Also during the Party’s AGM, the party members decided to update the Party’s logo by replacing the Trillium with the bull Moose. Our members wanted to draw a further separation from the Big 3 political parties by having a symbol in our logo that was truly representative of the North.
There were many activities that the members participated in during the AGM such as strategic planning, team building and problem-solving.
Trevor Holliday states that the Party’s First AGM was a complete success, lots of things fell into place that have made our party stronger and it has prepared us to take on the challenges in the upcoming election. Our party will continue to fight to represent all northerners and their families to ensure a strong and prosperous Northern Ontario for everyone.
