Riley Park-South Cambie, Bowen Island

Please tell us which areas of Transition interest you. For example: growing more food/urban agriculture, relocalizing our economy/local currency, Permaculture, transit, energy efficient buildings, the arts, urban homesteading, preserving seed diversity, placemaking, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...

Relocalizing economy/local currency. Food systems. Homes for all. Arts for all.

There's a saying that "Transition is not a spectator sport". It's true! Village Vancouver runs on people power, and engaging in activities and projects together helps us accomplish more. Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with? And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)

See above. I'm currently a Vancity Credit Union and CCPA director and on the CCEDNET Policy Council. I'm the former mayor of Bowen Island and director at MetroVan.
I make really good latkes.

What would you like to see improved in Vancouver or in your community regarding sustainability or resiliency? Do you have an idea for a new Transition project or activity?

I'd love to see a Transition Town directory of services and businesses that subscribe to the ethics and aims of TT. We need to connect to each other and relocalize the economy in a circulatory way.
