Hi, I'd like to come from whistler to take part in this event. I don't have a credit card so I was unable to pre register and I was told only 1 person is registered at this time, so the event may be cancelled. Just wanted to let you know I will be coming if it goes ahead :)

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
