Mike Schreiner, leader of the Ontario Green Party, has worked across party lines to support carbon pricing, ban hydraulic fracturing (fracking), secure provincial funding for the Experimental Lakes Area, reduce use of neonicotinoid pesticides, and gather support for provincial organic food regulations. He served on the boards of FarmStart, Green Enterprise Ontario, and the Toronto Food Policy Council, as well as the Rotary Guelph Environment Committee. In Guelph, he founded one of Ontario’s first local organic food distributors in 1995, and an organic food production business in the early 2000s. He was co-founder and vice president of Local Food Plus, an award-winning non-profit that connected local sustainable food producers with institutions, restaurants, and retailers.
