As part of our recognition, Veronica Wynne was presented with the Ruth Franks Award of Volunteer Excellence for the most outstanding volunteer in our riding over the past year by PHP Riding President Karin McNair and Ruth Franks.

Organized by the Youth Committee, this event attracted youth and families in support of the beautification of the local park in the Junction.

Stay tuned for future activities from the energetic Youth Committee.

Victory Fund Challenge

The Parkdale-High Park Federal Liberal Association is one of the most active riding associations in the GTA.  Our participation, and our financial support, is a reflection of our values as Liberals. The Conservatives and the NDP have some advantages in the category of fundraising, and our riding needs to lead the way in closing the gap. Sign up here to contribute a monthly donation to the party and your riding (as little as $10 a month!), half going to our association and half going to the national party. With tax credits, you get up to 75% of your donation back at tax time!

We need to be organized, effective, and funded, both in Ottawa and in Parkdale-High Park. With your help, we can better advance the ideals we share as Liberals.

For help setting up your Victory Fund contribution, email Marjorie Horeis, our Victory Fund Chair.
