In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?

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'm all about building a resilient lifestyle. Elimination of our "wage slave" lives by living closer to nature and finding efficient ways of growing our own food is paramount I think. Earthships mixed with a healthy dose of technology and a pinch of ecology could make it all happen I think.

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 have a wide range of skills and experience. At the moment I work as a CNC machinist. I have years of fabricating, machining, welding, electronics, computer experience. I am deeply committed to making a difference.

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?

Many ideas. Too many to list here. But housing is a big problem that only gets worse as the years go by. Communal housing is probably the only way to deal with this in a large city.

I agree to read and abide by the Site Guidelines under the About tab on the navigation bar, remaining respectful in all communications on this web site.

Don't feel like answering all the questions now? No worries, just tell us briefly why you're interested in joining at this time, and you can come back and update your profile later.

I'm in the process of promoting another local group called OSRL (Open Source Resilient Living). I'm interested in meeting like minded people for networking purposes. It's time to make some changes and we need to work together to get it all done.
