OTTAWA – Green Party of Canada Leaders, Elizabeth May and Jonathan Pedneault (currently Deputy Leader) are delighted to announce the appointment of Rainbow Eyes as second Deputy Leader. Ooh-mah Ah-nise! As the Green Party moves towards officially adopting co-leadership, the two existing positions of Deputy Leader will be maintained. “We are immensely pleased and honored that Rainbow Eyes, currently standing convicted of criminal contempt for her defense of the old growth forest of Fairy Creek, has accepted a senior role within the Green Party of Canada. As they await sentencing, we, as Greens, couldn’t be prouder of Rainbow Eyes for her personal courage, integrity, and deep allegiance to our living world,” said Deputy Leader Jonathan Pedneault. As Deputy Leader, Rainbow Eyes will work closely with Elizabeth May and Jonathan Pedneault to promote the Green Party’s vision and values, and to engage with Canadians from all backgrounds.
