The Weaver - Leaders Message

SGP Leader Naomi Hunter

Dear Saskatchewan Greens,

Dear fellow Greens,

First and foremost, thank you so much to all of you who have stepped up to help this election effort with time and donations. Despite some very difficult new challenges to getting our candidates onto the ballot, we ended up fielding 58 out of a possible 61 candidates for MLA.  Daymion Tyndale for Last Mountain Touchwood, Herb Bellrose for White City-Qu’Appelle and Clayton Cave for Cypress Hills were incredible candidates and their input is still needed in the party. I sincerely hope they will run again. Their courage in stepping up is very much appreciated.

Be Part of Doing Politics Differently

Ever wondered why we beg for donations like a thirsty cactus? Like leaky buckets in a drought, we struggle with sporadic funds. Monthly donations provide a steady stream, allowing us to plan and expand effectively. Become a monthly donor and be a rainmaker. Your future self—and many others—will thank you!

The big bonus is that donations of $25 or more are eligible for a tax credit of up to 75% of your donation.

To donate by credit card, visit Donate - Saskatchewan Green Party or email [email protected] for your other options.
