Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
Dunbar
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...
community building
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!)
community building
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?
Yes

Hi Laurel
The Dunbar Transition Village is holding our first Dunbar movie Monday night (tomorrow) at the St. Philips Church Fireside on 27th and Highbury, from 7 to 9. The film is The Turning Point - which takes an inspiring look at our potential to create a life-sustaining society as we face the twin challenges of Peak Oil and Climate Change.
We'll have time for socializing and discussion after the movie so I hope you can make it. Donation suggested.
Your support would be greatly appreciated. We want to show the church and the Dunbar community that Transition has great grassroots support.
Thanks Ann

Hi Laurel
Welcome to Village Vancouver. We've just had our first Dunbar Village meetup. Quite a few attended and we'are planning on hosting another, possibly in 2 weeks time to advance more on sharing assets and defining some common interests and goals.
Why don't you join the Dunbar group and we'll keep you posted on upcoming events in our neighbourhood?
What kinds of things are you interested in?
Look forward to meeting.

Kind regards.
Ann Pacey
