- 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...

- 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!)

Thanks, Lisa! I sent you an email. I'm normally pretty flexible on the weekends, but this one is busy. Looking forward to being more involved at the next meeting!
Hi Lisa,
I am trying to organize that car free day block party. Now the first stumbling block is the insurance and where to p/u the barricades. It is info that the City wants right off the bat. I will not take on the insurance thing by myself and I have most neighbours wanting a block party. I am in a squeeze. Can you help me out with info? and guidance?
Thank you. Kathi
