Silvi replied to Randy Chatterjee's discussion Transit and Translink: How should public transit be funded? in the group VV Transportation Group
"Here's how I augment the cost of my transit use these days:

Silvi replied to Ross Moster's discussion Straw deliveries to your neighbourhood? in the group VV Neighbourhood Food Network

At Langara, I think you have to be a credit course and it looks like that would be about $300, so... I'm not sure this is a way I'd want to get a U-pass. Unless I've misunderstood, I could get a transit pass for about the same cost or less, wouldn't i?

- HI again Silvi! welcome also to the beekeeping group. We held a get-together in May for beekeepers and it was great to share our experiences and exchange ideas and advice I'm hoping we can organize another gathering in August or Sept) . Also I'm planning to hold a get- together in July with people who are thinking of becoming beekeepers as well. I hope to see you at future beekeeping gatherings!
Anna
