The Transition Town movement is starting up in the Comox Valley, joining a worldwide effort to create local grassroots solutions to the challenges of peak oil, climate change and the economic crisis.
The fourth meeting will occur this Thursday at the Florence Filberg Centre Rotary Hall in Courtenay from 7 to 9 p.m. The focus of this month’s meeting is to support emerging or existing projects and to continue to refine the visions articulated in the previous session.
If you’re ready for action, thinking about action, are brainstorming ideas or are just curious there is a place for you on the transition continuum.
If you haven’t attended any of the previous meet-ups don't worry. There will be a brief overview of what was covered, and how it relates to the next steps.
If you have a project to share you can have your own display table.
Don't need a table but want to test the waters on an idea brewing? Share your project on the projects wall and solicit feedback.
Want to participate in or support a project? Meet the project starters and help them get going by sharing resources, ideas and your expertise.
For those in brainstorming and ideas mode, dedicated tables will be set up for each of the visioning groups (food, energy, housing, etc.) to continue your conversations, evolve your ideas and start identifying projects.
If you weren't at the last meet-up, not to worry. You can easily join any group conversation that inspires you.
If you’re new to Transition Town, there will be an entertaining and informative Introduction to Transition Towns talk for new people near the beginning of the evening, so invite your friends.

All are welcome for donations at the door to cover expenses.
