Farms to Friends
Farms to Friends was a lifeline for families and seniors across the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada. We connected households with fresh, local, and healthy food while investing over $276,000 back into the local economy. How? We bought directly from local farmers and food producers. This program has not only strengthened our food systems but also fostered a deeper connection between local farmers, community members, and the land our food comes from.
100% Renewable Kootenays
Renewable energy, clean energy jobs, healthy communities. We need West Kootenay communities to join the global movement and phase out fossil fuels and transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050. Neighbours United has worked with grassroots community leaders, businesses and local governments to get to 100% renewable energy.
Afford to Live
Every Canadian deserves to have their basic needs met and live with dignity.
Caring for our neighbours means making sure everyone can afford to heat & cool their homes to stay comfortable and safe. It means everyone can afford to get to work, daycare, school, and the grocery store, and have their basic medical needs met.
Not everyone has the resources to keep safe from the most harmful effects of climate change. Our vulnerable neighbours need your help to stay safe from fires, floods, and extreme heat and cold.
It is time our governments implement a guaranteed livable basic income so no one has to struggle to survive.
End Unfair Oil and Gas Breaks
We have relied on forestry, mining, and oil and gas jobs to support our families and communities.
But now we are getting an unfair deal. Oil and gas workers are losing their jobs, while CEOs and companies still get over $1 billion in tax benefits from the Government.
This is money being taken away from the services we need, like healthcare and affordable housing, and retraining workers into clean energy jobs.
Tell our government to put our needs before those of big polluters.
Community in Nature
People are searching for ways to keep their drinking water clean and homes and families safe from flooding, drought, and forest fires.
And when we create awareness about the value of our ecosystems within our communities, industries and government, we can all work together to take care of our natural resources for years to come.
We are here to help and have a guide for people like us who want to make a difference in our backyards so our communities can be healthy and safe.
