Hi Grant
Welcome to VV. Why don't you join the Dunbar Village group? That way you can keep in touch with what is going on in our neck of the woods. I know it looks a bit static but that doesn't mean there's not anything going on.
Our focus lately has been on neighbourhood emergency preparedness. But we've also had a movie night series, canning, cheesemaking, and other activities.
If you're interested in getting more involved, I'd love to talk to you as well. We'd like to start up a working group again and get more projects in the pot.
Look forward to meeting sometime soon. I am often in Southlands as my daughter and I ride.
Cheers.
Ann
