PPC Associations Deregistered; Two By-election Returns

Summary#

The Canada Gazette published notices from the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer on May 9, 2026. It lists a set of local/regional PPC (People’s Party of Canada) electoral district associations that will be deregistered as of May 31, 2026, and it records the winners of the April 13, 2026 by‑elections in Scarborough Southwest and Terrebonne.

What it does#

• Notices that, under the Canada Elections Act, the following local/regional PPC associations are deregistered effective May 31, 2026:

  • Barrie‑Simcoe PPC Association
  • Fort McMurray–Cold Lake - PPC Association
  • KWGC Regional PPC Association
  • Midwestern Ontario Regional PPC Association
  • Moose Jaw–Lake Centre–Lanigan - PPC Association
  • Niagara - St. Catharines Regional PPC Association
  • Nipissing–Timiskaming - PPC Association
  • Nova Scotia East PPC Association
  • PEI PPC Regional Association
  • PPC Greater Vancouver Regional Association
  • Thames Valley Regional PPC Association
  • Thunder Bay PPC Regional District Association
  • Vancouver Island Regional PPC Association
  • West Nova Regional PPC Association
  • Winnipeg Regional PPC Association
  • York Region PPC Association

• Records the official returns from the April 13, 2026 by‑elections, reporting these elected members:

  • Doly Begum — Scarborough Southwest
  • Tatiana Auguste — Terrebonne

Who's affected#

• Local organizers, volunteers and members of the listed PPC electoral district associations.
• Donors and people who interact with those local PPC associations.
• Voters and communities in Scarborough Southwest and Terrebonne — who now have the named members recorded as elected.
• The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer and the House of Commons, which keep formal records of registered associations and election returns.

Why it matters#

• Deregistration removes these groups from the official list of registered electoral district associations. The Gazette notice itself does not explain the direct practical consequences for each group.
• The by‑election returns confirm who will serve as members of the House of Commons for those two ridings, which matters for local representation and for the official membership roll in Parliament.
