Ontario Greens bring convention to Hamilton to re-energize caucus, target growth

The Ontario Green Party is looking to re-energize its caucus in Hamilton this weekend. The provincial Greens are holding their 2026 convention in the downtown core, and say they intend to prepare for “a long campaign.” Members of the Ontario Green Party were seen chatting following caucus workshops today, one of many items on the schedule of the party’s convention. “We’re just really bringing our party together this weekend to help continue to build a ‘people powered movement,'” said Ontario Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner. “We need politics that’s going to put every-day people ahead of the rich and powerful.” At the Hamilton Convention Centre downtown, Schreiner said that on top of environmental policies, the party continues to prioritize its campaign for more funding in health care, education and affordable homes. “The Ford government’s housing policies have led to the worst housing crisis in the Ontario’s history,” Schreiner said. “Housing costs are at an all-time high, and housing starts are at all-time lows.” “I put forward a bill that would legalize multiplexes and mid-rises as of right across the province, which is the fastest way to build homes that people can afford,” he added.
