About Us and How to Get Involved

Transition Town Powell River is an official Transition Initiative affiliated with the international Transition Network. We are located in Powell River, BC, Canada, on the beautiful upper Sunshine Coast (where a lot of the sunshine is liquid, but hey – the gardens love it!), part of the Canadian west coast.

As a Transition Initiative we work to raise awareness of, create practical projects which contribute to, and encourage everyone to take part in, the coming transition from a high-CO2, high-fossil fuel culture to a low CO2, low-energy future.

Coming up soon!
