Green party elizabeth may biography of michael

Elizabeth May's life is defined by one word: service. Service to community, country and planet.

Leader of green party canada 2024

One of Canada's best-known parliamentarians, she is a life long environmentalist. From 2006 to 2019, she led the Green Party of Canada through four federal elections, including the breakthrough 2011 election in which she became Canada's first elected Green.

From her early years as an environmental activist, struggling financially while waiting tables at the family restaurant in Cape Breton, to her work, as a single mom, bringing the voices of underprivileged communities to the halls of power, she has been a trail blazer for generations of Canadian women and activists.

Elizabeth was the first Canadian environmentalist to identify how environmental racism caused marginalized people to be exposed to unacceptable threats to their health.

Elizabeth used her legal training and resources to assist Indigenous peoples in Canada and around the world.
