Profile Information
- In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
- Downtown East Side
- 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...
- relocalizing our economy/local currency, having fun while saving the world, sustainable/not mass produced clothing
- 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!)
- community currency
not mass produced textile and other items - i do surface design on clothing; use upcycled materials to repurpose clothing, give workshops in making useful things from reclaimed textiles
- 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?
- urban farms
would like very much to involve people in an awareness of the fashion and related industries and the part they play in waste of resources. this would take the form of workshops demonstrating and participants then make a number of items using reclaimed/recycled materials
- I agree to read and abide by the Site Guidelines under the About tab on the navigation bar, remaining respectful in all communications on this web site.
- Yes
- Don't feel like answering all the questions now? No worries, just tell us briefly why you're interested in joining at this time, and you can come back and update your profile later.
- because it is the end of the year, for some reason i cannot access my 'old' village vancouver page, and so here is i
