GreenPAC is a Canadian environmental organization founded in 2014 with the goal to help recruit, elect, and support environmental leadership in Canadian politics.
2015 federal election campaign
GreenPAC's inaugural campaign was during the 2015 Canadian federal election, in which they endorsed 18 MP candidates from four national parties who were deemed to have strong environmental track records by a panel of Canadian environmental experts.[1] Only candidates considered to be in winnable situations were endorsed.[2] GreenPAC encouraged Canadians to support these endorsed candidates' campaigns through donations or by volunteering.
