Permaculture Village

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.

Can Eco-Density Reduce Our Ecological Footprint? at Britannia Community Services Centre - 1661 Napier Street
February 18, 2014 from 7pm to 8pm
One of the central pillars of planning for ecological sustainability in a metropolitan environment has become increased urban density. In Vancouver, the potential ecological benefits of higher density has become a key justification for many new condo developments. However, the unintended consequences of increased density have the potential to dramatically scale up an urban region's ecological footprint.Please join us for a panel discussion on this interesting and nuanced debate. Are Downtown…See More

Jordan B said… Hi Justin,
I am from the Local Economy Network, and I am contacting you because on Feb. 13th I am planning a workshop on community currencies together with LETS and Community Way founder Michael Linton. I was just speaking to Ann Pacey who suggested getting in touch with you about possibly booking a locale in which to hold this presentation at UBC. Please let me know if you think this is possible. We were thinking of holding the workshop between about 1pm-4pm on Sunday, Feb. 13th, and we should aim for 30-50 participants.
Please feel free to give me a call at 778-866-4451 to discuss. Thanks!

We're holding our first Dunbar movie night tomorrow at the St. Philips Church Fireside on 27th and Highbury, from 7 to 9. The film is The Turning Point - which takes an inspiring look at our potential to create a life-sustaining society as we face the twin challenges of Peak Oil and Climate Change.
We'll have time for socializing and discussion after the movie so I hope you can make it. Donation suggested.
Your support would be greatly appreciated. We want to show the church and the Dunbar community that Transition has great grassroots support.
Thanks Ann

I'm in the FNH program at UBC and I'm doing a research project on Village Vancouver I was wondering if it would be possible to either sit down with you or email you some questions I have specifically about the new UBC initiative.
Thanks!
