker project (Coldwater, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh).

Come, enjoy breakfast with your friends and family for a great cause. Will be announcing performers and talent soon!

Tickets here! No one turned away for lack of funds

The participating merchants are hosting a launch event on Feb. 21, at 7 pm at Highlands United Church, 3255 Edgemont Blvd, North Vancouver. Please show your support for this timely and exciting initiative and come.

The North Vancouver Greens are hosting a talk by Michael Doherty, a lawyer with Ecojustice, Canada’s largest environmental law charity. It is called, “Litigating Against Climate Change: How Does It Work?” In addition to speaking about Ecojustice’s own constitutional challenge to Ontario’s climate change targets and other recent cases, Dr. Doherty will give an overview of the different ways in which the law is used as a tool to fight climate change.

Time: Saturday Feb. 22. Doors open at 1 pm.  Michael's presentation will start at 1:20 pm and will be followed by a Q & A until 3:30 pm 

Location: the Braithwaite Community Centre on 145 West 1^st Street, North Vancouver.

The event is free, but to guarantee your seat, you need to reserve your tickets through Eventbrite.

We want to create a plan for the year coming up: identify our goals, how we are going to achieve them, and who is going to be responsible for the tasks needed to carry out the plan:  What, How, and Who.

So far, we are thinking about growing our membership and keeping people engaged by holding a series of events, both social and instructive (such as Michael Doherty’s recent talk about the law and climate change).

We will take this plan to our AGM for ratification.  We will also present a slate of people who are willing to be on the EDA Board and carry out this plan.  We hope you can come to the meeting on March 11, help us craft the plan and choose the slate! Among other things, we are looking for people who are interested in social media, membership, community events, and young Greens.

The AGM, to which all our members will be invited, will take place on the evening of April 29. It will be in the Arbutus Room, Delbrook Community Centre.  A formal announcement will be coming.

At our strategy meeting, Dave Hunter, our CEO, will also be providing an update on what’s happening at GPC headquarters, how the search for a new executive director and party leader is going and how the Green Party will position itself for the future.

Organized by Green Party of Vancouver.

Mark your calendars for the globe-spanning virtual discussion featuring New Zealand’s Green Party Co-leader and Climate Change Minister, James Shaw, and Elizabeth May, MP and parliamentary leader of the Green Party Canada.

The discussion will focus on how a small number of elected Greens can make a real difference in developing and passing progressive legislation. James will also talk about the role New Zealand Greens played in their government’s successful management of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Elizabeth and James want to address what matters most to Green Party members so please email questions to maureen.bodie@greenparty.ca by July 7.
