Our 2014 Transition Society AGM is just around the corner, and we invite you to join us for a great potluck and meeting!
Potluck at 6 pm. AGM at 6:30pm. We'll be presenting our Annual Report and discussing where we've been, where we're at, and where we're going, and holding a Board of Directors election.

As always, there's lot's happening in Village - over 300 activities, projects and other undertakings a year, including, in the next couple weeks:
Gardening, Seed Saving, and Emergency Preparedness workshops
Neighbourhood Village & Neighbourhood Food Network potlucks (West End)
a Permaculture in Planters and Pots project activity (Nov 29)

Dinner groups
Conversation in the Village with 16 students from the Emily Carr ecoTANK (Thinking about Nature's Knowledge) industrial design studio (Dec.1st; they've just designed and built 6 new seed libraries for us, and also engaged in a food security design project:with us to promote food preservation via ancient fermentation techniques) and
Our 6th Slow Food, Slow Everything Day (on Dec 6th)
We have all sorts of great activities and projects lined up in 2015, with more to come -- it's already shaping up to be our best year ever!

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.
