TimeBanking Comes to the Lower
Mainland
Exchanging Time and Talent With Your Community Members New to the Lower Mainland is TimeBanking! A chance to
exchange time and talent with your neighbours in your
community.
In TimeBanking members earn TimeCredits for helping each other - one hour of your time entitles you to one hour of another TimeBank member’s time.  TimeBanks don't use money: instead, they encourage people to make deposits and withdrawals of their time for helping each other. When your skills are called upon, you give your time by providing a service for another member of the TimeBank. You receive TimeCredits which are deposited centrally in a TimeBank that you can withdraw, anytime you need help yourself, from any other TimeBank member. Helping between members is offered, requested and exchanged through an easy-to-use internet website (or by phoning a coordinator) to link people up and keep a record of transactions through the local TimeBank website. Unlike money, anyone and everyone can earn TimeCredits - no-one is excluded. Everybody - young or old - has something valuable to offer. What help would like to receive and what would you enjoy doing for others in your community? Helping works better as a two way street, meeting neighbours, making friends and building a vibrant community! Everyone has something to offer of value and we all enjoy the opportunity to share our time and talents with others who value them. Join up for free to share your time and talent and also receive time from other great people! Members earn TimeCredits for helping each other - one hour of your time entitles you to one hour of any other TimeBank member’s time. Your TimeCredits are deposited centrally in a internet based TimeBank that you can withdraw, anytime you need help yourself, from any other TimeBank member. The more members there are the greater variety of exchanges of time and talent can take place! Help between members is offered, requested and exchanged through an easy-to-use internet exchange website (or by phoning a coordinator if you don't have a computer) to link people up and keep a record of transactions through the local TimeBank website. Everybody - young or old - has something valuable to offer. Helping works better as a two way street. Give the
