Profile Information
- In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
- West End
- If you don't live in Vancouver or are in another neighbourhood or community we did not list, please tell us where home is.
- For most of the year I live in other areas of B.C. working on organic farms.
- 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, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...
- All of the above! I have a special interest in locally-based and sustainable food systems, and empowerment through food growing.
- 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 volunteer my time as the 'motivator' and co-facilitator for Vancouver neighbourhood-based Seed Saving collectives.
- 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.
