Calvin Winter for GPO Toronto Region Representative 

I’m a software developer and political consultant who lives and works in Toronto. I’ve been involved with the Green Party since 2015 when I ran in the federal election. Since then, I have founded a CA and EDA in my local riding, worked on Adam Olsen’s successful 2017 campaign in BC, served as the Director of Technical Services at the GPO from 2017 – 2020 and most recently have served as a technology advisor for the Green Party of Nova Scotia.

We’re in a race against climate change, and time is running out. I believe that the GPO can be an important part of the solution, but it won’t be easy.

To be successful, the GPO needs to be daring. We must set ambitious targets to ensure we can effectively influence legislation before it is too late.

If I’m elected to serve as one of the Toronto Reps, these will be my priorities:

• make PE more open and actively engaged with the membership. 
• push for ambitious targets with a goal of being able to make a stronger legislative impact at Queens Park.
• ensure the GPO works in tandem with the Federal Green Party to make Toronto a new stronghold for the Green movement.
• build capacity in Toronto by founding CAs in all viable ridings, and by facilitating those CAs to work closely together towards common goals.
• limit the party’s exposure to risk by ensuring that we are in compliance with all applicable privacy, election and labour laws.
