There is no reference to her leadership on the party's official website.{{cite web|url=http://www.uoguelph.ca/~whulet/OGN/Vol1Issue1/Frank_De_Jong.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160219095912/http://www.uoguelph.ca/~whulet/OGN/Vol1Issue1/Frank_De_Jong.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 19, 2016 |title=Green Party of Ontario History |date=2015-11-18 |access-date=2015-12-25}}
