Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
Transition is based on, and inspired by, Permaculture principles. Permaculture is permanent agriculture and permanent culture. We will be approaching 'creating sustainable habitat' in many different ways: regular design & demonstration projects; Social permaculture; workshops. Permablitzes, Blitzes or Permaculture Energy Transfer or Pet Day are days that we go on site collectively create systems which cycle energy toward win win win economy. Food forests provide abundant gardens and parks for all, and structures are working in many ways, creating shade, capturing heat, collecting water. Together we will explore ecological urban and rural design.

Permaculture Strategies for 2012
Gregoire Lamoureux has been teaching & working with Permaculture for over 20 years in many parts of the country. He will share his experience of implementing a permaculture design on a small farm in the Kootenays. And he will also be talking about permaculture strategies that can be implemented on a smaller scale in the city. Other topics covered in the presentation will include the challenges & opportunities of working with permaculture in Canada.

No worries!
Oh, sorry I meant to post that in Hasting Sunrise!! I do like the idea of the Lion's Den, though we were thinking about meeting at a private house to make some rocket stoves. So, start collecting big tin cans, stove pipe, small tin cans, and tin snips. Date to come!!!
Hmmm...the next VV Meetup is the 19th, and since about 1/2 of the 25 participants at the meetup on Sunday at Strathcona CC were Permaculturalists, having a PV meeting and a Meetup on the same weekend might force people to choose between the two, to the detriment of both.
What about having PV on the 25th?
