Why is the registration fee $50?

Send an email to: info@nl.ndp.ca. The Party is committed to ensuring any member who wants to attend Convention can attend regardless of ability to pay.

Will there be an opportunity for members to get together in person?
Yes. There are plans for a social during Convention weekend for those who live in, or are visiting, the St. John’s area. More details to come!
