Hi Everyone

We have recently completed our plans for the signature initiative of Transition Town Peterborough .The first phase of the initiative is expected to take at least a year. It is called Resilient Peterborough Everywhen 2030.
The plan will be introduced to the general public iin the fall edition of The Greenzine, available around the first of October.
However those who register for our Transitioners Orientation Program on Sept 21st as posted here on Facebook will preview the plan and implementation process as well as what has come to be known as Open Space Technology. We are in the larger Dining Hall at Sadleir House and we will have our first attempt at a timeline to 2030. We hope it will stand on its feet ! Ok OST is utilized by transitioners around the world to engage and empower folks to participate and take action beyond their own self interest....community building.
The plan calls for the creation of faciitator teams and scribes to implement the process throughout the community. So the Transitioners Orientation Program is a great way to have a look at our process by participating in it ...doing it before you're doing it we use to say!
This is a Loonie or Toonie donation event to help pay for the room .But please register with our TRI Registrar Joan Michaels in advance at joanttp@cogeco.ca or 743 8032

"Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of cultivated ecosystems which have the diversity, stability and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of landscape, people, and appropriate technologies, providing food, shelter, energy and other needs in a sustainable way." - Bill Mollison

This introductory course first presented in the spring of 2009, focuses on the food producing aspects of permaculture design, with an emphasis on perennial edible landscapes, and exploring what it means to allow nature to do the work, while increasing yields and decreasing inputs.

This course is spread over two weeks to allow some study and review as follows:-

Thurs. Sept. 10th : 7 pm -- 9 pm Introduction
Sat. Sept. 12th: 10 am to 4:30 pm
Sat. Sept. 19th: 10 am to 4:30 pm
Thurs. Sept. 24th 7 pm - 9 pm.

The two Saturday sessions include field trips

Bring your own lunch and dress casual
Reg. price $40, Student/Seniors $20

Courses are priced for social inclusion across the fabric of our society.

Pre-registration required with Registrar Joan Michaels 705 743-8032 or joanttp@cogeco.ca
