We would like to give everyone an opportunity to get more involved.

Several new Action Groups are forming and they all need increased participation. Please look over the list and see what grabs your interest. How much time is needed? Only as much as you choose to give. Whatever you choose to do is appreciated. This is an evolving process. Help us to evolve it.

Email info@transitionbarrie.ca to volunteer.

What new groups are forming?

Awareness/Education/Communications Group: Working on the website, newsletters, press releases, and any other methods of creating awareness for Transition Barrie.

Energy Group: This group has started, and it looks like they can use any number of new volunteers. One new area they are looking at is developing a historical picture of energy use in Barrie one hundred years ago – 1910, to compare with 2010.

Food Group: This groups direction will be developed by the people involved, but probably it will include gardening, local food and agriculture, cooking, preserving, and whatever else arises.

Heart and Soul Group: In the short term, this group will help organize and run our public events. In the longer term, we recognize that real Transitioning can be hard work, and perhaps this group can find ways to have fun, to celebrate, to build community, and to support one another as we approach major changes in the way we live.

Youth Group

Community & Business Development Group

If you have an idea about another group that youʼd like to form, by all means, let us know.

If you would like to participate, respond right now . . .
