Transition Guelph is part of an international movement called the Transition Movement. There are over 400 different initiatives all over the planet and Transition Guelph is proud to be the second Transition Initiative in Canada! Transition Guelph was founded 2009 and is a bottom up, volunteer powered organization that focuses on programs and projects that support the goal of creating a more resili
ent community in Guelph. Each Transition Town has different projects and working groups that are fueled by the passions of volunteers. In Guelph, we have working groups such as Urban Food, Local Economy, and Inner Transition - each with the focus of community resiliency, especially looking at the area of depleting fossil fuel and climate change. The Transition Movement asks "What does our community look like when cheap fuel is no longer available?" and then puts projects into action. Transition Guelph is an organization for positive change. Rather than focusing on the overwhelming challenges facing us around peak oil and climate change, Transition Guelph volunteers work together to make social change happen from the ground up. In preparing for a culture no longer fueled by oil, we turn to local community resilience which has some massive side effect of supporting each other, learning new skills, sharing resources, and having fun!
