Dear Friend,



As our Green MLAs prepare for the Spring Sitting (which begins on February 23rd this year with the new legislative calendar), they would like to step "outside the rails" of the Legislature to directly engage with you about the work they are doing - and get your input and feedback on the bills they drafting right now.



We're pleased to bring you an "Outside the Rails" series this winter, with five sessions hosted by five different MLAs on the concrete ways they're working to make PEI better within their Critic portfolios this spring. These hour-long, interactive sessions will not only help you understand the individual proposals, but the process by which legislation is made. The MLAs, for their part, are hoping to benefit from participant feedback in order to make their bills even stronger and more impactful.



Please check out the topics below and register individually for any you would like to participate in. All sessions will take place online via Zoom.
