Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?: West End

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...: permaculture, community building, the arts, urban homesteading, alternative energies, urban agriculture, local currency

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!): Permaculture blitzes, event coordinating/planning, teaching kids about gardening, using pedal power for speakers, generators, local currency.. I've studied some permaculture and intentional communities in Costa Rica, the Kootenays, Alberta, California, Golden..

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'd like to have a pedal and alternative powered busker stage at English Bay, where people come and enjoy music and get to generate power as well.
