As a Registered Liberal, you’re invited to attend the General Meeting of the Hamilton Centre Federal Liberal Association.

As you may know, these general meetings for your local Liberal Electoral District Association (EDA) give us all an exciting chance to build up our local team for the year ahead. Table Officers and Directors will be chosen by you, and fellow Liberals in your area.

This is an exciting time to be involved in the Liberal Party of Canada, as we work together to keep Canada moving forward and Justin Trudeau’s plan to build a better and fairer future for all Canadians.

The meeting will be held at
Mills Hardware
Located at
95 King Street East, Hamilton, ON

October 21, 2022 at 7:00 PM.

Serving on your EDA Board is a great way to develop your skills, to cultivate relationships, and to engage with community leaders – regardless of how much or how little experience you may have with political engagement.

Members of the board will be responsible for engaging Canadians at the community level, hosting events, fundraising, and most importantly, building towards the next federal election whenever it eventually arrives.

If you would like to serve in a position on the EDA board of directors, you must submit your intent to stand to the National Returning Officer through this Online Form by no later than October 7, 2022 at 11:59PM local time.
