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...: Urban agriculture, permaculture, relocalizing economy, reskilling of younger generations, energy efficiency, arts, community building, healthy local living

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!): Yes

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?: More vegetable gardens downtown and celebration of local foods, arts and traditional culture. People more aware of energy consumption and their impact on the planet, health and environmental/financial implicaitons of eating local fruits and vegetables. Greater sense of community pride and connection through events. Rise in local trade and expertise. Better use of water - both harvesting and consumption.

I agree to read and abide by the Site Guidelines under the About tab on the navigation bar, remaining respectful in all communications on this web site.: Yes

Welcome to Village Vancouver and to West End Transition Village! We're very involved in getting the new WE Nerighbourhood Food Network going, and we've also scheduled some WE VIllage activities (gardening and other workshops, and a Meetup) in the Fall, tho I'm thinking maybe it would also be nice to have a summer gathering before that.

If you have any ideas, please let me know.

Cheers,

Ross
