A leadership contest is an opportunity for our party to demonstrate participatory, grassroots democracy. Please consider getting involved and encourage others to do the same. Recruit new members, encourage people to put their name on the ballot for Leader or Deputy Leader or do so yourself. Nova Scotia needs Green voices to be heard. Now is the time to be bold.
