Joining Village Vancouver + Spaghetti Dinners + Block Parties

Hi, I'm eager to get engaged with Village Vancouver events. I know several of the steering committee members and live in Kits in a Housing Coop.
We have a common room and could host a Kits spaghetti dinner.
I'm organizing a block party for Carfree Days in Kits - on Sunday, June 20. You're all invited.

Food

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.
