- urban agriculture, the arts, urban homesteading, perserving seed diversity, potlucks and h.f.w.s.t.w of course!
- 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.

Hi Gigi
Welcome to Village. Why don't you join the Dunbar group to keep abreast of what is going on in our neighbourhood.
We've been focusing on emergency preparedness as a way to build community resilience and help neighbours get to know each other. We've just been awarded a grant from the city (neighbourhoods small grants) to develop a seed saving workshop, and will be involved in the harvest festival.
It would be great to get you involved. Look forward to meeting you soon.
Cheers.
Ann
