Profile Information

If you don't live in Vancouver or are in another neighbourhood or community we did not list, please tell us where home is.: Kerrisdale

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...: seed diversity, economy

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 would love to volunteer! I have a car, so anywhere within a 10km radius of kerrisdale. I'm not sure what kind of skills you are looking for, but my experience is in reforestation (tree planting), customer service, and landscape maintenance. I have worked on an organic farm. If you do workshops, I could do one on double digging a garden and lasagna gardening.

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?: I would like to work with people in poverty. I would ask them what they would like the city to provide to them, and work to get those things. My idea is more water fountains in public spaces. More soup kitchens. Community gardens. That kind of thing.

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 would like to start collecting seeds to protect seed diversity and to grow some heirloom varieties.

Welcome to Village Vancouver! If you're interested in seed saving and would like to help out -- we're folding seed packets for our seed libraries this coming Sunday from 3-6 (location near Kits Beach) and looking for a few more volunteers.

Cheers,
Ross
