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'd be interested to get involved with the Permaculture, Placemaking and Leaning Opportunities Networks. I am a long-time professional gardener, SOUL Certified Organic Master Gardener, student herbalist; I'd like to share my knowledge regarding growing, foraging, and general self-sufficiency.
