About this event

Join us for a Deep Canvass for Old Growth Forests in Vernon!

Date: Sat Nov 30 2024

Time: 10:00 AM

Location: People Place

The current N.D.P. government's has unveiled a framework for a potentially pivotal law — a direct response to the urgent need for action on old-growth logging and forest ecosystems in BC. This legislation, known as the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health Law, has the potential to drastically change how we manage one of Canada’s most important natural resources. With your help, we can make sure this framework becomes law and will be the change we need for B.C.'s forestry practices.

Join us to learn the skills of deep canvassing to make a lasting impact and unite with like-minded individuals in a journey of preservation. This is a great opportunity to build connections and take action to make a positive impact. Don't miss out on this chance to be a part of something meaningful!

Frequently asked questions

What is Deep Canvassing?

Deep canvassing, is a practice for having vulnerable, emotional, and nonjudgmental conversations in person that last 10-25 minutes with someone who feels differently about an issue.

I want to come but I don't feel comfortable leading a conversation with a stranger just yet.

That is 100% okay. We need canvassers (door knockers) and canvass buddies (video recorders). Both are really important roles and there is training for both roles so no prior experience is needed.

Can I use this as volunteer hours?

Yes, we would be happy to sign off on any needed volunteer hours!

What should I bring?

We will have everything you need. Just bring some water, wear comfy shoes, and dress for the weather :)
