Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
Hey all!
Interested in helping plan future Kits Village activities and direction?
Good things are cooking in our village -- figuratively, as well as literally! Currently, activities include monthly potlucks/garden parties, movie nights, and dropin spaghetti nights.
Last year we gardened collaboratively at Kits House and this year we're looking to start a new garden at Billy Bishop Legion Hall -- and perhaps in other locations as well.
We just had our 1st Soup Freeze 'n Share earlier this week, with more in the works. And next up, of course, is our village Visioning session.
A Permaculture "blitz" day (transforming a property using Permaculture design methods) is being planned for late March or early April, as well as more gardening workshops, and word has it that there's going to be a village garage sale in early summer.
There's also talk of starting a seed saving collective, and other ideas floating around include a bee keeping group and straw deliveries to the neighbourhood for gardeners and chicken keepers. And, of course, many of us are involved in the 20 or so block parties that take place in Kits every Car Free Day (June 19th).
If you're interested in joining with other villagers in planning new activities, and in planning our village's direction, please reply here or contact me. (Or come to the visioning session on Sunday, where we'll be discussing a lot of this.)
P.S. Several members are currently hosting or have hosted gatherings, and we're always looking for new places to get together. If you'd like to host something (a potluck, a spaghetti night, or ?) or know of free spaces that might be available, we'd love to hear from you!
