Welcome to Village Vancouver and to West End Transition Village! We're very involved in getting the new WE Nerighbourhood Food Network going, and we've also scheduled some WE VIllage activities (gardening and other workshops, and a Meetup) in the Fall, tho I'm thinking maybe it would also be nice to have a summer gathering before that.
If you have any ideas, please let me know.
Cheers,
Ross
