The North Island – Powell River Federal Green Party Association (NIPR Greens)

was recognized by Elections Canada on February 2, 2015.  The Electoral District Association (EDA) was founded at a meeting in Merville on December 6, 2014 in response to the change in Electoral Boundaries which came into effect once the writ was dropped for the October 2015 federal election.  A dedicated group of members began creating the foundations of a strong EDA through strategic planning, beginning the candidate search, distributing a newsletter and scheduling outreach meetings in communities throughout the Riding.
