In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?

Port Moody

Please tell us which areas of Transition interest you. For example: growing more food/urban agriculture, relocalizing our economy/local currency, Permaculture, transit, energy efficient buildings, the arts, urban homesteading, preserving seed diversity, placemaking, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...

growing more food in our area, the arts, potlucks, community building, being a part of the idea of "be the change you wish to see in the world." Gandhi.

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 would be interested in helping the gardener at my building to educate people with the idea of composting for our building. Also to encourage people to grow veggies on their balconies, if possible. I would be interested in helping out with the occasional farmers' market as well. I'm an artist and wouldn't mind contributing a piece for silent auction to help build a greener community.

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?

Not at the moment. But the idea of a silent art auction to raise funds for increasingly greening our community would appeal

My daughter put me onto the idea of transition towns, as well as a good friend. I want to be part of the solution and part of the far-sighted community that's going to launch us into a better more sustainable future.
