Green Party Leader Elizabeth May taking part in local event

A federal party leader is coming to the area. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is making a stop in Kemptville on Sunday. She is taking part in a Meet & Greet event at North Grenville District High School. Doors open at 6:00pm and the event kicks off at 6:30pm.

Organizer Sami Kutowy says you don’t have to be a Green Party member to come. She says the event is open to anyone looking to learn more about the party’s platform.

May is MP of Saanich-Gulf Islands in Vancouver. She practiced law and wrote eight books. She was first elected party leader in 2006 and made history in 2011 by becoming the first Green Party candidate elected to the House of Commons.

Kutowy says May will be doing a small presentation. She will also be available to answer questions.

May is coming to the area to support Lorraine Rekmans bid for the Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP seat. The other candidates for the federal by-election are Michael Barrett (Conservative), Mary Jean McFall (Liberal) and Michelle Taylor (NDP).
