Dear Friend,

District 12 EDA held their AGM earlier this month, electing a new executive!
L to R: Peter Rukavina, Data Coordinator; Barbara Dylla, Financial Coordinator; MLA Karla Bernard; Laurent Beaulieu, Chair.It’s hard to believe summer is nearly over! BUT when you have had as busy of a summer as the Greens across the Island have, it's easy to see why. Over the past month, Districts 21 & 23 formed a Regional Association, the District 12 EDA had their AGM, and the Young Greens of PEI (YGP) held their first Executive Election, just to name a few! There are still a couple of weeks left of the August heat, meaning there are still plenty of opportunities to get outside, enjoy the sun, and attend some Green Party events!

Read on to hear about what’s been on the go, upcoming events, and opportunities to get involved.
