Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?: Mount Pleasant

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...: urban food strategy, food security, urban gardening, locaiizing economy, arts, canning and preserving, heritage and history, architecture, sustainability

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!): Mount Pleasant is my hood: urban agriculture, food preservation, history and heritage: I am a journalist/writer with experience in Communications. I have done work for the government in Agriculture and Food (didn't like their spin on things). I have written and designed collateral materials (brochures, newsletters), written speeches, done event planning, but currently I am a freelance writer and photojournalist

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'm putting my thinking cap on and will get back to you
