Three Green Party Riding Associations Deregistered

Summary#

The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer published a notice under the Canada Elections Act saying three local electoral district associations will be deregistered. The change is effective November 30, 2025.

What it does#

• Deregisters these registered electoral district associations, effective November 30, 2025:
  • Association du parti vert de Pontiac–Kitigan Zibi
  • Brampton Centre Green Party Association
  • Coquitlam–Port Coquitlam Green Party Association
• The notice was dated October 20, 2025 and signed by Jeff Merrett, Senior Director Political Financing.
• The Gazette item does not explain the reasons for the deregistrations.

Who's affected#

• Members, volunteers and local organizers of the listed associations.
• People who give money to or receive information from those local groups.
• Local candidates or people thinking of running in those ridings.
• The Green Party at the local level and anyone who works with those riding associations.
• Voters in the named ridings may notice less local party activity.
• The notice does not say whether any other organizations are affected.

Why it matters#

• Deregistration removes an association’s registered status under the Canada Elections Act, which changes its official standing.
• That can affect how a local political group operates in practice (for example, its public profile, fundraising or local campaign work), though the Gazette notice does not list specific consequences.
• If you rely on or interact with these local associations, you may want to check with the local party or Elections Canada for more details.
