Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
Mount Pleasant, Surrey
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...
I am interested in each and every aspect of transition activities and thinking.
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!)
I have a small background in permaculture, youth education, gardening, green building and community workshop facilitation.
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?
Oh my goodness, so many ideas!!! For the time being, I would like to watch and listen and see what projects are already underway.
I agree to read and abide by the Site Guidelines under the About tab on the navigation bar, remaining respectful in all communications on this web site.
Yes

Hi Andrew, I am trying to organize a VillageSurrey where we can be more active pursuing our interests in establishing a sustainable society, economy, and environment and hopefully try to share our lives and resources to make it happen. Please contact me (preferably by phone) to let me know about your availability for an organizing meeting to take place within the next 7-10 days.
Cheers,
Behrouz
