Hey Sarah,
I found this invite to become your friend just now, over a year after it was posted, but I thought I would respond anyway. Permies are my kind of people!I just got back yesterday from Roberts Creek and a day with Delvin and 17 other permies from all over, We started a Facebook page to keep in touch, it's called The Permaculture Hub and it is an open group, so please join up, if you like.
I also received my Vancouver 'Urban Permaculture Design' certificate from Langara College this summer (organized by Sara Dent and Rin Innes).
Maybe we'll meet at a 'Young Agrarians' or another event sometime!
All the best!
