Michael Schreiner - Building A Prosperous Green Economy - Part 1

Mike Schreiner

Leader, Green Party of Ontario

Is there more to the Green political movement than environmentalism? Is a Green economy possible? What does it even mean?

Once party members confirm their vote on November 14th, 2009, Mike Schreiner will be the leader of the Green Party of Ontario. No stranger to PublicVoice.tv, Mike is a successful and respected entrepreneur and community advocate and is interested in solutions to protect our natural heritage through creating a strong, green economy. As leader, Mike will fight for prosperous communities, green jobs and promoting healthy living.

Mike operated his own food distribution business for over 10 years that specialized in delivering local and natural foods to homes in Toronto. Building on that success, he established Local Food Plus, which works to bring farmers and consumers together to promote financially, socially and environmentally sustainable local food systems.

Actively involved in the Green Party of Ontario (GPO) for the past six years, Mike Schreiner was most recently the GPO candidate for the Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock by-election.

For the first time in the party’s history, Mike Schreiner will be a full-time leader who will travel the province in support of Constituency Associations and community engagement activities. An experienced fundraiser, Mike intends to turn the GPO into a well funded political party to ensure the Green voice is heard in the Legislature and across Ontario.
