Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

Gastown-DTES folks interesting in collaboration?

Anyone looking to share resources, support and solidarity in this area?
 I am!

Possible organizing points -
conversation group, bulk buying, co-caring: children, pets, relationships, crafting,tool and material swap, jamming, eco-networking, supporting fresh visions.

Let's share

make contact. Amy

Hi Amy,

Cool post. If I lived there, I'd definitely want to connect around a bunch of this. It look like we have about 15 VVers in the DTES. Would you like me to send this to them?

Cheers,
Ross
VV convenor

P.S. One way we could do this is to set up a DTES (and Gastown?) page under villages, and then invite other DTESers to join. If this is of interest, let me know.

Hi Ross

Your convening skills are appreciated.
A village is in order.
The name is something to consider; perhaps contacting folks in this area first of all to coordinate on naming, before we initiate a village page.

Let me know who you are able to network to. Cheers, Amy
