Betty Paschen

Elizabeth Emily Paschen (February 26, 1927 - March 14, 2019)[1] was a Canadian environmentalist and former provincial level politician from Alberta, Canada.

Paschen became leader of the Alberta Greens after founder Norman Conrad moved out of the province.

Paschen received 4.54% of the vote and finished fifth out of sixth place, losing to Barrie Chivers a candidate for the New Democrats.

The party did not make much of an impact as it only fielded a slate of 11 candidates winning 0.20% of the popular vote and finishing second last over all.
