Profile Information:

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?: Burnaby
If you don't live in Vancouver or are in another neighbourhood or community we did not list, please tell us where home is.: Burnaby
Please tell us which areas of Transition interest you. For example: growing more food/urban agriculture, relocalizing our economy/local currency, Permaculture, transit, energy efficient buildings, the arts, urban homesteading, preserving seed diversity, placemaking, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...: I am very interested in both urban agriculture and localizing the economy.
There's a saying that "Transition is not a spectator sport". It's true! Village Vancouver runs on people power, and engaging in activities and projects together helps us accomplish more. Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with?

What would you like to see improved in Vancouver or in your community regarding sustainability or resiliency? Do you have an idea for a new Transition project or activity?: I think that a local currency would be a great start. Helping local business thrive, keeping our money in our community. Very important

Matthew, ignore my comment (is there anything going on this month?). I see there is on the 14th but sadly won't be able to make it. If you can send me info on what initiatives are being considered, what needs to be done, etc, that'd be super. Any other discussions this month, try my best to make it. Regards, Mehjabeen

Hey Mathew.

Sadly I am recovering from ankle surgery at the moment. So will not be able to make this get together. However, I have been busy doing a lot of computer work to promote some of our common goals. As an example, I just finished designing and documenting an Open Source CEB (compressed earth brick) press. I should be able to start building a real prototype soon depending on funds. I am very committed to transitioning in all it's forms.

I would enjoy meeting locals who see what I see coming. I will try to make the next meeting for sure.

Thanks,

Damien

Hi Mathew,

I have since moved out of Burnaby and am now apart of the Main Street group. I guess I forgot to change the address on profile. Thanks for letting me know about the new group in Burnaby, as my family still lives there and are interested in connecting with other folks about gardening etc.

Take Care,

Caitie
