- 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 am commuting from Vancouver biweekly, to Cortes where we are running a smallholding on Cortes island (first year) so I am interested in everything, and can talk about our experiences starting up with chickens, ducks, rabbits, and our market garden
- 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.
