Hi Jessica,

You might also try contacting Leslie Kemp, who is a VV steering committee member and directs the Community Development program at Langara. VV's Learning Opportunities Group has discussed  helping it get going (for instance, Community Gardening Network members joining in a big "barn raising" work party to help move it along), but nothing definite yet.

 

Cheers,

Ross

VV convenor

I believe possibly this spring.The woman at Langara who is organizing it is Leni Gelten, either a staff person or teacher there.

Discussion Forum

Food

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.

65 discussions

Transportation

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.

5 discussions

Housing

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.
