=== Identifying the Issue ===

# '''Initial Contact''': The process began with door-to-door canvassing by the organizer, Don Keating. He introduced himself to residents and asked about their concerns and interests in improving the neighborhood.
#* '''Example Script''': “Hello, my name is Don Keating. I’m a community worker calling on Grant Street and talking to people about their interest in problems and improvements. What about you?”
# '''Discovering the Problem''': Through these conversations, Keating quickly identified a common issue: the stench and unsanitary conditions caused by the Sunnybrook Meat Packers. Residents complained about the bloody water runoff from the plant, which attracted flies, dogs, and posed health risks.
