Eileen Higdon

Born in Scotland, trained as a Registered Nurse and Midwife came to Canada in 1973. We moved to Pickering in 1979. I have three sons, three grand daughters.

I was elected to Pickering Town Council in 1991.

1992-2002 I founded and ran The Frenchmans Bay Festival and organized the community to paint fishes on 80% of storm drains in urban Pickering.

In 1995-2007 I sat on the Durham Halliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Council as Pickering's representative.

I am the executive director of St. Mary Madeline Roman Catholic Women's Priest Community under auspices of Rev. Roberta Fuller.

We must stand for a radically different approach to our global climate crisis and stand-tall against the fear-mongering. When we believe in change and commit to a whole-hearted effort we are able to achieve incredible things together. When we look at Health-Care in this country, the Pension Index, Tax Reform, and the Constitution of Canada Act we can see the potential that we the NDP carry, when we walk, arm-in-arm, with each other towards a better future for our country and our children.
