Profile Information
- In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
- Downtown East Side
- 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...
- Community-building, policy, education, and all of the above examples. I have a master's in Community Development and background in education administration. I just moved here from San Francisco and am eager to get connected!
- 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!)
- Yes. Education, community events/organizing, or wherever I can be most helpful.
- 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
Village engages individuals, neighbourhoods & organizations to take actions that build sustainable communities & have fun doing it. Join us!

Hey Megan,
could you send me in a message your actual email address so I can send you outreach stuff not just through the website? Thanks so much! :)
