In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?

Kitsilano

If you don't live in Vancouver or are in another neighbourhood or community we did not list, please tell us where home is.

I divide time between Trans Indus Ecovillage in Bangalore and Vancouver

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...

Permaculture, Ecovillage Movement, Organising Events , Arts, supporting and creating projects, community building , having fun, outreach and urban food gardens, seed saving , wellness , inner ecology

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!)
