This is not an official website of the New Democratic Party of Canada. The NDP Renewal Initiative was founded by activists and is powered entirely by volunteers.
NDP Renewal is an initiative by NDP members, for NDP members and supporters.
The NDP Renewal Initiative was founded to engage and encourage Canadians to join the NDP, get involved with their local NDP Associations, and participate in the renewal and rebuilding of our Party.
NDP Renewal does not support or oppose any candidate for the leadership of the New Democratic Party of Canada, and encourages all NDP members to get actively involved in the leadership campaign of their choice.
The NDP belongs to all of us. Together, we can renew and rebuild.
Our Party has faced collapse before
In 1958, after the fall of the CCF, grassroots renewal gave birth to the New Democratic Party. In 1993, following another electoral collapse, the NDP launched the 1995 Renewal Initiative that brought members together in hundreds of meetings across Canada, leading to major reforms and policy directions that carried the Party forward.
Today, we stand at a similar crossroads. The 2025 election was the worst in our history, and the need for rebuilding is greater than ever. At a time where staff resources are limited, our party needs help. That is why the 2026 NDP Renewal Initiative was founded by activists and is powered entirely by volunteers.
Our Vision
The NDP Renewal Initiative is not just about restoring a party, it’s about reigniting the progressive movement in Canada. We want to rebuild the political home for those who believe in equality, equity, democracy, sustainability, solidarity, and cooperation.
Through surveys, discussions, and town halls with past voters, members, unions, civil society, and riding associations, we are working toward a package of proposals to be debated at the 2026 Convention in Winnipeg. These will set out clear values, policies, and structural reforms to chart a bold new course for the NDP’s future.
How you can help
The foundation of Renewal starts with the membership. We intend to ask the tough questions and hold the transparent debates needed to rebuild our Party. Our results will be shared with members, affiliates, and allies, because the NDP belongs to all of us.
Join us in shaping a stronger, more just NDP — one where no one is left behind, and everyone has a voice. Together, we can renew and rebuild.
