Permaculture Village
Transition is based on, and inspired by, Permaculture principles. Permaculture is permanent agriculture and permanent culture. We will be approaching 'creating sustainable habitat' in many different ways: regular design & demonstration projects; Social permaculture; workshops. Permablitzes, Blitzes or Permaculture Energy Transfer or Pet Day are days that we go on site collectively create systems which cycle energy toward win win win economy. Food forests provide abundant gardens and parks…See More
Joy Jolie commented on Delvin Solkinson's event Free Intro to Permaculture Adventure Day
"Delvin, this was a wonderful experience which opened my eyes and expanded my knowledge of permaculture in ways I didn't expect. Being out in the Elphinstone Forest had a huge impact and was the highlight of the day. I intend to do that a lot…"

- Emergency Preparedness, Permaculture, Resiliency Workshops
- 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 trainer by profession, so my strengths like in organizing and delivering presentations, workshops and training.
- 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?
- Still learning about Vancouver since I just moved here July 2013. Most of my focus when I was on the steering committee of Transition Toronto was on emergency preparedness and alternative currencies, but interested in all aspects of community resiliency.
- 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
- Don't feel like answering all the questions now? No worries, just tell us briefly why you're interested in joining at this time, and you can come back and update your profile later.
- I recently met with Ross Moster and enjoying connecting with the Village Vancouver board. I have just moved to Vancouver and look forward to contributing and helping the Vancouver neighbourhood communities become more resilient. :-)
