Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
Stephen Bohus's Page
Profile Information
- In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
- Mount Pleasant
- 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, placemaking, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...
- livability, planning, sustainable architecture and built form, transit, peak oil
- 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!)
- urban design / computer modelling / technical analysis
- 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?
- Vancouver needs to accelerate the changeover from a fossil fuels to an alternate / renewable electrical based economy. Many current priorities assume that the lifestyle we inherited from the 1950s and 1960s can go on indefinitely. I am a firm believer that the sooner we start the transition, the better off we will be in the long run.
- 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.
- Yes

While I'm not personally suggesting that City Hall follows Vinius' lead, there are plenty of issues with illegally parked cars in Vancouver.
