Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice lists a number of local party organizations (electoral district associations) that were deregistered under the Canada Elections Act, effective December 31, 2023. The groups named include local associations tied to the Green Party of Canada, the People's Party of Canada (PPC), the Maverick Party, and some NDP riding associations.

What it does#

  • Removes the official registered status of the specific electoral district associations named in the notice.
  • Gives the effective date of those deregistrations as December 31, 2023.
  • Identifies the specific associations by name in the notice (the Gazette item itself lists them).

Who's affected#

  • The local riding organizations (electoral district associations) named in the notice. Examples include Calgary Signal Hill Maverick Party EDA, Association PPC de Louis-Saint-Laurent, Association du Parti Vert du Canada de Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, and Outaouais—Laurentian PPC Association.
  • Members, volunteers, donors, and local organizers connected to those specific associations will be directly affected.
  • If you don’t see your riding or your group’s name in the notice, it’s not listed here; the Gazette item itself contains the full list.

Why it matters#

  • Deregistration changes which local party groups are officially recorded with Elections Canada.
  • That can matter for local fundraising, official campaign activities, and how a party organizes in a particular riding, though this notice does not spell out specific legal or financial consequences.
  • If you are active in or support one of the listed associations, you may want to check with your party or Elections Canada for details about next steps.
