Jobs: Our Green vision is of a modern, sustainable, prosperous economy powered by vibrant local businesses and communities.
Our vision is about making choices that generate and sustain us in a way that benefits everyone.

Gianne Broughton Accepts the Nomination from Peterborough – Kawartha Greens
Good Evening. Land Acknowledgement: Before I tell you about myself and why I offered to stand for nomination, we need to acknowledge our relationship to this land and its Indigenous Peoples.
