25 resolutions to renew our Party
We need your help to Renew and Rebuild our Party. The 2026 Convention resolution submission deadline is January 27, 2026.
As New Democrats we currently only get the chance to come together at our National Convention every two years to formally renew our party through amending our Constitution, updating our Policy Book and giving formal Directives to the Party. Electing a new Leader is an important step to Renewing and Rebuilding our Party, but convention resolutions and renewing our Party’s democracy are also fundamental to our future success.

In the appendices to this document, you will find the NDP Renewal Initiative draft resolutions for the March 2026 National Convention in Winnipeg. These resolutions are written with the goal of starting the profound renewal of our party from the bottom up. In many cases, the resolutions build on recommendations that come from the Party’s Review and Renewal Report that was drafted by Emilie Taman and submitted to the membership last month. In other cases, the resolutions reflect grass roots concerns that we have heard from the thousands of NDP members that filled out our online surveys, attended our engagement forums and interacted with our Polis online engagement tool.
NDP Renewal is an initiative by NDP members, for NDP members and supporters … but we are not a formal constitutional body of the NDP so cannot therefore submit resolutions to convention directly. This is why we need your help.
Please review the draft resolutions in the appendix. If you like what you see please share them with your local NDP Electoral District Association (EDA), Affiliate or Standing Committee for approval and formally submit them to the Party at:

If you prefer to change what you see, we encourage you to amend our draft resolutions.

The important thing is that with many of us focussed on the Leadership Race and member sign up, we can’t afford to miss this critical January 27th deadline to submit convention resolutions because we may not get another opportunity for another two years.
