Our Mission

Our current projects include a comprehensive community initiative in South Haney, Maple Ridge, B.C., based on the "building community from within" approach. We plan to implement a unique mentoring system called a Block College. In the food security realm, we operate two community gardens and promote organic gardening through workshops and pesticide alternatives education. We are also the proud stewards of a heritage building in Maple Ridge, helping to maintain the legacy of the Japanese Canadian homesteading pioneers. To connect all these endeavors, we are an action group of the local transition town initiative, Golden Ears Transition Initiative (GETI), which will help to build resilience in the community to the environmental, social and economic challenges and opportunities likely to shape our future.
