GREENS GET GREENER

Greens get record donations in non-election year

Jun 10, 2019 | 7:37 AM

NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. — Delegates to the B-C Green Party’s weekend convention in New Westminster heard that the party received more than 710-thousand dollars in donations last year.

Treasurer Aird Flavelle noted it was a record amount for the party in a year with no election.

The party also received 830-thousand dollars from the B-C government as a result of its electoral performance, after the government introduced campaign finance reforms that banned corporate and union donations, and limited individual contributions.

The Greens received nearly 17 per cent of the popular vote in 2017, up from eight per cent in 2013, and elected three M-L-As to the 87 seat legislature.
