Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.

Vanessa,
Welcome to Kensington-Cedar Cottage. That is at least how the City describes your new neighbourhood. We have a budding "chapter" of Village Vancouver in your area called Transition Cedar Cottage, which has a group page on this site here. There are currently 45 "Villagers" in this group, and ad hoc potlucks have been known to happen. There are no regularly-scheduled get-togethers yet.
Cedar Cottage was the first village to start a seed sharing collective and library, which Cylia Wong is spearheading. A new Vancouver Underground Market is also getting its start in Cedar Cottage, organized in part by Hella (aka Renee), and read more about this on this site here or on its own web site here.
Please join the Cedar Cottage group--by clicking on the "Join" button on the top of this page--in order to stay in touch with what is happening in your new neighbourhood. Also feel free to join in any activity you see on this site.
Randy
