Good Sunday Morning!
I hope I will see many of you this evening at our big FUN-raising online event!
It is not too late to register. I am really excited that Neil Young is going to try to drop by. Fingers crossed! Of course, Mike Morrice is joining, JP and me as well as Sarah Harmer who was here at COP15!

As always, these are non-partisan events for Elizabeth to update and meet with her constituents in Saanich-Gulf Islands. As Green Party members, it’s a great opportunity to meet and chat with her. It’s also a great opportunity to introduce friends and neighbors to their MP — bring them along!

Good Sunday Morning!
It has been so lovely to be home this weekend. Hope to see some of you at this evening’s Sidney Santa parade – Sidney Sparkles. Then back to Ottawa for parliament and to Montreal for COP15. Sad to have so little time at home before the holidays.
