Members of the Guelph Constituency Association for the Green Party of Ontario elected Mike Schreiner to be the Guelph Green Party Candidate for the next election at the (Green) Party in the park. The rest of us were just there to have fun.
The (Green) Party in the Park was a big success.
We got to meet Adam Olsen, one of the newly minted BC Greens MLA who came out to support Mike Schreiner.
Adam gave us all a boost with his inspirational keynote speech.
Mike talked about what we’ve already accomplished as well as the things we need if we’re to bring about that green future we all need.
The fabulous Joni NehRita played a solo set to welcome us all to the park at the beginning of the picnic, and the awesome Andrew Craig Trio entertained us after the speeches.
The event was catered by The Schmuck Truck with cold deserts from Bluewater Creamery.
Folks from Barrie, Brantford and Kitchener and more from all over Ontario came to join the Guelph Greens in the party that accompanied Guelph’s candidate selection.
There were lots of things for kids to do but Mother Nature provides the best playground.
Mike’s got a clear vision of a Green future for the province of Ontario. Won’t you join us to help bring it about?
