Thornhill General Meeting

As a Registered Liberal, you’re invited to attend the General Meeting of the Thornhill 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 the
Dufferin Clark Community Centre – Rooms 14 and 15
Located at
1441 Clark Avenue West, Thornhill, ON
on
April 23, 2023 at 7:30 PM.

Attendees are expected to follow local public health measures while participating in the General Meeting, and should contact their local public health authorities for any further up-to-date information and guidance for their area.

The EDA Board of Directors is often the first point of contact that Canadians will have with the Liberal Party of Canada. 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.
