Did you get the invite to join the new Energy group page/network? Literally trying to get everyone "on the same page" as it were...
Thinking about doing a mini transition village at Car Free Day -- interested in having a solar panel displayed there if we do and it works to do so?

- Welcome to Village Vancouver, Rob! As you may already be aware, we encourage people to get involved on the basis of their interests, and should you choose to do so, there are many ways you can do this - in your local transition village (Main Street Neighbourhood), in a working group (for instance, our Energy group is meeting tonight), in discussions, and so on.
Be well, and again, welcome.
