Hey Susan,
As you may or may not know, we are having our second Village Burnaby Potluck on Wednesday January 25th, from 6:30pm - 8:30pm
I made a booboo, and we have to change the location of the potluck / meeting this Wednesday (Jan 25th). The meeting will still take place at 6:30 pm, but it will be at the Edmonds Community Centre - 7282 Edmonds Street, Burnaby.
This is nice and close to the Edmonds Skytrain station, and easy walk. We will be in the downstairs room it sounds like, and there will be lots of room for the whole crowd (lets hope we get lots of folks).
I have been waiting to speak with a city planner about community gardens, and some other groups seem interested in what we are doing which is great, I am looking forward to getting some ideas off the ground soon.
If you can please RSVP to the event on village so I can get an idea of who will be there, find the event on the events page!
Thanks and hope to see you on Wednesday, 6:30pm at the Edmonds Community Centre!
Hey Susan,
We are attempting to start a Village group in Burnaby, and are looking for all Burnaby folks to join us in our initial meet & greet.
We have set the meeting for Wednesday December 14th from 7pm - 9pm at the Bonsor Recreation Centre (6550 Bonsor Avenue) in Multipurpose Room 2.
The event will be a potluck, and if you can bring a small bite to share with the group it would be amazing.
I sincerely hope you can attend, and if not, please keep an eye on the Burnaby page as we will try to meet monthly from here on in.
Look forward to speaking with you soon!
As you can see, we are just beginning to build an on-line community for Village Vancouver, and organize our extensive activities more openly and collaboratively through this site. Please feel free to contribute to a discussion, attend or even enter a new event, join a working group, or even form a Village.
We are just starting to gather interest from nearby cities, and VV member Matthew Klippenstein is also in Burnaby. Until there a critical mass where you are, it will be hard work to organize a local village. Meanwhile, come to any event posted on our Events page, connect with other Village Vancouver members, and see what you can learn and do.
Also, please update your home page ("My Page" above) with some brief comments about your interests or a short bio. This will help us all connect with people with similar interests in sustainability, transition, or other activities. Maybe find a nice photo to upload, too. :-)
