Village Vancouver turned four in May 2012, and recently opened up invitations for interested parties to become Society members.
The worldwide Transition Movement, of which we're a proud member, has spread like wildfire, and currently includes over 950 initiatives in more than 30 countries, from Brazilian favelas to Italian villages to city and region-wide hubs.
Focusing on inspiring positive actions that build resilient and sustainable communities, we've evolved into one of the largest and most active Transition initiatives on the planet, with thousands of members and upwards of 250-300 activities a year.
As the official Transition Hub for metropolitan Vancouver, we've accomplished a lot in just a few years, including:
  • Growing with local and international Transition Movements
  • Holding workshops, gatherings and playing a leading role in helping thousands acquire new skills in events such as Transition School (now in its 5th year) at Langara College's Sustainable Communities Summer School
  • Widespread recognition as a leader in the sustainable food movement including Neighbourhood Food Networks, Beekeeping, Seed Saving, Gardening and Backyard Chicken Networks
  • Initiating work on FED-AP - a Food Community Resiliency Plan, promoting urban farming and agriculture, community gardens and coming together to celebrate food and build community
  • Working to create vibrant local economies including a community currency, greater community connectivity and self-reliance, more energy reduction and less dependence on fossil fuels
  • Developing neighbourhood emergency preparedness, in coordination with city emergency services, to reach deeper into the community to build resiliency and strengthening our ability to respond to disaster.
We'll be discussing where we've been, where we're at, and where we're going. All members in good standing are eligible to vote, and members can run for the Board. There are 10 positions to be filled. For a list of current members of the board, click here.
Village runs on people power and we look forward to your participation -- and to having some fun!
