Hi Ross,

Okay- I'm a bit of a pest- how to I join the beekeeping group? It doesn't seem to come as an option under groups.

Hi Ross, thanks for your message. How do I join the Kits group?

Thanks for organizing the potluck Ross. I will be away from June 10 - 15 or so... I hope I'm in town when you meet for the potluck.

Yep, I got one from Shauna

Thanks Ross! This VV site looks really cool!!

are you up for a visit and chat in the next couple of weeks? weekend is busy, but most evenings are pretty good for us.

Hi Ross,
Thanks for the invitation, lots of interesting ideas on this site!

Thanks Ross! How did the meeting at SVNH go? I look forward to joining the Learning Opportunities group, just need to get through the first week of classes!

Thanks for the invite. If I can make the meeting in the next month or or so, I look forward to seeing you.

Ross,
I spoke to the CBC reporter and assured her that my spoken French was not up to her requirements. I offered to put the word out to the community that she was hoping to interview a bilingual member of our local backyard chicken community but do not have her contact info?

Thanks, Ross. You may be interested in an event I'm putting on on October 10 at the eatART lab, 577 Great Northern Way (around the back). It's called "Reinventing the Prayer Wheel" and is in conjunction with the 350.org 10/10/10 Global Work Party on climate change. http://www.350.org/reinventing-prayer-wheel

Ross,

We all kind of got busy in the summer & Bruno went to France. We'll try to kick things off again in the fall when the dust settles.

In the meantime, we've been doing drop-in canning sessions under the Food Security Society.

It would be great if we could do that Ross. We have a fair amount of material we've developed for Bowen that we'd like on our own page but would also like it to be accessible to VV.

Both Karen & Ian are doing the workshops. It's been a great canning year for sure, although fruit harvests have been abysmal in Richmond. No apples to speak for.

Arzeena

Hey Ross,
Yes I am back! Just been settling in with school and work. My schedule is pretty established now so I have been waiting for an event that fits in!

Looks like you guys were busy this summer.

will get the groove back

Hi Ross,
Thank you for the nice Welcome as well as the wonderful Thanksgiving evening and delicious dinner! Im looking forward to finding out more about Village Vancouver, it seems a really interesting network!
Cheers,
Lena

Ross,
It was good to meet you again at the transition workshop and I am happy to join Vancouver Village and try to get things started in Port Coquitlam. Thanks for the invitation to join.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the invitation to join Kitsilano Village. Unfortunately I was not able to attend the potluck last Sunday but I will definitely follow up what is going on at Village Vancouver.

Thanks for the invite Ross! I look forward to many future events! - Jane

Hi Ross...
It was great to connect with you at the seed saving workshop on the weekend. I have just spent some time looking more thoroughly at the Village Vancouver site, and checking out the diverse collection of groups which have formed so far....I am excited to be connecting with this growing community!
Miel

Yep, I try to put only heirloom in so we can collect seeds. Passed on most excellent collection before we moved (then moving van wasn't even inspected, alas), but aim to rebuild here - only pulled a few things this year though. Pole beans, tomato, no brassicae family stuff yet (maybe will seed in spring?), lettuce shriveled and didn't really seed, carrots are only year one. But it'll come together. Great that VV is offering seed saving classes.

I need to spend some time on this website to figure it out. More importantly i need to meet more Cedar Cottage/Trout Lake folks. Good to be working back in Vancouver now, it'll be easier.

Hope this finds you well. Tamara

Thanks for the welcome, Ross! I'm really looking forward to being a part of Village Vancouver and the Kitsilano Group!

Freya

Thanks Ross. I'm eager to get involved and learn more about VV.

Hi Ross, this site is a great addition to VV. Congrats to all concerned! My own focus has shifted further north to Cortes Island. Check out my blog at www.may-s-garden.blogspot.com

Hi Ross, Thanks for the notice on that workshop. I am going to sneak it into agenda, hopefully.

Cheers

I emailed the NZ guy (an old boyfriend) but he decided not to pursue - what cowards some men are! Hope to see you soon. I'm intending to go to the movie/ community potluck on Nov 22nd. I'm very busy with my many interests and activism which is why you haven't seen me around - cheers Angela

Hey Ross,

I'm definitely interested. I have basic general knowledge in regards to seed saving and would like to learn a lot more!

Have a great day!

Thanks for the welcome Ross! I've been highlighting your latest classes in Strathcona on my homesteading blog wolfandfinch.tumblr.com.

I will check out the Urban Markets page you suggested too. thanks again!

Caitlin

Fantastic! Thanks for the invite :) re: co-ops, I'm interested in all kinds and have yet to decide in what direction to focus my energy! I'm playing around with some ideas on how to begin something like a workers co-op for individuals with chronic health/mental health issues, tied in with access to alternative health providers... I'm delighted to have discovered VV and will be eagerly perusing the info and events!

Best Wishes,

Julia

Hi Ross, thank´s for the invite. All the best and I´m looking forward to be around again...

Thanks for the welcome, Ross. What a great site this is! For so many years I have been growing vegetables in my front yard....you know, where the lawn is supposed to be.....and wishing I could meet like-minded people who could see the value in growing ones own food, living simply, etc. In a big city like this, we need this site to connect to one another.

Hey there Ross. Thanks for the friendship. I look forward to becoming active with Cedar Cottage group in the new year. I also look forward to taking Robin's 14 month long permaculture course.

 

See you around,

 

Roland

Hi Ross:  Earlier is best. After 2 pm and I will be out.  I am in unit #19 if you just want to buzz.  cylia  

Hi Ross:  I will print a copy of the booklet from farm folk website tomorrow. Thanks. cylia

Only took me 6 months to figure out how to register!

Yes - it's on my calendar and I'll post a note too - haha!

Hey Ross, one of these days I'll get out to some of these events. Seeds were planted for involvement a few months back, and spring is on its way.

 

To that end, myself and a diverse collective of good, energetic, science-tech-art-music-media-design-build types are looking for worthwhile projects, especially but not necessarily if our involvement can put food on (someone's) table. Message away, anyone who may read this, we are here to help.

 

Thanks for your hard work on the real world, I look forward to meeting you in person.

 

 

thanks, Ross.   I changed the event description to make the location consistently 1805 Larch at 2nd Avenue.

The confusion arose because the instruction for that location box asked for nearby identifying landmark.  I selected the Naam but omitted to clarify this was a landmark only and that the event was at 1805 Larch.  I appreciate your input.

I'm booked up this week but I'll come out soon.

Thanks Ross !

Hi Ross,

I would love to but is it a kids friendly event? I have a 5 years old and of course no school on Sunday ..

Please let me know

Thanks

Rasha

ross:

 

it was great to meet & talk with you too on monday.

What VV is doing is very inspiring.

Let's get the village back into the city [and in all of us]!!

 

miraj

Hi Ross,

Now apologies for my late thank yous for your great advice:)

We got evicted (2nd time in a year) due to owners reclaiming their house after long absence, so we bit the bullet and bought a house at Penticton and Adanac. So now we will have a chicken space of our own! And a big gardening space in the city half-block buffer space outside our fence. Kids and I are really happy:)

Thanks for all the great community building. We are excited to be able to stay here and we will be more involved once the whirlwind of the move subsides for us.

Jana

Thanks Ross, and if things go as I'd like I'll see you tomorrow at Derek's place. Take care--Roy

 

Many thanks Ross for your welcome!  I look forward to learning more about VV!  Cheers from Toronto.

Greg Greene

Hi Ross,

  It's Jill again, we were going to talk about signing on to the WIld Salmon Circle initiative. You said we could talk when you get back, but that was some time ago.   Do you want to call me, 604 662-7561 after the holidays, or could you give me a number and time when I could reach you?  

THanks, cheers,  Jill  

Happy to have you as a friend. I'm keeping my crossed re chafer beetle project and have (with Randy's help) installed a large L shaped raised bed on my front lawn. Just started putting in some transplants and seeds. Rain last night/this morning probably drowned them! But I sure am getting to know my neighbours!!

Thanks for the welcome , any information on permaculture would be great, I'm also looking for some hands on experience .  Thanks again , --- Jacquie

I thought you were my friend before now!
