Plus my interests involve: Green living interior design, food forests, collective/co-op living and business models, seed saving, growing food, Compost........ Permaculture
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!)

Welcome, Naomi.

We were just discussing the Salt Spring Island dollar at our Community Currency planning meeting today.   You have made a good start on the island to built some resilience, and we both have a long way to go.

Let us know how we can help you, inspire you, and also learn from you.  Feel free to visit us as well.  

We need to all work together in Transition so that no one is left behind.

Randy
