- 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!)
- Schools. I've been teaching for 20 years & have recently headed up the environment club at Lord Kitchener school.

Hi Julie
Welcome to VV. Why don't you join the Dunbar Village group, that way you can keep up with what's going on in our neighbourhood. Truth be told, we have been pretty quiet on the VV village page. But that doesn't mean there isn't stuff going on.
We're hoping to start up our working group again and are looking for people who are keen to get some projects going. We have a seed saving group (working at Lord Kitchener) and an emergency preparedness group, if either are of interest. And we've done canning, cheese making and other activities.
Hope you are keen to get involved.
Cheers.
Ann
