We have received the designation as one of twenty five Communities for All Ages in the entire US, under which we are launching the Sedona TimeBank. In three years the TimeBank plans to be a Valley presence focused on multiple spotlights, including hunger, sustainability and social justice. At the same time, I am personally looking at relocating to British Columbia and the Victoria, Richmond area in the next year. Wondering about the visibility of TimeBanking in that particular area...I have not been able to find anything online. Does anything currently exist? Is there an opportunity to facilitate such an effort in this geographic area? I have the great privelege of serving as the Executive Director of the Sedona Community Center in Northern Arizona.

Goes TimeBanking by Francois http://lmtimebank.org/blog/2010/02/kelowna-b-c-goes-timebanking/comment-page-1/#comment-16 Francois Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:32:54 +0000 http://lmtimebank.org/blog/?p=39#comment-16 Hi there, Thank you so much for this post on your blog. I am the founder of OKKtimebank.org and we are indeed brand new and looking forward to build a strong base in the region here. News sure travel fast :-) The fact that there was in Lower Mainland BC motivated me to start one here. I just moved to the region 6 months ago and saw the need here. Let's all make a better world for ourselves one hour at a time Thank you again Hi there,

I know they had some alternative currency projects for years. TimeBanking began here in 2008 and on very limited area basis and opened up to the Lower Mainland in Jan. 2009. So far no community potlucks :-(. Need an organizer type to handle that stuff (hint hint). Information meetings only are what has occurred here to date. More social meetings are needed to really bond people and improve the trust concerns. Best wishes with your TimeBank. Great to hear Calgary has a TimeBank.

I am presently on the Planning Committee. When did Timebanking begin in your area (community)? We have enjoyed Potluck Lunches & Dinners to socialize. How did you attract new members and what type of social activities did you enjoy with the Timebanking participants. Sincere Thanks.
