Maybe it's the ocean air, or the clouds of cherry blossoms in spring, but there's something about this neighbourhood that inspires its inhabitants to "be the change they want to see in the world." Greenpeace set its roots in Kitsilano in 1975. The first offices of the Green Party of BC were once located on Trafalgar and 6th. Even the Georgia Straight called 6th Ave. home, back in 1967 when rent cost a mere $30 a month and the Straight itself a dime.

Today, the neighbourhood continues to foster businesses, organizations, artists, and individuals with unique and influential visions, such as the David Suzuki Foundation and Voters Take Action for Climate Change. We at the Wired Monk are inspire by their efforts and strive to use our own community vision to support their causes. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a strong community to nurture a great initiative. And that is the change we want to be in the world.
