Hi Sara,

I met you at one of the Mt. Pleasant potlucks as well as at the City Repair event. Me and my wife volunteered there on the Friday night. Just wondering if you work at SOLEfood farms? Would love to get more involved in programs like that in the city. Take care!

Sara,

I'll see you on Friday or Saturday for the Mark Lakeman event, and I'll have a cheque in hand.  

I am so excited to learn everything I can about applying permaculture principles to EVERYTHING!

Hey Sara, was hoping to chat at the show the other night. Love what you've got planned with the urban permaculture program. Cash poor these days but interested in ways to be involved. Glad you've joined here and hope you get into the Transition Strathcona stuff in the works. Exciting indeed.

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
