Dear Friend,
With a New Year to welcome in, I wanted to thank you for your support this year. We have accomplished so much, and none of it would have been possible without you!
Greens threw their support behind a provincial by-election in Kitchener Centre. Less than a month ago, on November 30, residents of Kitchener Centre elected a second Green MPP to Queens Park! As I watched that win, a wave of small memories and key moments that highlight how different we are as a party came to my mind. Greens don’t just campaign, we build community.
Volunteering with Aislinn’s campaign reminded me of Green campaign offices over the years. In the London North Centre by-election in 2006 we had wonderful homemade soups and a space for children to read books and draw rainbows for our walls. This year, Aislinn’s husband Ryan made fabulous pizzas, with gluten-free crusts and vegan cheese. Aislinn joked people came for the food and stayed for the politics.
By the time I was canvassing on my last trip to Kitchener Centre, I knew we had it and in my head, quietly, the word was “landslide!” Aislinn received more votes than the Liberal, Conservative and NDP candidates combined.
This win was a key part of building for the next federal election, whenever it is called. Now, we must ready ourselves for federal byelections in Durham and Toronto–St. Paul's.
I do want to share some exciting news. Early in the New Year, JP and I will be hitting the road to meet with as many communities and as many Green Party members and supporters as possible across Canada. Your donation now will help us organize the tour, add additional locations and get the tour launched. I am so excited to get out and see all of you again!

Once again, thank you for your unwavering support throughout this past year. Let's step into 2024 ready to bring our Green solutions to Canadians from coast, to coast, to coast.
With my best wishes for a loving, peaceful New Year,
Elizabeth
