Transition is based on, and inspired by, Permaculture principles. Permaculture is permanent agriculture and permanent culture.

Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?: Renfrew-Collingwood

Please tell us which areas of Transition interest you.

Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with?

(Don't be bashful!): I hope to follow up from my Ph.D. research where I explored the relationship between our socio-economic environment and youth mental health by working with others in building alternative economic forms aligned with permaculture principles.

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?: Many ideas-initial ideas that come to mind: increasing accessibility of transit (ideally investing to make it free for everyone); placemaking (reclaiming our commons); expansion of urban agriculture; continued expansion of bike lanes; development of a sustainable direct democracy network (e.g. Metro Vancouver Alliance)...
