Support Opportunities
The leading reason people live, work and play in Canby is
the quality of life that we have all come to enjoy. Everyone
benefits when citizens become involved and feel empowered to
make a direct difference in their own community.
Participants in Canby Livability sponsored projects
consistently comment that it felt good to work with
neighbors they had never met before and to be a part of
making a difference where they live. Some say they hesitated
to become involved in community concerns, because they
didn't know where to begin and felt overwhelmed. Canby
Livability is designed to bring citizens together and to
create win/win strategies that ultimately improve the
quality of life in our town.
Whether you were born and raised in Canby or you’re new to
the neighborhood, if you’re committed to the livability of
our community, then please consider our organization a
resource.

the Canby Livability Coalition. We'll take those unwanted automobiles
and the proceeds will support the Canby Livability Coalition. Your
automobile donation is important to our funding. Give us a hand
by making a automobile donation.
Become a Community Partner:
The Canby Livability Coalition is proud to be 100% dedicated
to utilizing and supporting only Canby Area businesses and
service providers. There are over 30 Canby based businesses
that provide quality services for our organization or
in-kind support for our established programs. If you're a
Canby based business that is interested in ways to be a part
of maintaining the quality of life in our community, please
contact
President Bob Tice. Another way to support Canby
Livability is to do business with our community partners and
compliment them for being a part of our various projects
focused on the quality of life in our town. Let them know
that you found them on our website!
Become An Advisor:
Do you have an area of concern or interest related to
quality of life issues in Canby that you would like
leadership support with? Canby Livability is designed to
combine resources, streamline volunteer efforts, identify
funding strategies, and bring like minded people together.
Bring your idea for an advisory position to one of Canby
Livability’s monthly meetings. Our board of advisors will
explore with you the current possibilities for your area of
interest. The time commitment of an advisor is determined by
how much time the individual wants to give to their area of
interest. Most communicating is done by email. Advisors
submit a brief monthly report on what is happening in their
area of interest as well as any upcoming needs and then
attend the monthly advisor meeting.
Attend a Monthly Meeting:
Canby Livability meets the 2nd Thursday of every month from
6:30 PM to 8:00 PM in the upstairs meeting room at Season's
Grill located at 101 N Elm St, Canby, OR, 503-266-3805.
Ordering dinner from the menu is optional. Advisor meetings
often begin with a guest speaker or other presentation.
Topics relate to new or upcoming community events, services,
or introduce a livability minded local organization. Next,
advisors give a brief overview of an event or project. This
is followed by new business, with the meeting ending
promptly 8:00 PM.
Find an Area of Interest:
Not sure of what you'd like to do or maybe you’re new to the
area? We invite you to meet with one of our advisors who
will help you to navigate the different areas of livability
in our community as well as the upcoming projects that might
be of interest you. Our team of advisors can
connect
you with resources and community programs that will help you
to identify what intrigues you the most. You might be
surprised at how many interesting opportunities there are in
our community. Discover how much of a difference you can
make with even a brief commitment of time.
Make a Donation:
Our organization believes that time, money, and energy are
all assets. We have a wide range of support opportunities
ranging from one time needs for skilled volunteers to our
vehicle donation program. Citizens with unique talents,
professional skills, or hobbies can be an enormous asset to
our organization. Our many projects can always use the
insight of artists, craftsmen, designers, coordinators,
event planners, organizers, bi-lingual services, secretarial
duties, equipment operators, technology professionals, and
service providers. We're always interested in diversifying
our support base and all levels of participation are
encouraged.
