Once a year, the GPO has a Policy Conference and an Annual General Meeting. The locations of these conferences are rotated around the province. We have instituted a system of travel vouchers that allows individuals to travel to conferences subsidized by the generous provincial tax credit system. We believe in participatory democracy and at general meetings all members are allowed to vote on all resolutions. If you join the Green Party you do not give your vote to a delegate, nor are you excluded from decision-making meetings.
All members can vote and all members are funded to travel to conferences.
Our goal is to participate in the electoral process and facilitate the evolution of party politics away from the current confrontational power-mongering. Campaigning is the best way to present these views to the public, and to inform the other candidates as to the true nature of the challenges we face. It's a great experience to do so. Many other groups are working to establish the public support for one aspect or another of the Green vision, but only the Green Party is working toward those goals within the political system. Our members hold a wide variety of views and opinions.
