Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
Dunbar, Kitsilano, West Point Grey
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...
All of the above. I've realised I'm quite a homebody as I haven't connected to a community of likeminded people. And now it seems I've found one :)
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!)
Many different areas: I love the idea of hosting/organizing community potlucks around food, or discussion groups and book clubs, or helping others with career or life planning to share ideas and learn from each other!
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 areas, but I'm hesitant to recommend something as I'm still exploring your site, which is FULL of great initiatives and ideas.
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

Ella, welcome to Village Vancouver, and to the Westside Neighbourhood Food Network! We have some collaborative community gardens in Kits and W. Pt. Grey. If you think you might be interested in participating in one of them, let me know, and we can talk about what's involved.

Cheers,
Ross
