Sorry I could not make it, for those of you who couldn't either, there is a great article about the "Sharing Economy" in the Tyee. For those of you who are interested in the new economy, which is more resilient, less wasteful and better socially connected, leading to more hopeful and more equitable future scenarios, get a preview here: http://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2014/02/17/Sharing-Economy-Hope/.
Thank you for your comment!
I'm looking forward to joining the meeting.
HI Michiko,
Everyone is most welcome!
Cheers,

Hi. I'm strongly interested in the session, but I wonder if it is open for everyone? I mean, I'm new to Village Vancouver so I'm not sure if it is okay for me to join it.
Village engages individuals, neighbourhoods & organizations to take actions that build sustainable communities & have fun doing it. Join us!
