I will! Looking forward to meeting you too.
Jenny Ma said… Hi Ann,
Thanks for the welcome and info on the Dunbar Village group. We moved from Ladner and are so pleased with Dunbar/Southlands community and all the trails, horses, birds, bees, and chicken! Our first recon of the neighbourhood involved canoeing down the Fraser from our backyard to Richmond - we loved it.
Looking very forward to meeting you and others in community.

Thanks for the welcome. I joined the Dunbar Village group. Attened the lecture tonight at Robson Square on Climate Change, very engaging. Not sure if the live streaming is available to watch again but worth a look if it is. I've plans already for Thursday, so will miss the film showing. Look forward to join in for other events. Robin

Thanks for the welcome! I'm going to try to make it for the screening, albeit a bit late as my classes at school end at 6:50pm. Hope to see you there!
Cheers,

Hi Ann,
Can't make it to movie tomorrow- such a shame as I've really wanted to see Greenhorns! Now that the growing season has ended I'm much more open to helping plan events etc. Looking forward to working with ya in Dunbar.

Matea Kulic said… Hi Ann,
Thank you for your message-I've joined the Dunbar group and would love to hear about the working groups that you have going and the kind of organizational activities you had in mind.
Right now things are just getting started at the B&B and I am trying to transform this turf grass into something productive. Thats a big reason my friend Jeff is coming to help me out-I'm very new in the gardening scene but have lots of spirit :) Jeff on the other hand has lots of experience and wanted to maybe even get some workshops organized about wormi composting, planting mushroom logs etc. But I thought it would be good to see what you already have going on, which sounds like a lot!
So let me know in what capacity you think I could help and I will def check out that property you mentioned.
Talk to you soon,
Matea

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.
