About C.A.N.

Churchill Area Neighbors (C.A.N.) is your city-recognized Neighborhood Organization.  We represent a direct link between you, the diverse citizens of the Churchill Area, and the city of Eugene.  We are not a homeowner’s association.

Run by neighborhood volunteers, we work on issues around land use, transportation, equity, and general livability affecting the neighbors in our area.  If you rent a home or own one, or you have a business in CAN, you are a member and are entitled to vote for board members, ask the board to focus on certain areas, and also volunteer.
