Chris Chopik, Green Party of Ontario candidate in the St. Paul’s by-election, launched his campaign this week traveling the riding by bike.  From campaign events to delivering signs, Chopik has pledged to travel using pedal power.

Best known as Toronto’s Green Realtor, Chopik wants to demonstrate how easy it is to be a professional businessperson and live a green lifestyle through his actions and words.  In addition to seeing Chopik in the riding on his distinctive green bike, Chopik’s campaign is printing literature on FSC Certified paper and using signs made from recyclable materials.

“I’m running in this by-election because I want the voters of St. Paul’s to have an opportunity to make history by voting for a voice of real change.  I believe in the Green Party’s vision of a prosperous green economy that nourishes our families and communities, and I want to be a strong voice for a safe, healthy community here in St. Paul’s,” says Chopik.  “I will demonstrate my commitment to this vision through my words and actions during the campaign, as I do in my everyday life.”

Chopik is a leader in his community.  As a realtor in St. Paul’s, Chris is recognized for his work on market transformation in the real estate marketplace by advocating for solar power and resale home energy ratings. Founder of Evolution Green, Chris is a writer/contributor to Building Architect, organizer of the annual Strawberry and Asparagus Festival in St. Paul’s, a volunteer advisor to Green Enterprise Toronto, board member of LEAF and is a volunteer with Green Neighbours 21.  He has worked hard as a tireless advocate for green energy and green jobs.
