  • Local Economy
    Rob Hopkins likens a community economy to a leaky bucket, with money going in the top and leaking out through the holes. The more we act to localize our economy, the more holes we plug, and the more money stays in our community. Let's talk about how we can do that, and what the impact will be.

  • Relocalization
    As fossil fuels become more expensive, travel and transport will too. We can work to ensure that more of what we need is available locally, and reduce our reliance on long transportation pathways. That's Relocalization!

  • Training for Transition
    It's not enough to transition our own communities, we need to encourage others to do so as well. That's a big part of the transition undertaking. Training for Transition makes the skills and knowledge of existing transition initiatives available to start-ups (or "mullers" as they're known in the jargon of transition.)

  • Permaculture
    Permaculture is a guiding principle in the transition movement. It's a whole-systems approach that can support designing communities, farms, economies, backyards, and even families and individuals to have the stability and resilience of natural ecosystems.

  • Transition Health and Healthcare
    How to we design healthy communities? How can we look after an aging population when the existing healthcare system is under stress, and it's likely to get worse as energy and transportation become harder to maintain. Many of our members are already working on these issues. Is it a concern? Let's hear from you?

  • Awareness Raising
    Climate change is on the news, peak oil and the limits to growth are still below the radar. And although Transition Guelph is starting to getting noticed, there are still many who don't know about the transition movement. How can we raise awareness, about the issues, and about the transition movement? How can we "spread the word?"
