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...
the arts, urban homesteading, urban agriculture
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!)
awareness, promotion...we all have circles of influence. we all have a voice.
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?
good ideas take time, i think.

    Welcome, Mitch.  

    We are trying to reach out widely to connect with people of all different ages and experiences, especially those who have lived in other parts of the world or just in very different ways than our high-carbon-footprint Canadian way.

    We are trying to model a better way both of acting and of relating.  We set standards for our lifestyles, and then have fun talking to others about what we are doing and why.

    August is a bit of a slow time for us, but we still have several events every week across the city.  Kits Village--the local neighbourhood sub-group of Village Vancouver--is very active, including recently planting a large common food garden in Kits Point and holding potlucks or outings to restaurants at least every few weeks.  Food-related skills workshops, especially for food gardening and preservation, are very common.  

    So check out our events page often, and join the Kits Village group (by clicking this link and then the Join button ... to learn what people in your neighbourhood are doing.

    We are working on trying to send out a monthly newsletter to remind people what's up, and we hope that's coming in the fall.  Meanwhile, we won't be filling your email inbox with too much mail, and many like it that way.
