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. We can take advantage of the opportunities around us to transition our economy to one that is efficient and sustainable, based on principles of fairness and resilience, with respect for people, communities and the climate.

We must take into consideration not only what we create, but what we leave behind. Our Green vision for Ontario points us in the direction of a sustainable,…

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.

This land was opened for settlement as a result of the Williams treaty. Every time the land or the water or the air is polluted, that is a violation of the spirit of that treaty. As people who engage in the government of this province, we especially must act so as to honour the treaties and…
