Liberty Village, Toronto

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'm interested in all areas that relate to urban resilience. Since making The END of SUBURBIA and ESCAPE From SUBURBIA I have come to see the Transition movement is a crucial part of building urban resilience to peak oil and climate change. City planning isn't nearly enough. Citizens movements like Transition have the power to change communities from the bottom-up. Our final documentary in the END of SUBURBIA trilogy is an online, collaborative media project called ResilientCITY. I hope to document the great work Transitioners are doing in Vancouver, and across Canada.

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? And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)

I will be visiting Vancouver and hope to get to know each Transition group and learn of their activities, and vision for a resilient Vancouver.

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 am hoping to learn enough to answer that question when I return to Van!
