Island Transformations Organization
Our Vision
A coalition with a vision to dynamically transform the way Vancouver Islanders live, work and play in their communities. We envision Vancouver Island being a safe, progressive, environmentally sensitive, energy self sufficient and life‐sustaining place for all its inhabitants.
Welcome to ITO
Our Mission
To collaborate with others to connect the following ideas:
- An ecosystem approach to environmental protection and planning;
- Less dependency on Carbon based energy sources;
- Sustainable urban design, planning and energy use;
- Transportation options that promote community, healthy lifestyles and real Choice;
- Local economic development models that encourage local food production;
- Diversity in accommodation that promotes resiliency and respect for all;
By developing proposals based on these interconnected ideas, IslandTransformations.Org will provide individuals, organizations and
governments the tools and resources required to meet the challenges
of climate change and the end of cheap oil.
