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!)
research, gardening

Hey Gilly,

So I made a booboo, and we have to change the location of the potluck / meeting this Wednesday (Jan 25th).  The meeting will still take place at 6:30 pm, but it will be at the Edmonds Community Centre - 7282 Edmonds Street, Burnaby.

This is nice and close to the Edmonds Skytrain station, and easy walk.  We will be in the downstairs room it sounds like, and there will be lots of room for the whole crowd (lets hope we get lots of folks).

I have been waiting to speak with a city planner about community gardens, and some other groups seem interested in what we are doing which is great, I am looking forward to getting some ideas off the ground soon.

If you can please RSVP to the event on village so I can get an idea of who will be there, find the event on the events page!

Thanks and hope to see you on Wednesday, 6:30pm at the Edmonds Community Centre!

Hey Gilly

Matthew again from Village Burnaby.  We are planning our second potluck for Wednesday January 25th, 2012 at the Bonsor Recreation Centre (6550 Bonsor Ave).  We had an amazing first meeting, and would really like to build some momentum around the ideas discussed.

Also, if you want to stay in the loop with whats happening with Village Burnaby, please join our Village Burnaby page. Look forward to seeing you soon!

Hey Gilly,

We are attempting to start a Village group in Burnaby, and are looking for all Burnaby folks to join us in our initial meet & greet.

We have set the meeting for Wednesday December 14th from 7pm - 9pm at the Bonsor Recreation Centre (6550 Bonsor Avenue) in Multipurpose Room 2.

The event will be a potluck, and if you can bring a small bite to share with the group it would be amazing.

I sincerely hope you can attend, and if not, please keep an eye on the Burnaby page as we will try to meet monthly from here on in.

Look forward to speaking with you soon!

Hi Gilly,

Welcome to Village! I noticed you're interested in seeds. Do you know about the (free) seed saving workshop we're offering tomorrow? I'll send you an invite.

Cheers,

Ross
