Transition Victoria

Transition Victoria is engaging the Greater Victoria region in creating a resilient future. We envision a region that is transformed over the next twenty years from the current addiction to fossil fuels to a diverse, sustainable, resilient local culture and economy. Together, we can design practical, doable steps to get off the oil-addicted treadmill and create a way of living that's more connected, more resilient and more climate-friendly.

With the combined impacts of the climate crisis, peak oil, and economic instability, communities and individuals in Canada and around the world are facing drastic changes to our ways of life. The Transition Town movement offers a creative, proactive approach for communities to design their own way into a post-carbon future.  Sierra Victoria is part of the Transition Town movement which fosters a post-carbon way of life at a local level.

The Sun Always Shines on Earth Day
Blog Entry
My grandpa, a jovial man, used to say that the sun always shines – if only for a brief moment - on Saturdays. I plan to tell my (hypothetical) grand-kids something similar: that the sun always shines on Earth Day. Last week, in Victoria, the sun was shining bright enough to light up the next century of Earth Days.
Field Notes from Rithet's Bog
Press Clip
Early morning is a busy time on the water. By now our presence has been forgotten, or accepted, and all attention is given to the serious business of breakfast. The Mallards harvest the shallows, up-ending to reach the muddy bottom. A female Red-Winged Blackbird scurries up and down the cattails in search of bugs, maybe even adding a straw or two to her new nest as she goes.

Nothing says spring in B.C. like cherry blossoms, yard sales, and a full basket of fun Earth Day events to get involved in. Please join us in speaking up for the planet.
We are far from alone, and we know it
Blog Entry
“It was incredible – you should have come!” That’s what I told my roommates when I returned to our home in Victoria on Sunday, after an inspiring Saturday at the No Tankers rally in Comox. I went there to join concerned citizens from across western BC – which included a busload from Victoria, and outstanding representation from our Sierra local groups on Quadra Island, in Powell River and Comox.
