“Food Growing, Security and Sustainability: A Neighbourhood Food Network in the West End?”
Potluck and discussion
May 12 (Thursday)

6 pm: Potluck dinner
7 to 9 pm: Discussion
Cost: Free.
Registration: Not required, but we welcome an e-mail to FoodWestEnd@gmail.com so we can prepare.
Anyone is welcome.
 
This event follows a successful meeting on April 9, entitled “Building a Neighbourhood Food Network in the West End.” The notes and presentation materials of that meeting will be available by this weekend on the websites of Village Vancouver and Green Millennium Foundation (see below). The discussion in April showed that many people are interested in these topics, are already active, and have considerable knowledge, resources and enthusiasm. On May 12 we will discuss some of the ideas that arose, future actions, and look for people and groups willing to get involved in building momentum. 
 
Organized by:
Village Vancouver (http://www.villagevancouver.ca/group/westendtransitionvillage)

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.

59 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.
