Two electoral district associations deregistered

Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice records two electoral district associations being removed from the official register. The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer says Niagara Falls - PPC Association and Red Deer–Mountain View Libertarian Association are deregistered effective November 15, 2023.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (about private bill notices) was previously published and gives a contact for the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons.
• Announces the deregistration, under the Canada Elections Act, of:
  • Niagara Falls - PPC Association, and
  • Red Deer–Mountain View Libertarian Association,
    both effective November 15, 2023.
• The notice is signed by Josée Villeneuve (Senior Director, Political Financing) on October 25, 2023.

Who's affected#

• Members, volunteers and local organizers of the two named associations.
• Local candidates or campaign teams that worked with those associations.
• Donors or local supporters who gave money or time to those specific groups.
  If you want certainty about wider effects (fundraising, tax receipts, ability to operate), check with Elections Canada or the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer — the Gazette entry itself does not explain the practical consequences.

Why it matters#

Deregistration removes a group's official status under federal election rules. That can change what the group is allowed to do during election campaigns and how it handles money. For people in those ridings, it may affect local political organizing and fundraising. The notice gives the fact of deregistration but not the reasons or the full legal effects.
