History of this Organization
This organization preceded from the original Dartmouth-Cole Harbour PPC Association of 2018/2019. In early 2021, the People’s Party national/HQ leadership decided to amalgamate most per-district organizations into more manageable regional bodies. On February 13, 2021, a meeting was held for the Halifax region to discuss amalgamation. Opportunity was given to all current PPC members to attend. Paul Lindsay, past CEO of Dartmouth-Cole Harbour, was appointed new CEO of the amalgamated organization, which encompasses Halifax-West, Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook, Halifax, and Dartmouth-Cole Harbour. The new Regional Association structure allows for a riding director position for each district contained in the organization. This person shall work with the CEO, and represent their respective district.
The benefit with respect to the new organizational structure includes closer contact to concerned citizens in the riding, and faster contact between the executive and the candidate-of-record (the most recent candidate) to ensure citizens’ concerns are acknowledged, discussed, and acted upon in each riding in as close to real-time as possible.
