Welcome to Village Vancouver! I'm sending you an invite to join Transition Strathcona - it's pretty new, but VV has been doing a lot in Strathcona lately.
Currently we're doing a Cultivating Food, Cultivating Community series at the Community Centre, and we've also just added a Permaculture Design for Community Resilency workshop (Nov 27-28), which will be followed by a Post Carbon Visioning (28th).
We held a Seed Saving workshop in October in Strathcona in conjunction with Farm Folk City Folk and BC Seeds, and are now working on starting seed saving collectives in a few neighbourhods, including yours, so if you're a seed saver...
Our Urban Market Gardens group is also for people doing urban homesteading, there's an Art and Celebrations group...take your pick!
Cheers,
Ross
