Calgary Rocky Ridge Association Deregistered

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry notes a brief House of Commons item and an Elections Canada notice. The key practical effect is that the Calgary Rocky Ridge Federal Green Party Association is deregistered under the Canada Elections Act, effective April 30, 2023.

What it does#

• Reminds readers that Standing Order 130 (about notices for private bills) was published previously; this is a routine House of Commons reference.
• Announces that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer is deregistering the Calgary Rocky Ridge Federal Green Party Association. That deregistration takes effect April 30, 2023.

Who's affected#

• Members, volunteers and supporters of the Calgary Rocky Ridge Federal Green Party Association.
• The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer and Elections Canada’s records and administration.
• It is unclear from the notice why the group was deregistered or who specifically requested it.

Why it matters#

• Deregistration removes the group's formal status under the Canada Elections Act, which can change what the association can do under election rules (for example, some fundraising and reporting powers tied to registered associations).
• For most voters the change is a small administrative matter. It mainly matters to people directly involved with that local Green Party organization.
