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 am a Community Engaged Artist and Arts Based Community Development Facilitator and Coordinator in training. I have worked in the Comox Valley with grassroots organizations on food security and community development projects. For the past three years I've been working with the Campbell River Community Arts Council and I am interested in creating community initiatives using visual communication, arts based methodologies, graphic facilitation and co-intelligence. I am researching ways that collaborate and socially engaged art practices can assist in the shifting of cultural value systems. I have grant writing abilities and leadership skills. I am also a MAA student at Emily Carr University, currently an intern with chART:Public Art Marpole research initiative. I am very interested in food security, the spiritual connection with plants and particularly the lived experience and knowledge of people.

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
