ERIN – People's Party of Canada candidate, Pamela Geiger said she intends to represent "the voice of the people" in her riding this federal election.
Based in Erin, the Wellington-Halton Hills North candidate describes herself as an entrepreneur, published author, business coach, inspirational speaker, dedicated mother and business owner.
According to a Facebook post from Geiger, she was an "avid supporter" of the People's Party (PPC) in the past election, serving as a volunteer coordinator for the Wellington-Halton Hills North riding alongside the past candidate, Syl Carle, in 2021.
"I am beyond excited, in fact, I am thrilled to take on this important role at such a crucial time in Canadian history," said Geiger, in her post. "It is time that the people of this beautiful country we call home have a voice in the matters that are addressed and affect them, directly or indirectly in Ottawa."
Saying she's passionate about helping people find their voice and advocating for those who are unable to do so on their own, Geiger said she feels that Canada is at a pivotal time and it's her "civic duty" to use her strengths to "try to foster some change in our Canadian democracy."
The party is also looking to begin canvassing and advertising soon and Geiger said she intends to host regular non-partisan Town Hall meetings and members-only events to get a feel for what the people in her riding feel is important.
Geiger will run against the Conservative Party's Michael Chong, a longtime incumbent MP for Wellington-Halton Hills, a riding covering the townships of Centre Wellington, Guelph/Eramosa, Puslinch, Erin and Halton Hills.
The 45th Canadian federal election will take place on or before Oct. 20, 2025.
