Hello,

My name is Keith. I live in Vancouver but I joined GETI just over a year ago because my family owns property in Maple Ridge so I was interested in learning about sustainability initiatives taking place in the area and making some connections.

Our acreage in east Maple Ridge is currently vacant and under-utilized. I would like for the land to become productive, ideally with permaculture principles in mind, with the goal of contributing to local food security.  As I am…

If anyone has any old, unused bikes taking up space in the garage, HUB is having its annual "Cycle Recycle Free Bike Draw" at Earth Day (April 26). HUB tunes and tidies up the bikes and then gives them away via a free draw. Contact Jackie Chow for more info.

We're busy planning for GETIFest 2014, which will be on Saturday September 20 at the Memorial Peace Park. Our theme this year is "imagining the future of our community".

Not very catchy, is it? Help us come up with something better. Current slogan ideas:

• Imagine Community
• Vision of our Community
• Future Community
• Community 2040

If you like one of these ideas, or have a better idea, please say so in the comments.
