Community Meals

Community Potlucks – A monthly potluck hosted by VV and West End Neighbourhood Food Network. A family friendly gathering where you share some good food and conversation with community members. At the gathering, pick up a copy of the West End Urban Garden Calendar, pick some seeds up at the seed library, and join a mini workshop or discussion on food/gardening related topics. 

Vancouver Permaculture Monthly Meet Up – We gather a few times a year to meet up, share some yummy food, skills and good conversations. The event starts with a potluck and is usually followed by a topic of discussion or short workshop. Hosted by VV and Westside Neighbourhood Food Network. Join the group on Meetup, or register for a spot on the Van Rec website.
