Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
Hastings-Sunrise
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...
Emergency Preparedness, Permaculture, Resiliency Workshops
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 am a trainer by profession, so my strengths like in organizing and delivering presentations, workshops and training.
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?
Still learning about Vancouver since I just moved here July 2013. Most of my focus when I was on the steering committee of Transition Toronto was on emergency preparedness and alternative currencies, but interested in all aspects of community resiliency.
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
Don't feel like answering all the questions now? No worries, just tell us briefly why you're interested in joining at this time, and you can come back and update your profile later.
I recently met with Ross Moster and enjoying connecting with the Village Vancouver board. I have just moved to Vancouver and look forward to contributing and helping the Vancouver neighbourhood communities become more resilient. :-)
