Transition in Vancouver: from fossil fuel dependence to relience (VV sponsored event)

Join leaders of the Transition movement in Vancouver for a 2-day workshop and dialogue introducing the principles, steps and lessons of the successful Transition Town model of local response to global challenges.

What are the lessons for activists and concerned citizens?

How can we increase resilience in every neighbourhood?

What are the ways we might collaborate to get the impacts that are needed?

The Transition Towns Movement was initiated over four years ago in Totnes, UK so citizens could take action and adapt their lives to peak oil and climate change. The movement has spread very quickly around the globe. The Transition Network was formed to support initiatives around the world; there are now over 300 official recognized initiatives, including seventeen in Canada. (And over a thousand others worldwide "mulling it over.")

Village Vancouver (VV) is the official Transition Hub for Metropolitan Vancouver. Within VV, there are a number of neighbourhood Transition Villages.
