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 attend a United Church in Cedar Cottage area that is interested in becoming more involved in the neighbourhood, community. We grew a vegetabl;e garden there this year and use the vegetables for our community brunch on Tuesday mornings. We also run a thrift store out of our basement twice a month with donations from the neighbourhood and proceeds donated to local schools and organisations
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?
More community gathering and shared meals, community kitchens, Community centred health care by way of social groups where speakers give talks and parish nurses check health and welfare of seniors and provide a meal and social interaction. Lack of these two bring on mental and physical decline.
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.
My involvement would be in the Cedar Cottage area with Grace Memorial United Church where we have a comfortable area that seats 80 people approx. . At this time we have a community breakfast every Tuesday and a Saturday Thrift Storein our lower hall with all proceeds going to local schools and charities and global disasters as they occur.
