Build our Connections

In a chaotic world, we have the opportunity to build something better—together. The challenges we face, from housing to economic growth to supporting young people, aren’t unsolvable. They just require a community willing to step up, share connections, and develop real solutions.

That’s what we’re doing.

By signing up, you’ll be part of a network focused on taking action. We’re organizing issue-based meet-ups in the Kootenays where people come together, share ideas, and learn how to create meaningful change in our communities.

Real Solutions in Action

Communities across our riding are already leading the way with innovative solutions to our biggest challenges. From climate action to civic engagement, these initiatives show that real change happens when people come together. Here are some examples of what's working in our region:

What is the Youth Climate Corps?

The Youth Climate Corps (YCC) provides young people with paid opportunities to work on climate action projects while developing skills and leadership experience. Their work focuses on reducing emissions, restoring ecosystems, and strengthening community resilience.

By supporting programs like YCC, we ensure the next generation has the tools and experience needed to build a sustainable future. Our initiative draws from this model, giving young people a role in shaping real solutions.

What Nelson Nest Lab?

The Nelson Nest Lab was a community-driven initiative that brought people together to tackle local challenges. It focused on collaboration, resource-sharing, and problem-solving, helping shape Nelson Next, the city’s climate action plan. The lab demonstrated how grassroots efforts can drive real change, proving that when communities work together, they can build lasting solutions.

We’re taking that same approach here. By joining our issue-based meet-ups, you’ll be part of a network that turns ideas into action—helping to build a stronger, more connected future for everyone.

What is Neighbours United Deep Canvassing?

Neighbours United, formerly West Kootenay EcoSociety, pioneered deep canvassing to foster meaningful conversations on climate and energy issues. This approach focuses on listening, sharing personal experiences, and creating space for open discussions.

By using deep canvassing techniques, Neighbours United helped shift perspectives and build support for climate action, even in resource-based communities. Our issue-based meet-ups take inspiration from this method, creating opportunities for community members to connect, share values, and work toward real solutions together.

"Working with Councillor Page on Greater Nelson Economic Development has been a pleasure. He is passionate about his community, committed to delivering results, and brings creativity to a diverse range of projects. His dedication and hands-on approach make him a valuable partner in driving meaningful progress. Keith would be great for our region, as he understands the needs of rural communities and would bring the same level of action, commitment, and results to federal discussions."
