Current Events:
Annual General Meeting
Saturday, November 20th
The AGM is your opportunity as a member, or a renewed member or as a potential member to help shape the direction of the GPM as we work towards preparing for the next provincial election. Now is the time to consider running for a council position, submitting a constitutional amendment or just joining us for some fun by the pool!
As it is your right as a member in good standing to vote at the AGM, we will not be charging a registration fee to attend this AGM, although we will gladly accept any donations to the party to help offset costs and they are encouraged. Members will be expected to cover their own costs of transportation, food and drink outside that provided at the meeting, and accommodation should you choose to stay overnight at the Days Inn in Portage la Prairie.
“It is with great pleasure that I announce that the Green Party of Manitoba’s first Annual General Meeting to be held outside of the City of Winnipeg, will take place in Portage La Prairie. Your council has been hard at work to plan a meeting that will not only fulfill my leadership campaign promise to have an AGM in a rural community, but will show that support and interest in our party is growing in all areas of our province. It is my hope that you will choose to join us as we meet to do the party’s business and continue our party building efforts together ... ”Towards A Bright Future”

Guaranteed Annual Income
The Citizens Income Petition is calling for the Canadian Governments and Political Parties to support a Guaranteed Annual Income, aka "Citizen's Income". The petition supports the belief that a GAI is "a requirement for Canada to meet the UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights) objectives in achieving income security, social inclusion, and human dignity for all its citizens".

WE NEED YOU!
The Green Party of Manitoba urgently requires the research efforts of its members, and of anyone who supports the party's direction on sustainability and "quality of life" issues. GPM members are currently conducting a phone-around to establish working research groups for a number of critical areas.
High on the list of research concerns for our members and other Green supporters are:
- Organic farming, urban gardening, pesticides & soil issues.
- Urban transit & transportation technology.
- Pork production & the environment.
- International politics of the transition to global sustainability.
- Poverty, housing & the welfare system.
- Water quality, incl. Lake Winnipeg & Red River basin issues.
If you or someone you know — not necessarily a GPM member — would like to participate in researching any of these issues, please get in touch with the phone-around co-ordinator, Les Mundwiler, at 943-5668 (afternoons) or
.
The Green Party of Manitoba is calling on the Province of Manitoba to follow the lead of Quebec and Ontario in banning the cosmetic use of pesticides
Please help us by contacting Minister of Conservation, Stan Struthers and let him know that for the health of us all it is imperative that the province take this first step in banning the use of cosmetic pesticides.

GPM RESEARCH! . . . GREEN ACTIVISTS WILL WANT TO POST TO THE NEW RESEARCH BLOGS!
Green issues - the science and the politics - are coming steadily to the fore. They cover a big range of topics and they require constant tracking if GPM is to respond accurately, with effective policies and program objectives. In the first stages of developing research groups to meet this challenge, the GPM has now created a number of research blogs for members and other Greens: Housing & Green Construction, Social Inclusion & Poverty Reduction, Transportation, Global Relations & Climate Change, Health & Food Safety, Agriculture & Gardening, Waste Management & Recycling, Energy, Water & Forests. Each closed blog can have up to 100 participating "authors" and is expected to have one or more corresponding research groups, for occasional face-to-face discussion of research directions; but GPM members and interested Greens can now make a research contribution in any of these areas by posting directly to the relevant blog. Please contact Les Mundwiler, GPM research co-ordinator, for further information at: (204) 943-5668 or
