THE ART OF TRANSITION CONNECTING CREATIVE MINDS IN DURHAM REGION

A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
TRANSITIONS
Premier Issue!

Welcome to the premier issue of Transitions, Durham Region’s new quarterly zine dedicated to continue the momentum of the Art of Transition (AOT).

Through the Art of Transition’s social networking campaign we learned that the community is more than passionate about Durham’s transformation. Through the amazing feedback we’ve received, and from the participation online at www.artoftransition.ca, we are encouraged by the sharing of information and ideas that is still taking place on our website and on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

For those who couldn’t join us on Nov. 12 at the Ajax Convention Centre, we hope you enjoy the highlights of the day packed into this 12-page publication. Also check out our In Transition profiles, highlighting the people and places that are changing Durham Region.

To help us bring the latest events and concert listings to the attention of Durham residents (and beyond) be sure to submit your free event listing online at www.durhamtourism.ca. While you’re there, subscribe to the Durham Tourism e-newsletter.

Let’s keep the transition alive – please submit your ideas, events, and articles for the next issue of Transitions by Friday, Feb. 12.
