Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath To Join Cindy Forster And Local Leaders In Celebration
News from the Office of Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath
Welland, Ontario – The Welland NDP Provincial Riding Association believes that forty continuous years of strong and progressive representation at Queen’s Park is well worth celebrating.
This memorial poster was produced in the wake of Peter Kormos’ sudden passing in 2013. The former Welland MPP was a Niagara regional councilor at the time of his death.
Starting with the election of political icon Mel Swart in 1975 and continuing with Peter Kormos in 1988 and current MPP Cindy Forster in 2011, it’s a remarkable achievement.
To mark this special occasion, the Welland NDP Provincial Riding Association, along with Cindy Forster and special guest, Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath, will be hosting an anniversary dinner on November 28th.
It will be an evening of celebration to commemorate this important milestone in the riding’s history. It will be an opportunity to look back at the accomplishments of these MPPs and celebrate the hard work and support of so many over the years.
Seating is limited and tickets are now on sale.
Mel Swart was elected MPP for the Welland Riding 40 years ago. Shown here a decade ago at a designation of the Niagara Escarpment as a ‘World Biosphere’,Mel Swart, who championed environmental conservation in Niagara and across Ontario, died in 2007.
