In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?

Arbutus Ridge-Kerrisdale-Shaughnessy

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...

Permaculture, bio-dynamic farming, supporting local economies, supporting/providing of self-sustainability of Canadians, solar energy, seed saving, social responsibilities, honoring and respecting all things within our Universe.

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 recently completed a course in Permaculture.

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 locals moving towards growing our own food, collecting all that lovely rain we get in Vancouver. Using the stored rain to water gardens, wash vehicles, etc. rather than using potable water. All new construction requiring implementation of grey water recycling systems, low flush toilets, shower heads. Public education on humanure systems.

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.
