<p>Please join us in Cedar Cottage for a casual meet and greet and tea from 1-3PM on Sunday, February 22.</p>
<p>We'll meet our neighbours and discuss what we might envision for the Cedar Cottage village. (Neighbouring villages are also welcome). Community grant deadlines are fast approaching and if there is enough interest we can probably get some funding for some exciting projects. We will also discuss what days and times work best for a regular (likely monthly) potluck / workshop type…</p>

Community grant deadlines are fast approaching and if there is enough interest we can probably get some funding for some exciting projects. We will also discuss what days and times work best for a regular (likely monthly) potluck / workshop type gathering. (<a href="http://http://www.villagevancouver.ca/group/grandviewwoodland" target="_blank">Commercial Drive</a> and <a href="http://www.villagevancouver.ca/group/mainstreetneighbourhood" target="_blank">Main Street</a> currently have similar events; check their VV pages for details of what this might look like).</p>
<p>The meet and greet will be hosted by Villager Alyssa K. Alyssa has chickens and a chicken coop tour will be provided. Coffee and a variety of tea will be available. If you can, please bring cookies/muffins, crackers/cheese, fruit/veggies or something else light to share. This event will be rain or shine; if nice weather it may be held outdoors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.villagevancouver.ca/events/cedar-cottage-meet-greet-tea" target="_blank">Please RSVP for the address</a> (near Knight and Kingsway and within a few blocks of many transit routes), and contact Alyssa (alyssa@villagevancouver.ca) or Ross (ross@villagevancouver.ca) if you can't attend but are still interested in being involved in the Cedar Cottage village. Please note (for those with allergies) that the household also includes dogs and cats. Children are welcome but the house is not child-proof.</p>
<p>Here are some ideas for workshops / activities / projects that we could do:<br/> chickens 101<br/> seed starting<br/> composting<br/> sprouting<br/> fermenting (vegetables/sauerkraut/kimchee, kefir, kombucha, ginger beer)<br/> craft night<br/> sewing circle<br/> clothing repair<br/> knitting<br/> bike maintanance</p>
<p>We look forward to seeing you there!</p> Animating Transition Cedar Cottage in 2015tag:www.villagevancouver.ca,2014-12-21:4670368:Topic:1159032014-12-21T20:29:19.132ZVillage Vancouverhttp://www.villagevancouver.ca/profile/VillageVancouver
<p>TCC has been pretty quiet recently! But this hasn't always been the case - there used to be all sorts of workshops, potlucks, other gatherings, etc. and it would be great to get stuff going again. If you're interested in helping animate it, hosting a potluck and/or workshop, or plugging in in some other way in 2015, please contact TCC@villagevancouver.ca.</p>
<p>Happy Holidays!</p>

<p>Anyone interested in joining the EYA and a core group of community organizers to develop this space into a sustainable and productive food resource and land rehabilitation site for years to come??</p>
<p>If so - please try to make it to our open house this Wednesday evening (on-site) (see below for more details). Or if you can't make it, get in touch with me so I can make sure to update you on future planning activities coming up in the fall.</p>
<p>Thanks!<br></br>Jodi…</p>

<p>Introducing Copley Commons!<br/><br/> The Environmental Youth Alliance has partnered with the City of Vancouver to work with community members in creating a new urban agriculture site on the former grounds of Richard Copley's historical orchard. In keeping with the site's history, the focus of the project will be perennial fruit culture and celebration.<br/> <br/>The site has been vacant for over 30 years, and is the grassy field that lies between Walker St. and Copley St, just north of Vaness Avenue and the Skytrain.<br/><br/>The development of this site will be a blend of community tended plots, social gathering space, a productive berry patch and orchard, and many other possibilities that have not yet been detailed.<br/> <br/>OPEN HOUSE:<br/>We are holding an open house to gather input and ideas from community members and begin planning for fall planting activities. Whether you want to be involved in further planning and activities, or are simply curious about the site, please join us. Refreshments will be provided.<br/> <br/>Please contact me if you have any questions, concerns or comments. And check out our webpage for more information and a map of the site:</p>
