What is Neighbours United deep canvassing?

Neighbours United website with the tagline "Helping you defend the people and places you love"

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.
