I see from your profile that you are interested in local currency. This has been my primary focus over the past several months in Village Vancouver, and earlier this year I and some other Local Economy people launched the Dunbar Dollar Project to start a community currency in Dunbar as a pilot project. I have also been doing some thinking and researching lately into the possibilities of fostering a strong and profitable local food economy with the help of a food-centred currency (I call it Seed Money), and as of today I'll be collaborating with another Open Money enthusiast to establish a sort of Time Bank over at Occupy Vancouver basecamp. If any of this sounds like something you'd like to get involved in, let me know: jordan@villagevancouver.ca.
Cheers,
Jordan
