Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
Mount Pleasant
If you don't live in Vancouver or are in another neighbourhood or community we did not list, please tell us where home is.
also New Westminster
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...
Clean energy. Clean air and water. Healthy soil. Re-localizing our economy. Energy efficient buildings. Corporate responsibility. Bees and agriculture. Respecting and working with natural systems.
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!)
Beekeeping
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?
Emissions. The waste in the Burrard inlet. Electric cars. The promotion of other clean energy sources (solar, wind, other) and legislation to allow freedom from the grid, and for people to sell surplus energy.
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

A belated welcome to Village Vancouver and the Main Street Neighbourhood village that includes Mount Pleasant.

The Main Street Neighbourhood village is holding our monthly potluck dinner and presentation tonight (Tuesday, 7 June) at Little Mountain Neighbourhood House on Main Street at 24th Ave (adjacent to the library).  Dinner and a free seed and food plant seedling giveaway start at 6:00 and then an urban gardening presentation and discussion begins at 7 for about an hour.  Come and stay as long as you want, or just drop by at any time.

See the full event description here.
