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!)
Initially I would like to feel comfortable then I may consider assisting
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?
More food plants in front yards.

Hi, Kathi, I often think about you -and walk by your home, but haven't seen you recently. just back from a potluck/food security discussion at Kits House, and thought I'd drop you a note.  - It doesn't feel like soup weather right now, but come September, let's connect again - I'm off camping for a week or so. I've lost your email address so send me a note to maryinvancouver@gmail.com if you'd like to get together some time.
