"I have RSVP'd and am looking forward to the discussion. My partner hopes to come too, but due to his work schedule he can't guarantee that he'll be at Trees by 7 PM."

Profile Information

Maple Ridge, Other (indicate below)

formerly a long-time Vancouver resident
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, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...
sustainable and cooperative neighbourhoods; local agriculture; community building; all things food (growing and cooking and sharing)
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'm currently involved with the Golden Ears Transition Initiative (https://goldenearstransitioninitiative.ning.com/) , and am active with the Hammond Neighbours and Skill Sharing action groups.
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?
My community is a standard atomized suburb with poor transit, un-walkable neighbourhoods and neighbours who are strangers. I want to work towards a more cohesive and cooperative community that is engaged with each other and with local issues and events.
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.

Forum

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

59 discussions

Transportation

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.

5 discussions

Housing

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.
