We are grateful to all our volunteers and donors. Without them, the Association would not exist and our candidate would not be elected.

If you are interested in volunteering for the local Electoral District Association, please contact us at conservative@carleton-mississippimills.ca .

The Carleton-Mississippi Mills Conservative Association is deeply appreciative of the members who volunteered their valuable time to help with our fall 2005 fund raising campaign, which was, again, very successful. With these funds we are mounting a strong campaign to keep our party in power after the next election.

Donations from members are the lifeblood of our organization and members who volunteer are the heart of our organization. We extend a heartfelt thank you to all of those who donated and all of those who worked the phones.

Volunteers are the backbone of our Association. We rely on volunteers for the succesful and effective operation of, virtually, every aspect of our organization. Whether we are getting out a mass mailing to our members, hosting an event, conducting a fundraising campaign, or running an election campaign, we need volunteers.

Like most non-profit, volunteer based organizations, we can always use more people to pitch in and help. We know how busy people are these days, so we don’t expect our members to make burdensome time commitments. However, we do ask that anyone who can contribute some volunteer time on an occasional basis, to please add your name to our volunteer list. Following is a list of jobs for which we, periodically, require volunteers.

1. Telephone Calling – If you are comfortable talking to people on the telephone, perhaps you would consider becoming a regular phone caller to help with our membership or fundraising drives and our effort to Get Out The Vote (GOTV).
2. Fundraising – We welcome people with fundraising experience to assist with developing new ideas to raise funds for the Association and to help during fundraising events/campaigns.
3. Events – Help with the organization and running of special events hosted by the Association.
4. Election – a lot of help is required during an election campaign, including organizing, telephoning, door-to-door canvassing, get out the vote activities, poll scrutineers, poll captains, etc.

The Carleton-Mississippi Mills Conservative Association serves federal conservative interests in the Canadian federal electoral district of Carleton-Mississippi Mills, located just West of Canada’s capital city, Ottawa, Ontario. 

The Carleton-Mississippi Mills Conservative Association was founded in response to the historic “unite the right” merger between the former Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance Parties that created the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC). The first few months of the Association’s existence were busy and marked by a number of significant events. The founding meeting was quickly followed by a candidate selection process, a CPC leadership vote and a federal election which brought the riding its first Member of Parliament, our own candidate, Gordon O’Connor.

Following is a brief history of the key events impacting the creation and work of the Carleton-Mississippi Mills Conservative Association.

16 October 2003: Canadian Alliance Leader, Stephen Harper, and Progressive Conservative Leader, Peter McKay, announced that they had reached an agreement in principle to merge their two parties. Members of both Parties subsequently participated in a mail-in vote to either confirm or reject the merger proposal. Both memberships voted overwhelmingly in favour of unifying the two Parties.

8 December 2003: The new Conservative Party of Canada was officially registered as a new entity with Elections Canada.

12 January 2004: Founding meeting held in Stittsville to establish the Carleton-Lanark Conservative Association, in response to two key events:

• The merger of the former Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance Parties in December 2003.
• The anticipated electoral boundary changes that brought about the formation of the Carleton-Lanark (later renamed Carleton-Mississippi Mills) Electoral District.

21 February 2004:Gordon O’Connor chosen by the membership as the Conservative candidate for Carleton-Lanark in the next federal election.

20 March 2004: The Conservative Party Leadership Vote takes place, with thousands of members across Canada casting ballots. Stephen Harper was elected as the first leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.

28 June 2004: Gordon O’Connor elected as the first Member of Parliament for Carleton-Mississippi Mills. Voters in our Riding turned out in record numbers, with about 76% of eligible voters casting a ballot. Gordon received more votes than any other candidate in Ontario, and won the seat with 50% of the votes.

23 January 2006: Gordon O’Connor re-elected as the Member of Parliament for Carleton-Mississippi Mills. Gordon received 56% of the votes, more than double any other candidate in this Riding.

06 February 2006: Gordon O’Connor sworn in as Minister of National Defence in the new Conservative government.

14 August 2007: Gordon O’Connor sworn in as Minister of National Revenue in the Conservative government.

30 October 2008: Gordon O’Connor sworn in as Minister of State and Chief Government Whip in the Conservative government.
