Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
Eshaya Minchin's Page
Profile Information
- In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
- Dunbar
- 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...
- Beekeeping! Running around, potlucks, painting, stargazing, snowball fights, learning about what others find to be meaningful.
- 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!)
- I would like to learn about beekeeping, and keep bees or plant bee forage flowers at my house. I have skills in critical reading and writing. I have done outreach work and am good at learning about something and sharing / giving a shpeal about it.
- 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?
- More flowers! More time available for people to enjoy their families and to garden, play, etc.
Maybe have a no-power night once a month in the neighborhood. No streetlights, tvs or house lights. Candles, looking at stars, going to bed early.
- 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
- Don't feel like answering all the questions now? No worries, just tell us briefly why you're interested in joining at this time, and you can come back and update your profile later.
- I am interested in finding a group of beekeepers in the Dunbar area.

Hi Eshaya
Welcome to VV. Why don't you join the Dunbar Transition village under Villages? That way you can keep in touch with what's going on in our neighbourhood.
We've got a movie coming up this thursday at St. Philips church on thursday at 7 pm. We'll be showing the Greenhorns, about young farmers.
Would love to meet and have an opportunity to chat about how you might get involved.
I took a bee keeping class this autumn whcih was awesome. Several of our members have bees.
Look forward to meeting you soon.
cheers.
Ann
