Alberta Greens General Meeting January 21, 2009

The new executive of the Alberta Greens has decided to convene a General Meeting of the party at which very significant decisions about the future of the party may be made.

Unfortunately, the timing and location of the meeting will serve to keep the majority of members who do not live in the vicinity from attending. Further, no provision is being made for mail-in ballots. This will effectively exclude the majority of existing members from having a meaningful say in the direction of the party.

Here is the text of the official announcement:

Alberta Greens
Box 628, Buck Lake, AB T0C 0T0

An important General Meeting of the Alberta Greens will be convened at 7:00 pm Wednesday January 21, 2009 at the Hoadley Community Hall in Hoadley, Alberta.
