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.

Hi Jill, Feb. 18th looks good for me so far! What plans do you have for the kitchen? Just so you know, if we ever need a kitchen for something there is a good one at the Lion's Den Recreation Centre at Commercial and Adanac that their program coordinator says is barely used in the afternoons and evenings and she'd be happy to have other community groups make use of it.
Short a venue, I will ask Kiwassa for use of their kitchen and adjoining room. How is February 18th for everyone?
Happy New Year!
Come to the meeting at Kiwassa if you can make it!
New projects underway!
