In Eastern PEI on Sunday, July 25th, join the first Belfast Cookout hosted by Omair Imtiaz, a member of Provincial Council who was elected as the Eastern Rep in April.



Come on out for a fun event, and if you can, bring your own lawn chair, cups, plates, and utensils as we're aiming for this to be a zero waste event. We'll provide both meat and vegetarian alternatives, and you are welcome to bring a dish to share if you like. Freewill donations to help cover the cost of the food will be accepted. There will be good food, conversations, maybe some frisbee on the lawn, and sun tea!

Have you seen that the Green Party of PEI is hiring right now?



We are looking to hire a part-time Administrative & Operational Support Associate to support our Executive Director, Jordan Bober.



If you have about 15 hours a week to spare and want to do meaningful work with the Green Party, please consider applying! The application deadline is this Sunday, July 18th. Learn more here:?www.peigreens.ca/workwithus <[link removed]>







Did you see that PEI Green members recently confirmed our very first grassroots policy resolutions?



I'm especially excited about this, because one of the seven policy motions that passed, calling for bicycles and e-bikes to be included in the same type of incentive programs offered for electric cars, was sponsored by me!



The other new policies are about sustainable agriculture, protection of pollinators, championing the use of citizens assemblies for electoral reform and other topics, exploring a Renters' Tax Credit, changing the way PEI assesses the need for new schools, and establishing a Climate Change Investment Fund.

Members also confirmed a Constitutional amendment <[link removed]> that will give Provincial Council more flexibility in terms of how we define and organize the roles of individual councillors. Provincial Council is discussing how to implement the change, and will keep members informed and consulted as we move forward.



The opportunity for members to draft and submit policy motions is open on an ongoing basis - see this page for more information: www.peigreens.ca/motions2021 <[link removed]>, or email [email protected] <mailto:%[email protected]> for help getting started!
