CHARLOTTETOWN – The Green Party of P.E.I. recently nominated its candidates for District 27 Tignish-Palmer Road and District 10 Charlottetown-Winsloe.

At a packed nomination event held Wednesday at the Tignish Legion, Green party members nominated educator, entrepreneur and community volunteer Sean Doyle as their candidate for District 27.

“I am excited and honoured to be chosen to represent the Green party,” said Doyle. “The Green party is an inclusive grassroots party which incorporates all the concerns, hopes, and dreams of we people of West Prince. We have tremendous potential and opportunity as rural Prince Edward Islanders, and I look forward to being part of the movement which helps us achieve every bit of that potential. The time has come to ‘refresh the west’."

Doyle, a life-long resident of the district, lives in North Cape with his wife, Nancy, and daughters Emily and Gabrielle.

He has been teaching in West Prince schools for a decade and said he understands the educational situations and goals of rural students.

Doyle is also a founder of the Tignish Dinner Theatre Inc., a local theatre business dedicated to producing dinner theatre shows in West Prince.

At another nomination meeting held at the Milton Hall Thursday, Amanda Morrison accepted the nomination to be the Green party candidate for District 10 Charlottetown-Winsloe.

“It’s a privilege to be chosen to represent the Green party in District 10,” said Morrison. “This party is so inclusive and gives such a strong voice to every Islander that it will be an honour to carry the Green banner throughout this district. Our Island has tremendous potential and it’s time to unleash it with this election. We are a strong vibrant and diverse community of leaders, and I look forward to working with the great people of this district.”

Morrison is a writer and creative designer for e-learning and educative technology resources.

She is a master of education candidate at UPEI, with a focus on 21st-century teaching and learning.

In addition, Morrison is a photographer who has run her own business since 2012. She lives in Charlottetown with her husband, Brent, and their young sons Rhett and Emmett.

The Green party has a total of 22 nominated candidates. The party said it plans to fill its full slate of 27 candidates at a nomination meeting to be held April 1.
