Welcome to Village Vancouver. We long ago expected that Gibsons would develop a Transition movement, as has Powell River. IMHO, Gibsons is far ahead of most BC municipalities.
I just wondered if you wanted to put an "s" at the end of "Gibson" in your member name. It is all the same to me, but I just wondered if it were an oversight.
We in "Village Vancouver" are totally with you in wondering if "city models" work at all! Cities are invariably too large to organize, let alone even begin to establish a sense of "community." Walkable and actually walked neighbourhoods are really the largest Transition "size."
I think we have to ignore our artificial urban versus rural "perspective" on living, and focus on the useful assets around us, whether large plots of grass (plenty in the city and reasonably easily turned into farmland), junk yards (everywhere), small business (everywhere), and bicycles and pushcarts (everywhere).
So, we'd dearly like to help get a Transition Town going in Gibsons, and until a critical mass arises, please learn from us, teach us, and enjoy our changing times in the best ways you can. Feel free to visit with us, crash VV events, and just be a good neighbour.
