Material relates to the Fort William Riding Association of the Ontario Confederation of Regions Party. Rogers was President of the Riding Association, and the records consist largely of his correspondence in this role.
Records relate to Party registration, and to membership, finances, and activities during the period 1989-1991, a period of trying to raise interest in Party membership and participation. Ultimately, the Fort William Riding Association folded in 1991.
The Ontario Provincial Confederation of Regions Party (COR) was established in 1989 as the Federal party was dissolved. The party was generally conservative, opposing bilingualism and multiculturalism, while also supporting environmental and farmland protections. In the 1990 Ontario election, COR received just under 2% of the vote, which would be their highest showing.
