Transition Neighbourhoods Open Space Meeting

Transition Toronto invites our Neighbourhood Groups to participate in an Open Space meeting on Wednesday, September 28.  The primary goal of this meeting is to establish systems and resources to allow TTo to better support the Transition Neighbourhoods around the City.

Please be sure to come if you are part of a neighbourhood initiating group (even if it is not a formal or official group yet).

We are eager to use this event as a means of identifying your areas of need. We want to hear about, and provide, ideas on products and services that could be provided by TTo’s neighbour-hood support team, as well as potential partner groups or businesses to connect with in your area.

Thus far, we have identified and are inviting the following Transition Neighbourhoods:

Don Valley

East End Transition Enthusiasts (EETE)

Harbord Village

Midtown

West End in Transition (WE-IT)

plus residents interested in joining EETE or forming a "Beach In Transition" group

Also consider attending this event if you are working to grow Transition in your area (even if you’re not yet a group listed above) and have some feelings towards how the neighbourhood-scale initiatives can be supported by our city-wide Transition Initiative. Please have at least a basic understanding of what Transition Towns are about. (You can read up on this website, at www.transitionnetwork.org/, or the "Transition Handbook" (at libraries or book stores)).

Questions to think about in advance and which we will pose at the meeting:

1. What are your group’s needs in terms of support from TTo (or others) to help you follow the Transition model?
2. What are your needs in general terms to function as a neighbourhood group, e.g. meeting venues, materials, funds, other groups to partner with?

We look forward to having all the TT Neighbourhood Groups together for an interactive session! See you then.
