Transitioning to a better future
Transition Winnipeg (TW) is a community-led initiative to increase our quality of life, make the local economy more resilient and adapt to contemporary challenges -- a changing climate, more expensive oil and fewer non-renewable resources. The transition movement is community-led. Anyone can be involved and everyone is invited, regardless of background, age, or experience.
Please contact us to get involved in any related groups and projects, including:
- Energy Descent Action Plan (EDAP) for the City of Winnipeg
- Communications Working Group
- Co-housing initiative
- Eco-village initiative
- other loosely-affiliated community groups, such as Fruit Share
TW acts as a hub for a number of neighbourhood initiatives, including Sustainable South Osborne and Transition North Winnipeg. If you would like to join or begin a Transition group in your neighbourhood, please email us at transitionwinnipeg [at] gmail.
Thanks to Assiniboine Credit Union for their support through the Sustainable Commmunity Grant Program.
