Green Party Local Associations Deregistered

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry records routine parliamentary notices and a set of electoral updates. The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer says several local Green Party electoral district associations will be deregistered under the Canada Elections Act, effective February 15, 2022.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (about private bills) was previously published on November 20, 2021 (routine parliamentary information).
• Announces the deregistration, effective February 15, 2022, of the following registered electoral district associations under the Canada Elections Act:
  • Avalon Federal Green Party Association
  • Oakville North–Burlington Federal Green Party Association
  • Oshawa Federal Green Party Association
  • Pierrefonds–Dollard Green Party Association
  • Sudbury Green Party Association
  • Chicoutimi–Le Fjord Green Party Association
  • London–Fanshawe Federal Green Party Association
  • Milton Federal Green Party Association
  • Nickel Belt Greens Electoral District Association
  • Perth–Wellington Federal Green Party Association
  • Saint-Laurent Federal Green Party Association
  • Edmonton–Wetaskiwin Federal Green Party Association
  • Essex Green Party Electoral District Association
  • Etobicoke–Lakeshore Federal Green Party Association
  • Hamilton East–Stoney Creek Green Party of Canada EDA
  • Lakeland Federal Green Party Association
  • Port Moody–Coquitlam Green Party Electoral District Association
  • Sturgeon River–Parkland Green Party
• The notice is signed by Anne Lawson, Deputy Chief Electoral Officer (Regulatory Affairs).

Who's affected#

• The primary entities named are the local Green Party organizations listed above.
• People most likely to notice changes are:
  • Local Green Party members, volunteers and organizers in those ridings.
  • Donors or supporters who give to or work with those local associations.
• The notice does not explain detailed consequences for individual members or volunteers.

Why it matters#

• Deregistration ends the official, registered status of these local electoral associations under the Canada Elections Act. The Gazette item itself does not list the specific practical steps that follow.
• In real life, losing registered status usually affects an association’s formal role in elections — for example, how it handles fundraising, official reporting, or campaign organization — so local party activity may be disrupted until the status is restored or replaced.
• This is a routine administrative notice rather than a new public policy.
