Green Party of New Brunswick GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21
The Green Party of New Brunswick (PVNBGP; French: Parti vert du Nouveau-Brunswick), commonly known as the Greens, is a green provincial political party in New Brunswick, Canada. Formed in 2008, the party has been under the leadership of David Coon since 2012. The party currently holds two seats in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, making it the only minor party in the province currently represented in the legislative assembly.
On November 15, 2008 it held a founding convention in Moncton where the membership adopted a constitution, and a charter of principles to guide the development of policies and platforms. A 12-member Executive Committee was elected. In September 2009, Jack MacDougall was acclaimed as the first leader of the party, serving under the position until stepping down in September 2011. Greta Doucet served as interim leader until the leadership convention in 2012. David Coon succeeded Doucet as leader.
In the 2014 provincial election, Coon became the first Green Party candidate to be elected in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick. In the 2018 provincial election, the party elected three MLAs. In the 2020 provincial election, those three MLAs were all re-elected.
History
New Brunswick's Green Party was formed on May 18, 2008, the last province in the Maritimes to do so. Established during a Fredericton meeting, the party seized the opportunity presented by the province's decline in NDP presence, positioning itself as an alternative for such voters. Upon its formation, it became under elected interim leadership by Mike Milligan. In September 2009, the Green Party acclaimed its first leader, former Liberal organizer and candidate Jack MacDougall. After MacDougall resigned in September 2011, the party leadership has held in an interim capacity by Greta Doucet until September 2012, when the party elected conservationist David Coon at its leadership convention.
In the 2014 election, the Greens secured their first ever seat in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick and became the second Canadian Green party to win a provincial legislative seat, with leader David Coon having defeated the incumbent Progressive Conservative Energy Minister Craig Leonard in the Fredericton South riding. Some of Coon's key messages at the time included his opposition to fracking as well as the Energy East pipeline.
On September 14, 2023, the party announced the appointing of Kevin Arseneau and Megan Mitton as Deputy Leaders by leader Coon.
