Green party appoints veteran journalist Jo-Ann Roberts as deputy leader
HALIFAX — Green party Leader Elizabeth May has appointed veteran journalist and broadcaster Jo-Ann Roberts as the party’s deputy leader.
May made the announcement Monday at a news conference in Halifax.
Roberts ran as the Green party candidate in Victoria, B.C., during the 2015 federal election, finishing second in the West Coast riding.
May said Roberts brings a “wealth of experience” to her new job as a communicator, “but also as a tireless advocate for public broadcasting and a dedicated campaigner on climate change, income inequality, housing, and democratic reform.”
