Lend your labour – NDP Local
Financial donations are always important.
But money isn’t the most valuable thing you can give. Even better: your time, energy, and expertise.
As New Democrats in Toronto-St. Paul’s, we can pool our incredible resources and spread our values of fairness and justice to each block and apartment building in our community.
Tell us a little bit about your skills, and we’ll help you find a way to put those skills to good use.
We’re particularly looking for:
But any skills or lived-experience are welcome! So:
Welcome to our newsletter!
Our plan: about once a month, we’ll keep you up-to-date on the latest from the NDP riding associations here in Toronto-St. Paul’s. We hope you’ll find it useful. And always, feel free to tell us how we can make it better!

Presidents’ message: what’s next?
Our names are Liz Glor-Bell and James Arruda. We’re the presidents of the NDP riding associations here in Toronto St. Paul’s. Liz has been president of the provincial RA for three years, and James has been president of the federal RA since October.
From our points of view, our federal election campaign for Alok Mukherjee was a huge success. We had an impressive outreach to families and individuals in TSP, more volunteers than ever before, and we increased our vote share.
But we want to hear what you thought about our federal campaign. And how we can keep building on Jill Andrew’s incredible success and ensure she’s re-elected in the provincial election — it’s not that far away!
What do you think we should focus on next?
A) The environment
B) Housing costs
C) Ensuring the rich pay their fair share
D) Health: pharmacare and dentacare
