The Trillium Party of Ontario had its first seed planted in 2014. It was at this time that the Liberals of Ontario and the Progressive Conservatives where battling it out to be in charge of what was left of our province.

Please consider the Trillium Party as a viable alternative to what is out here now. Amazing things can happen when you honestly ask for SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SOMETHING BETTER!
