Deregistered Electoral District Associations

Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice records a short parliamentary procedural note and several deregistrations of local party organizations under the Canada Elections Act. One association is listed as deregistered effective December 15, 2023, and a larger group is listed as deregistered effective December 31, 2023.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was previously published and gives a contact for the Private Members’ Business Office. The notice is signed by Eric Janse (Acting Clerk of the House of Commons).
• Announces that the following electoral district associations are deregistered under the Canada Elections Act:
  • Toronto East PPC Regional Association — deregistered effective December 15, 2023. (Notice signed by Josée Villeneuve.)
  • The following associations — deregistered effective December 31, 2023 (notices signed by Anne Lawson and Josée Villeneuve):
    • Beauport–Limoilou Green Party Association
    • Carleton Federal Green Party Association
    • Centrist Party of Canada Fredericton Electoral District Association
    • Chatham–Sarnia Regional PPC Association
    • Green Party of Canada Eglinton–Lawrence EDA
    • Hamilton Regional PPC Association
    • Maverick Banff—Airdrie Electoral District Association
    • Red Deer Mountain View Souris–Moose Mountain Maverick Party Association
    • Trois‑Rivières Green Party Association
    • West Nova - South Shore Regional Association
    • Calgary‑Midnapore Maverick Party Electoral District Association
    • Cypress Hills–Grasslands Federal Green Party Association
    • Souris–Moose Mountain Federal Green Party Association
    • South Surrey–White Rock Federal NDP Riding Association
    • Spadina–Fort York Federal Green Party Association

Who's affected#

• The listed local party organizations themselves.
• Local party volunteers, organizers and supporters in those ridings.
• The national parties named in the lists: the Green Party of Canada, People’s Party of Canada (PPC), Maverick Party, Centrist Party of Canada, and the New Democratic Party (NDP) — where their local branches appear above.
• If you are a local donor, candidate hopeful, or volunteer in one of the listed ridings, you are most likely to notice a change.

Why it matters#

• Deregistration means these local associations are no longer listed as registered electoral district associations with election authorities.
• That can affect how local party activity is organized and reported, and it may change which local groups can officially campaign, fundraise, or nominate candidates — but the Gazette notices themselves do not explain the operational or legal details.
• If you are involved with any of the listed groups or live in the named ridings and want to know the next steps, the notices include official contact points (for example, the Private Members’ Business Office and the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer).
