Profile Information:
- In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
- Kitsilano
- 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...
- Potlucks, encouragement to bike more; gardening; composting, arts and celebrations - more parties and parades, please!
- 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 support and encourage community connections, especially "hyper-local" - within a few blocks of trafifth (5th & Trafalgar).
- 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 like the City's focus on greenest city and also the neighbourhood focus. It's great that the Vancouver Foundation have extended their neighbourhood small grants to the westside - it supports people like me - and probably you - to do some community building without trying to scrape $$ together or ask for contributions.
- 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.
- Yes
- 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.

Hi Mary, thanks for asking. Will you be going to any of the potlucks? I would like to hear how your time off work is pleasing you and what kind of art you are currently involved with. I would also like to ask if you wish to purchase a Hope In Shadows calendar from me again this year. It would be best if we met at an event that we are both attending, but I can deliver!
