Membership in the provincial organization grants you membership in the federal organization, and vice-versa.
*Please note that becoming a member of the Provincial NDP automatically includes membership in the Federal NDP, and vice versa.
Marit Stiles heard from folks across our province on her All In For Ontario Tour. She continues to defend Ontario jobs, and to advocate for making life more affordable, fixing our crumbling schools, building homes and ending chronic homelessness, protecting and supporting renters, hiring more doctors, and stopping Doug Ford's bad deals and costly scandals.
We look forward to coming together to rebuild the party and engage in the democratic process of electing the next leader of the Federal NDP. This is our chance to strengthen our movement and push for bold, progressive change.
The City of Kitchener is situated on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee Peoples.
Kitchener Centre is situated on land that is the traditional home of the Chonnonton, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. These lands are part of the Haldimand Treaty of 1784, which includes the six miles on either side of the Grand River as treaty territory belonging to Six Nations of the Grand River. This territory is within the lands protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum. We acknowledge the ongoing presence and continuing accomplishments and contributions Indigenous peoples make in shaping Kitchener Centre. We are committed to welcoming and celebrating Indigenous cultures, languages, philosophies, and knowledge within our organization. We are committed to learning from and working with Indigenous communities to care for the land and water and build a more just and equitable future in Kitchener Centre.
